pricing

Fixed prices, agreed before we build.

The first call is free. After that, every audit and build has a fixed price we agree up front. If we underestimated the work, that's our problem, not yours.

what affects price

Why two builds can cost different amounts

We price the work, not the hours. These are the things that make a project bigger or smaller.

How many systems it connects to
One inbox is simpler than a CRM, an accounting tool and a shared drive talking to each other.
The state of your data and documents
Clean, current documents are quick to work with. Scattered or outdated ones need tidying first.
How many people and steps are involved
More users, roles and approval steps mean more to design, test and train.
Voice, chat or behind the scenes
Agents that speak to customers by phone need more testing than ones that work quietly in the background.
Security and compliance rules
Health, legal and financial data can need extra controls, logging and review.
AI usage costs
AI providers charge per use. The accounts are in your name, so you see and pay those costs directly.

always included

In every engagement, at no extra cost

  • You own everything

    Code, prompts, data and AI accounts are yours from day one. Nothing is locked in with us.

  • Approval steps where they matter

    Payments, customer promises, hiring and anything legal: the AI drafts, a person decides.

  • Plain-English documentation

    What the system does, what it can see, how to change it and who to call. Written for your team, not for us.

  • An early demo on your own data

    You see it working on real cases well before the end, so the final handover holds no surprises.

questions

Questions about cost

What does it cost?

The consultation is free. Audits, builds and retainers have fixed prices agreed before we start. See the pricing page for starting points.

We are a small business. Is AI worth it for us?

Often, yes — small teams feel repetitive work the most. The free consultation is there to find out. If AI is not the right fix, we will say so.

How long does a build take?

Most first builds take three to eight weeks. You see an early demo on your own data well before the end.

Who owns what you build?

You do. The code, prompts, data and AI accounts belong to you from day one.

Which AI models do you use?

Whichever fits the task: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or open models. We compare quality, cost and data rules for each job, and we can switch later without rebuilding everything.
