What does it cost? Every price, from a $497 pilot to a $150,000 build.
TrainYourAgent publishes every price. A self-serve chat agent is $99 a month. A one-day agent build session is $497. A done-for-you voice agent is $4,950 to build plus $1,997 a month. Websites run $8,000 to $15,000, automation $5,000 to $50,000, and custom software $35,000 to $150,000. Nothing here is quoted on request.
Productized — One fixed price, published, and every one of them checks out on this page in under a minute. 9 of 9 are self-serve.
Founders (usage-based) — $0 build fee then $0.39 / minute answered. The same voice agent build, with the build fee deferred. You pay only for minutes the agent actually answers. For: Pre-revenue and early-revenue teams whose call volume has not arrived yet and who cannot justify a build fee before it does. Timeline: 21 days
Agent Builder (self-serve chat) — $99 / month then $99 / month. One chat agent trained on your site, documents and pricing pages, embeddable anywhere, with transcript logs and a weekly tune-up suggestion. For: A team that wants the cheapest honest way to find out whether an agent trained on their own material is any good. Timeline: Live the same day
Agent in a Day — $497 one-time then —. A four-hour working session. You leave with a deployed agent on a real number and the artifacts to run it yourself. For: An operator who wants to see a real agent on a real number before spending build money, and is willing to be in the room for four hours. Timeline: One day
AI audit (productized) — $1,000 one-time then —. Interviews, systems and data review, ranked opportunity list, costed roadmap, do-not-do list, measurement plan. Credited in full against your first project. For: A team that can name three AI ideas and cannot rank them, and would rather spend a fixed fee than a misdirected pilot. Timeline: 2–3 weeks
AI search audit — $1,000 one-time then —. Citation baseline across the major assistants, entity and schema review, answer-structure review, refresh and freshness audit, prioritised fix list. Credited in full against the first project. For: A business that ranks on Google, never appears in the answer above it, and wants to know why before paying anyone to fix it. Timeline: 1–2 weeks
Site scope and build slot — $1,000 one-time then —. A written scope for your site: sitemap, the page-by-page content model, the schema and AI-search structure, a fixed quote against it, and your build slot held. For: Someone who has decided they want the site and would rather start it now than exchange emails about starting it. Timeline: Scope in 5 business days
Process map and automation quote — $1,000 one-time then —. Your process on one page — every step, owner, trigger and exception — plus a fixed quote to automate it and the honest list of steps not worth automating. For: An operator who can name the retyping that is costing them and wants it priced before committing to a build. Timeline: Map in 5 business days
Operators (done-for-you) — $4,950 build then $1,997 / month. Voice plus chat, function calling into your systems, evaluation suite, monitoring, weekly tuning. 5,000 minutes included. For: A single-location business already paying humans to answer phones, qualify leads or run support. Timeline: 21 days
Scale (multi-location) — $9,950 build then $4,997 / month. Multi-location or multi-brand routing, a dedicated engineer, deeper integration work, 25,000 minutes included. For: Multi-location, multi-brand and agency-scale operations that need per-branch routing and reporting. Timeline: 21 days
Project engagements — A published band. Which end of it you land on is decided by scope, not by negotiation.
Single workflow — $5,000–$15,000 then Optional retainer. One process, two to four systems, monitoring, exception queue and runbook. For: Anyone with one high-volume, low-judgement job moving data between two to four systems. Timeline: 2–4 weeks
Focused site — $8,000–$10,000 then $300–$500 / month. Roughly 8–15 pages, schema graph, answer-first structure, AI-referrer analytics, one comparison surface. For: A business whose site has to be found, quoted and believed — and nothing more. Timeline: 4–6 weeks
Full marketing site — $10,000–$15,000 then $500–$1,060 / month. 20+ pages, programmatic service and location pages, comparison library, content model your team extends, migration plan. For: A team publishing across many services or locations that needs a content model it can extend without us. Timeline: 6–10 weeks
Multi-workflow programme — $15,000–$50,000 then $3,000–$8,000 / month. A connected set of processes sharing data and identifiers, with a shared exception queue and unified reporting. For: Operations where several processes share customers, jobs or identifiers and currently share a person instead. Timeline: 6–12 weeks
Internal tool or portal — $35,000–$60,000 then Optional support retainer. One clear workflow, one user type, integrated with the systems you already run. Auth, roles, audit trail, deploy pipeline. For: A team whose operations have outgrown spreadsheets and three disconnected SaaS tools. Timeline: 8–14 weeks
Whole function automated — $50,000+ then $8,000–$20,000 / month. An entire operational function — intake, dispatch, billing, reporting — rebuilt as instrumented pipelines with agents in the loop. For: A business rebuilding an entire operational function — intake, dispatch, billing, reporting — as instrumented pipelines. Timeline: 3–6 months
SaaS MVP — $60,000–$100,000 then Optional support retainer. Multi-tenant application with billing, onboarding, roles and the two or three workflows that prove the product. For: A founder with a validated wedge who needs a multi-tenant application with billing, onboarding and roles. Timeline: 12–20 weeks
Production web application — $100,000–$150,000 then Optional support retainer. Data-heavy application with multiple user types, deep integrations, background processing and reporting. For: Data-heavy operations with multiple user types, deep integrations and real reporting load. Timeline: 20–30 weeks
Retrofit project — Quoted from the audit then —. Implementing the audit's fix list: schema graph, answer-first restructuring, comparison surface, analytics split, refresh infrastructure. For: A site that works, converts, and is invisible to answer engines. Timeline: 3–8 weeks
Retainers — Monthly, month to month, no minimum term and no notice period.
