Accenture sells AI transformation to thousands of clients while quietly telling its own employees they get a fraction of what some were already spending. The internal memo reveals a tension at the heart of every major consulting firm racing to profit from AI.
$29 is enough for one of them pro plans. That’s plenty if you’re not wasteful.
But do companies like Accenture get that subsidized plan at scale? At API rates that can easily be thousands of dollars.
Their website is a little unclear there.
There’s a team plan for 2-150 person orgs, above that you have to go with Enterprise, where apparently the seats are 20$/month billed annually, 20 seat minimum + API usage costs, and it says “All Team plan features, plus:” (a bunch of enterprise-focused things), so that to a reasonable person would suggest that the users would still get the same subsidized usage until they’ve used up their rates and after that it’s API pricing. Of course what it suggests to a reasonable person may not be what it actually offers because it’s an American company and good fucking luck making those adhere to rules about misleading advertisement and whatnot
