Tokens power the AI features in Tepun AI Report Builder. Understand how token usage works, track your consumption, and manage your AI analytics budget effectively.
What are Tokens?
Tokens are the currency that powers AI features in Tepun reports. Every interaction with the AI — generating reports, answering questions, creating suggestions — consumes tokens. This transparent model ensures you only pay for what you use.
Fair Usage Model: Unlike expensive per-seat licenses, Tepun AI Report Builder uses token-based pricing. Light users pay less, heavy users get the power they need.
How Tokens Work
When you use AI features at report.tepun.com, tokens are consumed based on the complexity of the request:
| AI Action | Token Usage |
|---|---|
| Ask AI to generate a report | Based on query complexity and response length |
| Generate schema suggestions | Based on schema size and number of suggestions |
| Update vector store | Based on schema complexity |
| Modify existing reports | Based on modification complexity |
| Natural language queries | Based on query and response size |
Important: Token display on the dashboard shows actual tokens × 2. This multiplier accounts for the complete AI processing pipeline at Tepun AI Report Builder.
The Traditional Way: Per-Seat Licensing
Traditional BI tools use per-seat licensing, which creates problems:
- High Fixed Costs: Pay for every user whether they're active or not
- Access Restrictions: Limit who can use analytics due to cost
- Unpredictable Scaling: Adding users means significant cost increases
- No Flexibility: Same price whether you create 1 report or 100