Care plan only — — then $300–$1,060 / month. For a site we did not build: 90-day refresh cadence, schema maintenance, AI-referrer reporting, Core Web Vitals watch. For: A site somebody else built that nobody is now maintaining. Timeline: Month to month
Operate and improve retainer — — then $3,000–$20,000 / month. Monitoring, incident response, adapting to third-party API changes, and a monthly allocation for new and changed workflows. For: Anyone running automations that a third-party API change can silently break at 2am. Timeline: Month to month
Fractional CAIO — advisory — — then $5,000–$12,000 / month. Roadmap ownership, vendor selection, architecture review, monthly leadership session, quarterly reset against the measurement plan. For: A leadership team that needs the AI agenda owned, not another vendor to manage. Timeline: Month to month
Fractional CAIO — embedded — — then $12,000–$30,000 / month. The above plus weekly working time inside your team, direct accountability for delivery, and priority access to our build capacity. For: An organisation where delivery has to be owned by the same person setting the direction. Timeline: Month to month
Ongoing retainer — — then Sized to scope. 90-day refresh cadence, new answer pages, comparison content, earned-mention outreach, quarterly citation reporting. For: A business that has done the retrofit and needs the freshness loop to keep running. Timeline: Month to month
What moves the number, line by line
How much does an AI voice or chat agent cost? Whether the agent only answers, or has to write into a dispatch, CRM or scheduling system — integration work is most of the build fee. How many distinct call paths it must handle, and how many of them can end without a human. Whether your number ports in or a new one is provisioned, and whether recordings are legal in your state. Answered-minute volume, which sets the monthly, not the build.
How much does a website cost? Page count is the weakest predictor. Number of distinct templates is the strongest. Whether content is migrated, rewritten or supplied — migration of a large existing site is its own project. Whether programmatic service or location pages are in scope, because that changes the content model rather than the page count. Whether the answer-first structure and entity graph are built in, or retrofitted later at a higher cost.
How much does custom software cost? The number of distinct user types, each of which carries its own permission model and its own screens. How many systems it must integrate with, and whether any of them has an undocumented API. Whether real data has to be migrated, and whether it is clean. Compliance surface — anything touching health, payments or minors adds review cycles a feature list does not show.
How much does business process automation cost? How many systems the process crosses, and how many of them are willing to be crossed. How much judgement sits inside the process. Judgement is not automated, it is escalated, and escalation has to be designed. Whether an exception queue and a runbook are in scope. They always should be; they are the difference between automation and a time bomb. How often the upstream systems change, which sets the retainer rather than the build.
How much does AI search optimization cost? Whether the site can carry an entity graph as it stands, or needs structural work first. How much existing content can be restructured versus rewritten. How many comparison and answer surfaces are in scope. Whether the refresh loop is run by us or handed to your team.
How much does AI consulting cost? The audit is fixed. Everything after it is priced against work we can also build, so a roadmap line has a real number next to it. Fractional CAIO pricing moves on decision surface — how many teams, how many vendors, how much governance. Whether you need advice or accountability. Those are two different products and the second one costs more for a reason.
