About Spanvero

Spanvero is the independent AI outcome-cost lab. It starts with a real, dated model-call price, then includes expected retries, evaluation, final failures, and human recovery to show what a completed task costs. The 565-model price reference stays free, with $0 compute markup.

Who operates it

Spanvero is built and operated by Cynosure LLC, a Florida (USA) limited liability company — the legal entity named in the Terms of Service, the data controller in the Privacy Policy, and the seller of Decision Packs and audits. Stripe processes Decision Pack payments; Cynosure LLC remains the seller. Contact: [email protected].

Why $0 markup is structural, not a promise

We never sell, resell, or hold compute. When Spanvero points you at a GPU rental or an API provider, you pay that vendor directly, on your own account, at the vendor's own price — no money passes through us. So an inflated number earns us nothing: the honesty isn't a pledge we're asking you to take on faith, it's the shape of the business.

How we make money — all of it

The $19 one-time Decision Pack turns a free scenario into a reusable PDF report. Flat-fee Outcome Cost audits are available now. Dated data packs and prepaid API access will only be sold after the underlying record is useful. Disclosed vendor referrals and Amazon category-search affiliate links may also pay us, but never affect a published price, task assumption, or ranking.

The record

Since June 20, 2026 we've logged the full cost landscape — live API prices, GPU rental rates, and our own published table — once a day into an append-only, version-controlled record that is never rewritten, across a catalog of 565 models. Any change to a past figure, including our own corrections, is detectable on the permanent record.

What we never do

No paid placement — a vendor cannot buy a ranking. No selling user data. No holding your provider API keys server-side by default — they live in your own browser, and a “your own key” call goes straight from you to the provider.
