Manual moderation doesn't scale. As your platform grows, moderation costs can spiral out of control. Our AI-powered solution cuts costs by up to 90% while improving accuracy and response times.
Calculate Your SavingsContent moderation is expensive. A single human moderator reviewing images costs $15-25 per hour, can review only 1,000-2,000 images per day, needs breaks and time off, and experiences burnout from exposure to harmful content. As your platform grows, these costs scale linearly - or worse.
Beyond direct labor costs, manual moderation has hidden expenses: recruiting and training new moderators, managing high turnover rates (often 30-50% annually), providing mental health support, handling appeals and escalations, and maintaining 24/7 coverage across time zones.
The math is stark: a platform processing 1 million images per day with manual moderation would need 500+ full-time moderators. At $40,000 average loaded cost per moderator, that's $20 million annually - just for basic moderation.
AI handles 90%+ of content automatically - clear violations are blocked, safe content passes through. Only edge cases need human review.
When human review is needed, AI prioritizes the queue by severity. Moderators handle the most important decisions first.
AI doesn't need night shifts, weekends, or holiday pay. Consistent coverage around the clock at the same cost.
Handle 10x traffic spikes without hiring. Scale from thousands to billions of images with marginal cost increases.
AI filters the worst content before humans see it. Lower burnout means lower turnover and training costs.
Simple per-image pricing makes costs predictable. No surprises from overtime, turnover, or training.
We recommend a phased approach to maximize savings while maintaining quality:
No - AI typically improves quality. At 99.5% accuracy, our AI outperforms average human moderators who achieve 95-97% accuracy due to fatigue and inconsistency. AI also provides consistent decisions 24/7 without the variability human reviewers show.
Yes, but far fewer. Humans remain valuable for edge cases, appeals, policy development, and handling content that requires cultural context. A team that needed 100 moderators might need 10-15 with AI assistance.
Most customers see positive ROI within the first month. The break-even point is typically when AI handles more than 10-15% of your current manual volume - easily achieved in the first week.
Our system provides confidence scores so you can route low-confidence decisions to human review. You control the threshold - more automation vs more human review based on your risk tolerance.