Three ways to buy
Self-serve checkout — You already know which fixed-price product you want. Card, Stripe, done — no call, no form, no qualifying gauntlet. Steps: Pick a product below and pay through Stripe. Build fees and the first month are itemised on one invoice. A kickoff link arrives by email the same business day on any lane with a build. Build runs against a written spec agreed on that call. Live in 21 days or the build fee is refunded. 30-day money-back on the build fee applies from the day the build is accepted. Typically Minutes to buy. Same-day kickoff link..
Scope a build — Your project sits inside a band rather than on a price tag — a website, a software build, an automation programme, an audit. Steps: Answer the brief. It branches on what you need built and asks only the questions that change the number. We read it and either send a written scope with a fixed quote against it, or tell you we are the wrong supplier. If the scope is right, the quote is what you pay. Change requests are priced before they start, not discovered in month two. Typically Quote within 2 business days..
Talk to someone — You want to describe the problem out loud, or you are choosing between two of the lines above and want the honest comparison. Steps: Thirty minutes on Zoom with the engineer who would do the work. No SDR and no second discovery call. Bring what you have: call volume, the systems your work lives in, the two questions your front desk gets most. You leave with a written scope, a band, and a straight answer about whether any of this is worth doing. Typically 30 minutes, usually inside a week..
What does each line cost, against what the market charges for it?
Six lines. Each is priced against the published 2026 market band for buying that specific thing, read off first-party vendor and industry pricing pages. On 2 of the 6 our published ceiling sits below the bottom of that band. On 3 it overlaps and we are not cheaper, which each of those lines says plainly. On 1 nobody publishes a comparable band at all and we publish the method instead of inventing one. A supplier claiming to undercut the market on all six things it sells is either lying or bad at four of them.
The 21-day answered phone — AI agents
The call is answered in two rings at 9pm on a Sunday, the caller is qualified, the job is booked into your calendar, and the record is in your CRM before you have read the notification. For: A service business where the phone ringing out is a job going to a competitor, and where nobody is going to hire a night-shift receptionist to fix it. Build — market $13,000 – $40,000, ours $497 – $9,950 (under the market). Monthly — market $3,000 – $20,000 / mo, ours $1,997 – $4,997 / mo (at the market). Our published ceiling is below the bottom of the market band for the same components. Not for: Anyone wanting a chatbot bolted onto a website with no connection to a backend. That is a $99/month product, not a build, and we will tell you so on the call.
What is actually in 21-day answered phone?
Conversation design and the agent itself — The greeting, the qualification path, the booking flow, the transfer rules and every failure path — built against your real call recordings rather than a script we imagined. Published market band for buying this on its own: $8,000 – $25,000 (A time-boxed test of whether the approach works at all, ending in a go or no-go.). Method: /tools/ai-agency-cost.
Function calling into the systems you already run — Customer lookup, availability, booking, job creation and the text confirmation — wired natively, not by a human reading a transcript the next morning. Published market band for buying this on its own: $5,000 – $15,000 (One process, mapped, built, instrumented and handed over.). Method: /tools/automation-roi.
An evaluation suite that runs before launch and after every change — A test suite for the agent itself, so a prompt edit cannot quietly break the booking path and a model version change underneath you cannot go unnoticed. Not sold separately by anyone in this market. No published market band exists because it is not a line item this category sells. Ask three suppliers what happens to their agent when the model version changes underneath it.
Weekly tuning against what callers actually said — Someone reading the transcripts, finding the question the agent fumbled, and shipping the fix — not a support inbox that waits for you to notice. Published market band for buying this on its own: $3,000 – $20,000 / mo (Operating the automations: monitoring, exception handling, changes as systems shift.). Method: /tools/automation-roi.
An hourly health watch on the number — The line is called on a schedule and the result is recorded. You find out the agent stopped answering from us, not from a customer. Not sold separately by anyone in this market. Nobody publishes a price for this because almost nobody does it. It is the difference between an agent and an agent you can leave alone.
The site an answer engine can quote — Websites
When someone asks an assistant who to call for what you do, your page is structured, dated and specific enough to be the source the answer is built from — and you can see it happening in your analytics. For: A business whose buyers have started asking a model instead of a search box, and whose current site is a brochure the model cannot parse, cite or attribute. Build — market $8,000 – $15,000, ours $8,000 – $15,000 (at the market). Monthly — market $300 – $800 / mo, ours $300 – $1,060 / mo (at the market). We are not cheaper here and do not pretend to be. A custom small-business site costs what it costs. What differs is that the AI-search structure and the build-time assertions are inside the price rather than a retainer sold to you afterwards. Not for: A single landing page for a campaign. That is an afternoon, not an engagement, and we will tell you to build it yourself.
