IFX Switch Alerts

Your AI bill changed yesterday. You didn't notice.

Model prices move. New flagships land cheaper than last quarter's. The model you picked six months ago is rarely the model you'd pick today. We watch the index daily and email you the moment a switch saves real money.

How it works

Three steps. No router. No traffic.

1
Tell us what you run.
Your current model, your average monthly spend, and the kind of work you do with it — coding, summarization, agentic, video, image.
2
We watch the index every day.
IFX tracks LLMs, video, and image models across every major provider, with capability scores for each. When a cheaper model clears your bar, our policy engine flags it.
3
You get an email + Slack ping.
Each alert includes the new model, the price delta, an estimated monthly saving at your volume, and a one-page migration note for your engineering team.

What the alert looks like

An anonymized example.

From: alerts@ifx.news

Subject: $14,200/mo saving available on your Claude Sonnet 4.6 traffic

Your current model, Claude Sonnet 4.6 ($6.00/1M blended, capability 47), still works fine for your task class.

Today's IFX champion at the same capability bar is GPT-5.4 Mini at $1.69/1M blended, capability 40. That clears the same capable-tier gate at 3.6× lower per-token cost.

At your reported volume of 60M tokens/month, the switch saves an estimated $14,200/month.

One-page migration note attached. Caveats inside.

Who this is for

Honest about who shouldn't sign up.

Built for you if

Your team spends $5k+ per month on AI inference.
You can't manually track every Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google pricing change.
You'd switch models for a real saving, but you need someone to do the math.
You're comfortable with a model swap if the capability bar is met.

Not for you if

You're a hobbyist or solo dev spending under $1k/month. Use the free IFX Advisor instead.
You need a router that automatically swaps models per request. That's a different product (LiteLLM, OpenRouter, Portkey).
Your model choice is locked by contract or compliance.

Why us

Built on the only AI cost index that ships its math.

Daily-refreshed data.

Every major LLM, video, and image model tracked across providers. Not a stale spreadsheet someone forgot to update.

Capability-gated.

We don't just chase cheap. Each alert is anchored to your task's capability bar so the switch is actually safe.

Methodology in the open.

The full math behind every price index and capability score is on our methodology page. No black box.

Pricing intent

Founding tier at launch: $199 / month.

Wait-list members get first access and lock that rate for life. After founding seats fill, the price moves to $399 / month for new sign-ups.

Daily monitoring of your declared stack.
Email + Slack alerts on every actionable switch.
One-page migration notes per alert.
Quarterly review of your full AI spend against the index.

FAQ

Real concerns, short answers.

How is this different from OpenRouter or LiteLLM?: Those are routers. They carry inference traffic and let you swap models. We don't carry traffic. We watch the market and tell you when a swap is worth your team's time. We're the intelligence layer that sits beside whatever router you already use.
What if I'm using a custom fine-tune or a niche model?: We can't help. Alerts only fire when a tracked model in the IFX universe drops below your current one at the same capability bar. If you're outside the tracked universe, this product won't be useful to you yet.
How accurate is the capability bar?: We use AA Intelligence Index v4.1 for LLMs and AA Arena Elo for video and image. Each alert names the exact scale, the gate, and the qualifying models. You can always click through to the full data.
Will you ever leak my usage data?: No. Your stack and spend stay private. The only thing that ever ships is the alert email to you.
