If the AI employee cannot pay for itself, it should not be hired.
Pricing follows the role, not a generic software tier. Narrow follow-up and receptionist employees price lower. Estimating, bidding, and document-heavy employees price higher because the job spec, integrations, and human approval rules matter more.
Audit
First decision
For deciding which AI employee deserves to exist before committing to a system.
First Employee
$750-$2,500/mo
For one constrained AI employee built around a real workflow and measured weekly.
AI Department
After proof
For businesses ready to stack multiple AI employees after the first role proves ROI.
What changes the price
A receptionist, estimator assistant, and bid assistant are not the same hire. The audit ties price to the first role, the systems involved, and the evidence that proves the employee is working.
Lower scope
Follow-up, receptionist, reminders, simple inbox triage, and other narrow roles with clean handoffs.
Higher scope
Estimator, bid, takeoff, multi-tool, or document-heavy roles that need deeper workflow setup.
Build fee
Quoted after audit when the setup effort is clear. Qualified pilots may reduce or defer setup to prove value first.
