MQO A.I. Hub: Pricing

We developed our MQO A.I. Hub as an accessibly-priced, blended subscription/usage-based platform designed for professional organizations seeking to harness the power of A.I. with peace of mind about robustness, data security, and ease of use. Our platform is designed to scale with you—start small or go big, with transparent costs that accommodate every stage of your organization as you integrate A.I. with your practice. There are no rate limits on any of our tools or any of the A.I. models.

About the MQO A.I. Hub Platform & Modules

  • Organization and Team management. An Organization functions as a managed, encrypted environment for your team where an appointed admin (or multiple admins) can manage User access, permissions, and roles, and exercise oversight and due diligence for use of A.I. technology at your workplace. All data generated by Users within an Organization are kept together. This ensures that even if someone leaves your company, their contributions and insights generated through the platform remain accessible to the Organization’s leadership.
  • Content Centre. A place to view, manage, and work with all of your content from across the Hub. Group content together into Collections to work with multiple related content pieces. Start an A.I. Chat session with a Collection to load all of its content as context for your Chat. Share content with other Users in your Organization.
  • A.I. Chat for Professionals module. Encrypted and secure, no rate limits, with earliest and validated access to the latest tech powered by OpenAI. A streamlined user interface, a host of productivity features, and unlimited access to the incredible new GPT4-Omni with an unprecedentedly large input limit. Use Analysis Mode to upload documents (like PDFs, spreadsheets, Word / text files, etc) or image files and use them as data or context for your Chat. We use advanced document comprehension and data extraction methods to optimize your uploaded files for high-fidelity recall by the A.I.
  • A.I. Transcriber module. Transcribe your audio or video files. Utilizes OpenAI’s context-correcting Whisper model and Azure Cognitive Services processing for spot-on transcriptions with the ability to identify and tag multiple speakers and apply timestamps.
  • A.I. Content Coder module. For expert market research clients, A.I.-assisted text analysis of open-ended survey responses. Use MQO’s fine-tuned model to develop a Codebook of common themes with context-appropriate descriptions and example respondent quotes. Optionally code any number of individual responses with their themes, ready for respondent-level export.
  • PDF Manager module. Not A.I. powered (yet), but a handy tool to manage and manipulate PDFs (split, arrange, merge) with ease in a secure environment—a bonus feature we’re happy to tack on.
  • Secure from the Start. All data are fully encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-compliant processes and technology, hosted in Canada. Our Data Processing Agreements with our upstream partners ensure that your data will never be used for LLM model training. MQO Research cannot access your data on the A.I. Hub Platform; your Organization’s data are encrypted at the Organization level and securely stored on our servers in AES-256 unreadable format.

Integrated Pricing Structure

Our pricing model blends subscription fees with a clear and manageable usage system, ensuring predictability and control over your expenses:
  • Base Subscription: A foundation for A.I. enablement, including essential A.I. tools and included usage to match and scale with your usage needs.
  • Included Use Quota: Each subscription tier begins with an included quota of usage per month, replenished each month to seamlessly integrate initial usage into the fixed cost.
  • Extra Usage Pricing (Qokens)*: A virtual currency (details below) that translates complex operations into straightforward units, providing clear usage accounting. Extra usage charges only begin to accrue once all monthly Included Qokens are used.

Usage-Based Pricing Explained: *Qokens

Usage pricing, simplified. 1 Qoken = $1 CAD.
  • Extra usage charges only begin to accrue once all monthly Included Qokens are used.

Qoken Consumption Rates & Examples:

  • A.I. Audio Transcriber: 1.20 Qokens for each hour of audio transcribed
  • A.I. Content Coder:
    • Roughly 1 Qoken for creating a Codebook of response themes only, for 1,000 open-ended responses
    • Approximately 6 Qokens for fully coding 1,000 open-ended responses (including generating a Codebook and producing respondent-level coding/theme tagging data for export)
  • A.I. Chat for Professionals:**
    • Example: engaging in a discussion about a pasted-in 500-word short story with five back-and-forths with the A.I., with pricing depending on the chosen model:
      • Using GPT3.5-Turbo: Used ~0.12 Qokens (lower cost to use, plus tends to offer shorter/less detailed responses)
      • Using GPT4.0-Omni: Used ~0.32 Qokens (higher cost to use, plus tends to provide more detailed/lengthier responses)
** A.I. Chat usage is influenced by several factors including the model used for the Chat, the amount of content in your Prompts and in the A.I.’s Response, and the overall length of the Chat. Longer Chats (those with lots of back-and-forths) accumulate Qoken usage faster, as the Chat History is brought forward in the background to provide continuous context within the Chat session. This is especially so while using the GPT4-Omni model; it has a very large “memory” (i.e., input limit/context window) which greatly improves its performance, but it also means that the longer the Chat, the greater the Qoken usage in the background to maintain its improved context. You can reduce Qoken usage by starting new Chats when you no longer need the A.I. to remember earlier parts of the conversation, or by using the GPT3.5-Turbo model when you don’t need the extra performance.

Financial Control and Transparency

  • Usage Monitoring: Easily track your Qoken usage in real-time through our dashboard to prevent billing surprises.
  • Limit Setting: Option to set “soft” caps (receive a warning) and “hard” caps (prevent overages) on usage to maintain budgetary control.
  • Secure & Simple Subscriptions: Manage subscriptions and process payments yourself effortlessly and securely with Stripe, our trusted payment partner.
