AI Agent Cost per Task

AI agent cost per task is the price for an agent to complete a single defined unit of work, the most directly comparable way to price AI labor.

Per-task pricing aligns cost with outcomes and removes the ambiguity of token- or seat-based pricing when comparing vendors.

The WLI publishes the market cost per task across 31 categories so any vendor quote can be benchmarked.
