Published prices, starting with twelve AI ads for $1,800.

AI content is priced in finished ads: a one-off pilot, then retainers from $3,500 a month. Automation and build work have published floors and a fixed price once the audit or scoping is done. Build work starts at $5K and most build projects run $15K to $80K.

Prices you can act on before you call

Most agencies treat price as the last thing you learn. That works for the agency and costs you three weeks. So here is the whole thing: what the first rung costs, what the typical band is above it, how long each rung takes and what you actually receive. If the floor is above your budget you will know in ten seconds rather than after a proposal.

AI content needs no estimate at all. The pilot is $1,800 for twelve ads, and every plan above it is priced per finished ad, so the number on this page is the number on the invoice. Automation and build work are different: the numbers below are floors and ranges, and each engagement gets a fixed price at the end of the audit week or the two weeks of scoping. We would rather charge for that time than guess for free and correct the guess in an invoice later.

The same prices are quoted to a two-person startup and to an insurance carrier. What moves a build price is the work, not the logo, and that list is spelled out further down the page.

the short version

  • AI content: $1,800 for a 12-ad pilot, then $3,500 to $8,000 a month, multi-market from $12,000
  • AI automation: $2,000 audit, then $4,000 to $50,000 to build
  • Software, mobile and AI builds: $5,000 scoping, then $15,000 to $150,000
  • Social media marketing: quoted after a free account review
  • Retainers monthly, 30 days notice. Builds fixed price, milestone billing, net 14.

Nothing on this page is a starting position for a negotiation. It is what we charge.

AI content

What we make

AI UGC ads, video ads, product statics and social content, priced in finished ads. A finished ad is scripted, generated, checked, cut for Meta and TikTok, captioned and tagged, not a raw clip you still have to edit. Start with the pilot, then move to a monthly plan when your buyer asks for more supply.

PlanPriceFinished adsPer adWhat it is for
Pilot batch$1,800 one-off12 ads$150 an adTen business days, no commitment. The cheapest honest way to find out if AI content works for you.

Multi-marketFrom $12,000 a month100 ads$120 an adScale output plus one localised market. Each further market $4,000 a month.

included in every plan

  • Scripts and hooks written against the ads already winning in your account
  • 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 cuts with captions burned in, plus clean masters
  • Frame-by-frame QC for hands, text and continuity
  • Files named and tagged by hook, format and offer for your ad manager
  • Source projects and the hook library, owned by you outright

Retainers are monthly with thirty days’ notice, no annual contract and no setup fee. The cost per ad falls as volume rises because the hook library and the presenter set are built once and reused. Each further market on top of Multi-market is $4,000 a month. The formats, and how a batch gets made, are on the AI content page.

The honest bit. The pilot is deliberately small so that a no is cheap. If twelve ads do not beat your control on cost per acquisition within 30 days of testing, stop there. You keep the ads and the hook library either way, and we will tell you plainly whether more volume is likely to change the answer or whether the problem is the offer rather than the creative.

AI automation

Automation is priced off measured hours, not off a tool licence. The audit counts the hours first so the pilot can be quoted against a number you already believe.

Audit

$2,000
refunded against a pilot
Flat fee, one workflow area1 week
  • Every step mapped with its owner and its duration
  • Hours per month counted from your own timesheets
  • A ranked list of what to automate and what to leave
  • Tool recommendation: n8n, Make, Zapier or code
  • A fixed price for the pilot

Who it is for. Operations leads who suspect a process is expensive but cannot yet prove it in hours, and need the map before the build.

  • A run log you can read without asking us
  • Handover, documentation and 30 days of support

Who it is for. Teams with one clearly painful process, such as invoice matching, lead routing or onboarding paperwork, that runs often enough to pay back inside a year.

Regulated data, on-premise, or wall-to-wall rebuildsQuoted per phase
  • Self-hosted or air-gapped deployments
  • Regulated data flows with audit trails
  • Migration off an incumbent automation vendor
  • Integration with systems that have no public API
  • Phased pricing tied to measured hours saved

Who it is for. Operations where the constraint is compliance or legacy systems rather than the workflow logic itself.

Start with the audit

The honest bit. The $2,000 audit is refunded against the pilot if you go ahead. If the week shows the workflow should not be automated, because the volume is too low, the rules change every month, or the real problem is upstream in how the data arrives, the report says so and recommends what to do instead. You keep the process map either way.

