How We Price
AI Automation

Most agencies keep their pricing vague because every project is different. Every project is different, but the factors that drive the cost are predictable, and you deserve to see them up front. As an AI automation agency serving mid-market and enterprise companies, we price our work in a way your finance team can plan around.

  • Fixed fees instead of open-ended hours

    Our audit is a fixed fee, and our builds are fixed-price projects scoped from what the audit uncovers. You will never receive a monthly invoice for additional hours you didn't approve.

  • Pricing tied to business value

    Every opportunity we recommend comes with a modeled ROI that compares the cost of the build with the time, errors, and capacity it saves. If the numbers don't support a build, we will tell you, and we won't recommend it.

  • Payments linked to milestones

    Projects are billed in stages that match clear delivery milestones. That way, your payments always follow visible progress instead of running ahead of it.

  • Start small and expand with proof

    Most clients begin with the audit and a single build. You decide whether to continue at each stage based on measured results, so you're never committed to a large program before you've seen it work.

What Drives the Cost of an AI Automation Project

Two projects that both sound like "an AI agent for customer support" can differ in cost by a factor of three. The difference usually comes down to a handful of factors, and we walk through each of them with you during the audit.

Third-party costs such as model API usage, software licenses, and cloud hosting are billed by the provider directly to you, at cost. We estimate them in your proposal.

  • Number of systems and integrations

    Connecting AI to one modern CRM is relatively simple. Connecting a legacy ERP, a homegrown database, and several SaaS tools with inconsistent data takes more engineering and more testing, which adds to the cost.

  • Data quality and access

    Clean, accessible data speeds up every stage of a project. Scattered spreadsheets, scanned PDFs, or locked-down systems add preparation work, and the audit tells you exactly how much before you commit.

  • Security and compliance requirements

    Frameworks like HIPAA and SOC 2, financial regulations, and strict internal security policies call for additional controls, reviews, and documentation. We scope this work honestly at the start so it never becomes a surprise later.

  • Volume and reliability needs

    An automation that handles 50 requests a day is built differently from one that handles 50,000. Higher volumes and tighter service levels require more resilient architecture and closer monitoring.

  • Human-in-the-loop design

    The more decisions that need approval workflows, escalation paths, and review screens, the more design and build time a project requires. We help you decide where human review adds real value and where it only slows things down.

  • Model and infrastructure choices

    Model usage, hosting, and vector database costs are usually small compared with the time an automation saves, but they are real. We estimate them up front and design every system to keep them efficient.

Typical Investment by Project Type

Every project is scoped individually, but these ranges reflect what mid-market and enterprise clients typically invest in common AI automation projects.

Project type Typical investment Typical timeline
AI chatbot or support agent $15,000–$35,000 4–8 weeks
Document and data entry automation $15,000–$40,000 4–8 weeks
AI integration into an existing ERP or CRM $20,000–$60,000 6–10 weeks
Custom multi-step AI agent $25,000–$60,000 6–12 weeks
RPA modernization with AI $20,000–$50,000 6–10 weeks
Multi-department automation program Custom, scoped to your work 3–6 months

How We Calculate the ROI of AI Automation

Before any build begins, every opportunity receives a business case that your finance team can review and pressure-test. Our consultants look at five sources of value and weigh them against the fixed price of the build.

Hours saved

Time reclaimed from manual, repetitive work, valued at its fully loaded cost: hours saved multiplied by the loaded hourly rate.

Error reduction

Rework, write-offs, and compliance risk that the automation helps you avoid.

Speed

Shorter cycle times for approvals, onboarding, month-end close, or customer response.

Capacity

Extra volume your team can absorb without adding headcount.

Revenue impact

Faster lead response, higher conversion, and better retention, where they apply.

After launch, we measure performance against the same baseline. That way, the ROI you were promised becomes a number in a monthly report rather than a projection in a slide deck.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does AI automation cost?

For mid-market and enterprise companies, a single production automation typically costs between $15,000 and $60,000, depending on the number of integrations, the state of your data, and your compliance requirements. Larger multi-department programs are scoped individually. Most clients begin with our $4,500 audit, which is credited to the build if they go ahead.

Why should we pay for an audit instead of getting a free quote?

A free quote is an estimate based on a short conversation. Our audit is real work: process mapping, ROI modeling, and a detailed implementation plan for your top opportunity. It ends with a fixed-price proposal you can rely on, it's backed by our guarantee, and the full fee is credited to your build.

What does the audit guarantee cover?

If we don't identify at least $100,000 in annual value across your automation opportunities, the audit fee is refunded. We agree with you at kickoff on how value will be measured, so there is no ambiguity at the end.

Can we skip the audit and go straight to a build?

In some cases, yes. If you already have a well-documented process, clear requirements, and system access ready, we can scope a pilot directly. For most teams, though, the audit saves more money than it costs because it prevents building the wrong thing.

Are there ongoing costs after launch?

Only the ones you choose. Third-party costs such as model usage and hosting are billed to you at cost. A retainer is optional, and everything we build continues to run without it.

Do you offer hourly or time-and-materials pricing?

Not for defined projects, because fixed pricing protects you from scope creep. For open-ended research or staff augmentation, we can discuss a monthly capacity arrangement.

How do AI model and API costs work?

Model providers bill based on usage. For most business workflows, monthly model costs are small compared with the labor the automation saves. We estimate these costs in your proposal and design every system to keep them efficient.

Do you work with smaller companies?

Our engagements are designed for mid-market and enterprise organizations, typically companies with 100 or more employees. If your business is smaller, we're happy to point you toward resources that better fit your budget.

How is retainer pricing set?

Retainers are priced around the type and volume of work you need, such as monitoring and support, model tuning, or ongoing development of new workflows. We scope the work with you first, then confirm a monthly fee in writing before the retainer begins.
