How much does AI implementation cost for a small business?.
Per helper, per month, setup priced once and agreed upfront. A plain breakdown of what AI adoption costs, what moves the number, and the guarantee.
The short answer
Honest AI pricing is per helper, per month: each live helper is one line on the bill, with setup work priced once, separately, and agreed before it starts. If a provider can't tell you the monthly number for one clear job, they're selling fog.
Per helper, per month
One helper, one clear job, one line on the bill. Start with one helper and the bill is one line. Add a second when the first has earned its leash. Cancel one and the rest keep working untouched. You're never paying for a platform of features you don't use, and never for seats nobody sits in.
What moves the number
- The job itself. Drafting replies is simpler than touching money.
- The leash. More autonomy means more checking behind it.
- The tools. Some jobs need paid software underneath, on your accounts, in your name.
- Setup. One-time work, priced once, agreed before it starts. Never a surprise line.
The guarantee is part of the price
If a helper breaks and we don't fix it within 72 hours, that month is free for that helper. Not a credit, not a voucher. Free. And if we can't get your brain working within one month, you get every cent back. A price without a guarantee is a bet you're making alone.
What we won't do
We won't quote "AI transformation" as a lump sum with a slide deck. We won't bill per seat. And we won't hide the number: the pricing page shows the actual figures, per helper, before you talk to anyone.