What is actually in site an answer engine can quote?
The build itself, as real software — Typed, tested, prerendered, fast on a phone on a bad connection. Core Web Vitals and accessibility are acceptance criteria in the scope, not a report you get afterwards. Published market band for buying this on its own: $8,000 – $15,000 (Designed rather than themed, custom components, real content structure and a CMS.). Method: /tools/website-cost-estimator.
An entity-linked schema graph and answer-first architecture — Cross-referenced @id nodes rather than scattered snippets, question-shaped headings, and blocks that still make sense when a model quotes one out of context. Not sold separately by anyone in this market. Too new for anyone to publish a defensible band. We publish the method and the measurement instead of a price, and the citation baseline is a separate $1,000 audit you can buy on its own.
Build-time assertions on every page — Unique title, unique h1, self-referencing canonical, description inside 140–160 characters — enforced by a build that throws rather than a checklist someone runs. This site is 1,015 pages under those rules. Not sold separately by anyone in this market. Not a line item anyone sells. It is the reason a programmatic site is still clean at a thousand pages instead of filing several hundred duplicates in Search Console.
The care plan and the 90-day refresh cadence — Dependency and security updates, uptime watch, and a dated content refresh loop your team can actually run — because an undated page is a page an answer engine discounts. Published market band for buying this on its own: $300 – $800 / mo (Keeping it running: monitoring, small changes, a support path.). Method: /tools/ai-agency-cost.
The system you own outright — Custom software
The portal, the MVP or the internal tool exists, it is in a repository with your name on it, and the day you decide to take it in-house nothing about that is a negotiation. For: A team whose business now depends on something no off-the-shelf tool does, and who have worked out that renting it forever from a vendor is the more expensive option. Build — market $50,000 – $120,000, ours $35,000 – $150,000 (at the market). Our band sits inside the published market band rather than under it, and on a build this size a supplier quoting well under the band is telling you something about the scope they are planning to deliver. Not for: Fixed-price megaprojects with a frozen twelve-month specification. Nobody delivers those well, including us, and we would rather say so before the contract than during it.
What is actually in system you own outright?
The platform build — Product surface, data model, auth, integrations and the deploy path. Native mobile alongside it when the product genuinely needs it rather than because it sounds better in a scope. Published market band for buying this on its own: $50,000 – $120,000 (A first sellable version of a product: auth, billing, core loop, nothing else.). Method: /tools/website-cost-estimator.
A migration-first database with row-level security audited as a deliverable — Every schema change is a replayable migration, and the access rules are tested rather than assumed. On our own flagship engine that is 498 migrations against 244 production tables. Not sold separately by anyone in this market. Sold nowhere as a line item, and the reason is uncomfortable: most builds treat the security model as configuration rather than as something with tests against it.
CI that blocks a bad deploy — Test guards that fail the pipeline rather than filing a warning nobody reads. You inherit the guards along with the code. Not sold separately by anyone in this market. Quoted as 'best practice' by everyone and delivered by fewer. The count is checkable on our repositories rather than asserted here.
The retyping, deleted — Automation
The job moves from intake to dispatch to invoice to follow-up without a person shepherding it, it tells you when it breaks, and there is a human escape hatch on every path it can take. For: An operator who can name the exact moment each week when somebody copies a number out of one system and types it into another, and who has stopped finding it funny. Build — market $6,500 – $17,500, ours $5,000 – $50,000 (at the market). Monthly — market $3,000 – $20,000 / mo, ours $3,000 – $20,000 / mo (at the market). We publish the same band the market publishes, because we read it off the same tables. What is inside ours that is frequently not inside theirs is the process map and the escape hatch — the parts that decide whether the thing still works in six months. Not for: Processes nobody has written down yet, and workflows that change fundamentally every month. Those need a decision, not a pipeline.
What is actually in retyping, deleted?
A written map of the process, before anything is built — Every step, owner, trigger and exception on one page, agreed before a line of code. Automating an undefined process encodes the confusion and makes it faster. Published market band for buying this on its own: $1,500 – $2,500 / day (A small senior team with real delivery capacity behind the advice.). Method: /tools/ai-consultant-rates.