Software, mobile and AI builds

Four rungs from a two-week scoping engagement to a standing team, for web products, mobile apps and AI agents. A narrow single-workflow AI MVP starts at $15,000.

Scoping

$5,000

Flat fee, no range2 weeks
  • Two weeks with a product lead and an engineer
  • Architecture, data model and integration map
  • A build plan broken into two-week slices
  • A fixed price for the build, valid 60 days
  • A written recommendation, including do not build it

Who it is for. You know the problem, not the shape of the solution, and you need a number your board will accept before anyone writes code.

  • One working path through the product, in your stack
  • Real data, real authentication, real integrations
  • Product and interface design, not wireframes
  • An evaluation set if there is a model in the loop
  • Weekly demos of the running thing

Who it is for. Teams testing whether an AI feature or a new product is worth funding, and who need something a customer can use rather than a deck about it.

  • The full product, hardened and monitored
  • Evaluation suite, logging and rollback
  • Security review inside your own cloud account
  • Documentation, training and 30 days of support
  • Handover of repository, infrastructure and evals

Who it is for. Companies putting a web or mobile product in front of customers or staff who depend on it, where downtime and wrong answers both have a cost.

Software development

Ongoing team

$12,000

  • A named team, not a rotating bench
  • A roadmap you set, re-cut every two weeks
  • Model and dependency upgrades as they land
  • On-call for the systems we built
  • Monthly written report on what changed and why

Who it is for. Clients who have shipped with us and want the same people to keep building, without running a permanent hiring process.

Talk about a team

Multi-team programmes, regulated environmentsQuoted per phase
  • Several parallel workstreams under one plan
  • Procurement, vendor review and security questionnaires
  • Data residency and audit requirements
  • Migration from an incumbent supplier
  • Fixed price per phase rather than per project

Who it is for. Programmes above $150,000, or anything where legal, security and procurement have to sign before engineering starts.

Start with scoping

The honest bit. Scoping is $5,000 and it is credited against the build if you go ahead within 60 days. If the two weeks show that the build is not worth doing, because the volume is too low, an off-the-shelf tool already covers it, or the data is not there yet, that is what the report says, and $5,000 is the entire cost of finding out.

Social media marketing

Quoted after a free account review, not published yet. It costs less when it is added to an AI content retainer, because the content is already being made.

The work depends on how many channels you run, how often you post and whether paid social is part of it, so a number before the review would be a guess. The review is free, and the quote follows it.

What changes a build price

AI content is the simple case: the price is the tier, and it moves only with the number of finished ads and the number of markets. Automation and build work are not like that. Two companies asking for the same feature can be a month apart in effort, and the difference is almost never the feature. It is the state of everything around it: whether the process exists on paper, whether the systems have APIs, whether the data is one record or four half-records, and how wrong the output is allowed to be.

The audit or scoping exists to find out which side of each of these rows you are on. That is why the fixed price arrives at the end of it rather than on the first call. A quote given before anyone has looked at your data is a guess wearing a number, and the correction always lands in your invoice, not ours.

The one thing that does not change the price is who is asking. There is no enterprise multiplier here. A carrier pays more than a startup only when the work is genuinely bigger.

Working to a tighter budget?

The floors above are the lowest price at which this work is still worth buying from us. If your budget sits under them, the pages below say plainly what you get at the floor, what you do not get, and when a tool, a freelancer or an in-house hire is the better trade. None of them claim to be the cheapest option available.

  • Affordable AI UGC ads: what the $1,800 pilot buys and what it leaves out
  • Affordable AI video ads: 20 finished ads a month from $3,500
  • Affordable AI automation: audits from $2,000, pilots from $4,000
  • Affordable software development: what a $15,000 build covers, and where it stops

Questions about price

The AI content pilot: twelve finished ads for $1,800, one product and one market, delivered in ten business days with no commitment. On the automation side the smallest engagement is the $2,000 audit, one week and one workflow area. Below those we are not the right supplier and will say so on the call. A single Zapier connection is a job for a freelancer, and paying agency rates for it is a bad trade.

Want the number for your project?

AI content is priced by the tier, so the call is mostly about fit. For automation and builds you get a rough range on the call and a fixed price after the audit or scoping. Alex Novak, delivery director, replies within one business day.
