Cost Estimate for Sending 2,500 AI-Personalized Emails to Verified Addresses

Any chance of an estimate how much it costs in dollars to send an AI generated personalized email to 2,500 verified email addresses? There are a few credit draining tasks to get to that end result and I'm trying to estimate what our costs are going to be

Hi Cody, thanks for getting in touch! You can check this here https://openai.com/pricing#language-models

Thanks Juan. So that gives the OpenAI pricing but I don't know how to translate that to Clay, plus there are the other Clay steps in that process that aren't OpenAI tasks. I just want an estimate of how much it will cost to send ~2,500 personalized emails via Clay

Hey Cody! adding to this thread...Check out our "What are Clay Credits?" page and this forecasting calculator- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1raW9EM31z4iL92bYTgtZFhcBR-huIEGV6V4-a-CjkUg/edit#gid=942860155

Thanks Arturo, so can you help me calculate roughly how much it would cost to send 1,000 personalized emails per day in Clay? Seems like it would take around 4-6 credits roughly to send AI personalized emails so 4,000 to 6,000 credits which is $385 roughly right? I initially thought Clay was the budget option for us to do this but it is actually looking way more expensive than the competition as I look into it more. Am I missing something?

I'd say that's a decent average credit-wise, of course, it may not be the right tool for everyone depending on various factors but a ton of our users are SMBs or early-stage startups and they’ve definitely gotten their value from clay.When put into perspective, other tools could take a lot more time to aggregate as much data into a single source like a spreadsheet or CRM, aside from having to run other AI tools that would allow you to personalize at scale in a similar fashion.

If you have your own API keys with some of the providers, for example, openAI or any email finder, you can use it and save on Clay credits for something else.

We're also continuously adding more options to improve coverage and eventually solve for more use cases.

Yeah that all makes sense, thanks. I tried to hook up my own OpenAI API keys but got an error, not sure what was going wrong...

Or maybe it is working it's just saying it'll be slow? Which is fine

Ok it looks like using my own API key is WAY cheaper. Curious exactly how much cheaper though, do you know a conversion? Or do I just have to run x amount of rows and see how much I get charged? Also is there a way so it uses GPT 4 instead of 3.5 turbo?