The workflow itself, self-hosted — n8n on infrastructure you control, scheduled jobs that run without supervision, and serverless functions where the real logic lives. No per-task pricing on a platform that owns your pipeline. Published market band for buying this on its own: $5,000 – $15,000 (One process, mapped, built, instrumented and handed over.). Method: /tools/automation-roi.
Idempotency, retries and a human escape hatch on every path — The pipeline can be run twice without doing the thing twice, it recovers from a provider being down, and any branch a person needs to interrupt can be interrupted. Not sold separately by anyone in this market. Not a line item, and the omission is where most automation projects fail six weeks after handover rather than during the build.
Operate and improve — Monitoring on the pipeline itself, not just on the systems either side of it, plus the changes as your process changes. Month to month. Published market band for buying this on its own: $3,000 – $20,000 / mo (Operating the automations: monitoring, exception handling, changes as systems shift.). Method: /tools/automation-roi.
The citation baseline — AI search
You have a measured baseline of where you are cited today, an entity graph that makes you legible to a model, and a quarterly report showing the direction of travel rather than an assurance. For: A brand that suspects it is invisible when a model answers a question in its category, and wants to know before spending anything on fixing it. Build — market no published band, ours $1,000 (no published band). Monthly — market no published band, ours $300 – $1,060 / mo (no published band). This is the one line with no market comparison at all, and pretending otherwise would be the exact behaviour the rest of this page is arguing against. What we publish instead is the method, so you can judge the work before buying it. Not for: Anyone wanting guaranteed placement in an AI answer. There is no such product, and suppliers selling it are selling a guess.
What is actually in citation baseline?
A citation baseline you can argue with — The questions your buyers actually ask a model, run, recorded and attributed — with the method published so you can rerun it yourself and get the same answer. Not sold separately by anyone in this market. The category is roughly a year old and nobody publishes a band worth quoting. Rather than invent one, we productized the audit at a published price and credit it against any work that follows.
An entity and schema graph, and answer-first restructuring — The pages that matter rebuilt so a model can attribute them: cross-referenced entities, question-shaped headings, and a comparison programme that concedes where a competitor genuinely wins. Not sold separately by anyone in this market. Same reason. The nearest published figure in this space is that 97% of llms.txt files received zero AI-bot requests in May 2026 — which is a finding about the tactic, not a price.
A 90-day refresh cadence and a quarterly citation report — Visible dateModified on the pages that carry the claims, AI-referrer traffic split out as its own analytics channel, and a report each quarter you can hold against the baseline. Not sold separately by anyone in this market. There is no market band for this and we will not manufacture one. The audit is $1,000, credited, and everything after it is quoted from what the audit found.
The costed roadmap — AI consulting
A working document with real prices in it: what to do first, what it costs, what to leave alone, and the explicit do-not-do list — not an inventory of everything technically possible. For: An owner or exec being told to 'do something about AI' who needs a ranked, priced answer they can take to a board — from someone who also ships the build and therefore has to live with the estimate. Build — market $1,500 – $2,500, ours $1,000 (under the market). Monthly — market $5,000 – $30,000 / mo, ours $5,000 – $30,000 / mo (at the market). Our published ceiling is below the bottom of the market band for the same components. Not for: Teams looking to validate a decision already made. We will tell you if we think it is wrong, which is the whole point of paying for the opinion.
What is actually in costed roadmap?
The audit: ranked opportunities, costed, with the do-not-do list — A build-versus-buy call on each item, a data and systems readiness assessment, a measurement plan defined up front, and the honest list of things not worth doing. Credited in full against any build that follows. Published market band for buying this on its own: $1,500 – $2,500 / day (A small senior team with real delivery capacity behind the advice.). Method: /tools/ai-consultant-rates.
Fractional ownership of the AI agenda, if you want it — Strategy, vendor selection, governance sized to your business, and internal capability building — advisory or embedded. Month to month, and it ends when you no longer need it. Published market band for buying this on its own: $5,000 – $30,000 / mo (Part-time senior ownership of the AI agenda, including vendor selection and governance.). Method: /tools/ai-consultant-rates.
Where those market bands come from
Market bands are the observed 2026 ranges published in our own benchmark tables, read off first-party vendor and industry pricing pages on 23 August 2026, and each row links to the method behind its band. Our bands are read from the same price tables published on the service pages. Neither side is typed by hand, and the verdict on each line is computed by comparing them.
Why would this go badly, and what stops it?
