Pricing FAQ
How are your AI services priced?
We offer fixed-price packages based on your project’s scope—the workflows to automate, tools to integrate, and level of training and support. No hourly surprises.
What are your typical price ranges?
Strategy-only projects start at $400–$1,500 CAD. Marketing & Engagement packages range from $1,000–$2,500, and Operations & Automation projects are $2,000–$5,000. Monthly support retainers are available for ongoing optimization.
Do you offer fixed packages or custom quotes?
Most clients choose from three clear packages: Strategy, Marketing & Engagement, or Operations & Automation. Custom quotes are available for unique needs.
What’s included in the price?
Discovery, workflow or content system design, tool setup, basic testing, training, and handover materials (like SOPs)—all included. Third-party SaaS subscriptions or long-term infrastructure are not.
Are software subscriptions included?
No. You pay your own SaaS fees (CRM, email, chatbot, etc.) so our pricing stays focused on expertise and implementation.
Do you charge hourly or by project?
All work is priced per project or package, with clear deliverables and timelines—no open-ended hourly billing.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Larger projects can be split (e.g., 50% up front, 50% on completion).
Is there a discount for bundling packages?
Yes—combine packages or commit to multi-month support for a bundled discount.
Do you require a retainer for ongoing support?
Monthly retainers are available for ongoing optimization, separate from one-time setup fees.
Why are your prices lower than custom AI firms?
We use proven, off-the-shelf AI tools and smart integrations—avoiding the huge costs of building custom models from scratch.
Why are your prices higher than just buying a tool?
Buying a tool is just the start; our pricing covers strategy, setup, prompt engineering, and change management to ensure adoption and real ROI.
Can you guarantee ROI?
We help you define measurable goals (like time saved or leads generated) up front and scope the project to achieve them—though no provider can promise exact financial outcomes.
What if the project takes longer than planned?
Scope and deliverables are agreed up front. If new needs arise, we’ll discuss changes to scope and cost before proceeding.
Do you charge for the initial call?
Intro calls are free. In-depth paid assessments are included in the Strategy package.
Can you work within a set budget?
Absolutely. Let us know your range, and we’ll recommend the highest-impact services that fit.
