How to calculate what free-tier abuse costs you
A simple formula to estimate money lost to farmed accounts and how much a detection tool could save.
The formula
Money lost = farmed accounts × cost per free user. Cost per free user is the average model tokens, compute and credits one free account consumes.
Savings = money lost × detection rate. Repeat it monthly to see the yearly impact.
Finding your farmed accounts
Export past signup emails and run them through Unfarm Batch audit. It groups addresses that share a device, browser, mailbox or numbered series and shows the estimated loss using your own cost per user.
