Pricing

Every engagement is scoped to what you actually need.

We don't sell tokens, we sell solutions that benefit you. But needs differ - here is what drives the cost and what a first engagement looks like.

What drives cost

Four things shape the price.

Team size and usage

How many people use the system and how heavily. This mostly decides how much compute you need, not what you pay us.

Self-hosted or managed

Your team can run the system after handover, or we can keep maintaining it on your infrastructure under an ongoing support agreement.

Complexity of the build

The number of data sources, integrations and agent workflows involved. A single knowledge assistant is a smaller job than agents wired into five internal systems.

Compute needs

Open-weight models can run many places; on hardware you own, compute you rent, or in cloud environments. Owning your AI makes this a business case you have choice in.

A typical first engagement

You know the price of each step before it starts.