"I paid an agency before and got a login and a slide deck." — That is the median outcome in this market, and nothing on a sales page distinguishes the suppliers who do it from the ones who do not. What removes it: A fixed written scope before any money moves, work done in a repository you can watch, and 30 days to take the build fee back if what ships is not what the scope said.
"I will have no idea whether it is actually working." — Most AI deployments are evaluated by vibes, and the supplier is the only one holding the transcripts. What removes it: Evaluation suites that run before launch and after every change, and every transcript, run and outcome in your own dashboard rather than ours.
"It will sound like a robot and embarrass me in front of my customers." — It will if nobody budgets for latency and barge-in, and plenty of builds do not. What removes it: You hear it and sign off on the script before it takes a single real call, and the latency budget is written into the scope rather than discovered afterwards.
"I will be stuck with you." — Most of this category is built so that leaving means starting over, and that is a commercial decision the supplier made on purpose. What removes it: Source, prompts, schemas and transcripts are exportable on day one, on a month-to-month agreement with no minimum term.
"I do not have time to project-manage this." — Every implementation that fails, fails because it quietly became the owner's second job. What removes it: You are asked for decisions, not deliverables. On the agent lane that is three touchpoints total; on a platform build it is a weekly half hour with someone who can actually decide.
"The price will double once you are inside." — Change orders are how this industry makes its margin back, and the number on the proposal is often not the number on the invoice. What removes it: The ladder is published from $99 to $150,000, the scope document is the contract, and anything outside it is quoted before it is built.
"This will take half a year." — On a mid-market programme it does — the published market band for one starts at a six-month minimum. On a production platform, honestly, it should. What removes it: On the agent lane, 21 days or the build fee comes back. On the lines where six months is the real answer we say six months, and the scope carries dated milestones you can hold us to.
What are you actually risking?
Live in 21 days, or the build fee comes back. Measured from the kickoff call, against the scope document we both signed. Not from when you return the questionnaire, not from when procurement clears — from kickoff. The boundary: This one is the agent lane. A platform build is measured in months and the scope carries dated milestones instead; promising 21 days on a $150,000 system would be a lie told to win a deal. The exception on every lane is an integration you did not tell us about at kickoff.
30 days to change your mind. If what ships does not match the spec we agreed, we refund the full build fee and you keep the artefacts. No clawback argument, no attribution dispute. The boundary: The build fee. Retainer months already delivered are not refunded.
You own it from day one. Source, prompts, schemas and transcripts export on request from the first day of the build. Month to month, no minimum term, no exit fee. The boundary: Third-party platform accounts stay on their own vendors' terms — we can hand you the keys, we cannot rewrite Twilio's contract.
We will tell you not to buy. Each of the six lines publishes who it is wrong for, and those lists are real. If your volume is under a few hundred minutes a month, a $49/mo packaged receptionist is the correct purchase. If a configured off-the-shelf tool solves it, we would rather lose the build than sell you one you did not need. The boundary: This is not modesty. A client who should not have bought is a refund, a bad reference and a support burden, and we would rather lose the deal on the call.
Who should not buy this?
Five situations where we are the wrong call, published because a supplier who says yes to everyone has told you nothing by saying yes to you. Buyers who want a guaranteed revenue number. We guarantee delivery, dates and ownership. We will not guarantee an outcome we have no instrumentation to measure. Anyone who needs it live this week. A done-for-you build is measured in weeks, and on the software line in months, and we will not pretend otherwise to win the deal. Teams with an in-house engineer who wants to own the build. You will move faster than us and you should. Projects with no decision-maker available weekly. Custom software dies from unanswered questions faster than from hard problems. Regulated deployments needing signed BAAs on day one. Say so on the call and we will tell you honestly whether the timeline survives it.
30-day money-back on the build fee
30-day money-back guarantee on the build fee: if your first agent doesn't ship to the spec we agreed on the kickoff call, we refund the full build fee, you keep the artifacts, and there's no clawback fight.
Live in 21 days
One delivery promise on every done-for-you lane, so you never have to work out which tier buys which timeline. The clock starts when we have your material and your access, not when the contract is signed. Miss it on anything we did not flag at kickoff and the build fee comes back.
You own what we build
Repositories, infrastructure accounts, domains and data live in your accounts. There is no proprietary platform to be locked into.
Month to month
Every recurring engagement — agent operation, website care, automation retainer, AI search, fractional CAIO — is month to month with no annual minimum.
Published prices
Every line on this page carries a real range. If a range does not fit your situation we will say so on the call rather than discovering it in month two.
