AI Units Cost - Image Analysis

Help Integration Service

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to understand the cost model for using the Image Analysis activity from the Generative AI package.

From the documentation, it’s not clear how the consumption is calculated. In particular, when I look at the consumables in my license, I don’t see any AI Units being consumed when I run tests with the Image Analysis activity.

So my questions are:

  • Is the cost per call so low that a single execution does not consume a full AI Unit?
  • Do I need to perform a certain number of calls before I see any AI Unit actually deducted?

At the moment it’s really unclear how to estimate the real cost of a bot that relies on this activity.

Thanks in advance.

@Leonardo_Costa

Generally per gen ai activity call it would consume 1 unit

For your case as well it would have as you might have some thousands 1 might not be reflecting..

You can go to ai consumption dashboard in insights page and check there..generally it takes 34 hours to sync data

Cheers

Image Analysis is billed per execution (1 AI Unit per call on Flex).

If you don’t see deductions, it’s usually due to reporting delay or being on Unified Pricing.

Hi @Leonardo_Costa

AI Units are consumed based on activity and payload, so small test runs may use less than 1 unit and not show in your metrics. You’ll see deductions once cumulative usage reaches 1 unit, so monitor a batch of typical runs to estimate real cost.
