Pricing quick answer

Our pricing philosophy

Four principles applied to every commercial proposal. They are not marketing claims — each one is reflected in concrete contract clauses and in how we work with the client.

  1. Market reference, private proposal: We share the structure and shape of typical engagements (assessment, audit, pilot, production, retainer) and use market reference 2026 ranges where useful. Final budgets are always closed in a private proposal after the free diagnostic — never as a public price list.
  2. Premium dedicated, not low-cost: We don't compete with low-cost "AI agency" offers. A serious consultancy with guardrails, HITL and AI Act compliance has a minimum cost below which production delivery is not viable. Premium without expensive-for-the-sake-of-it.
  3. Scope-based, no open hourly bags: Every project closes with a defined scope, milestones, acceptance criteria and a fixed price. No padded hourly billing. IaaS/AaaS retainers have a monthly scope agreed upfront.
  4. Client ownership — zero vendor lock-in: Code, prompts, n8n / LangGraph workflows, technical documentation and credentials are transferred to the client. If one day we stop working together, you keep everything.

What the price includes

Five fixed deliverables on every project — no asterisks. If a vendor omits any of these, the price will have surprises at the end.

What the price does NOT include

Transparency about separate costs. These items are not marked up — they go directly from provider to client.

Process to receive a real quote

Four sequential steps from "I have an idea" to contract with fixed price and timeline. Each step has a closed deliverable — if you stop midway, you keep the work done.

  1. 1

    Free 48h AI assessment

    You book a diagnosis through the online booking widget. We respond within 48 hours with an initial validation of whether the case has reasonable ROI or not. Free and with no commercial commitment — if it doesn't fit, we'll tell you without selling smoke.

  2. 2

    Scoping diagnosis (1-2 weeks)

    If there's clear ROI, we open a paid diagnosis (market reference 2026) with stakeholder interviews, review of available data, preliminary architecture and technical plan. Deliverable: document with scope, risks and recommendation.

  3. 3

    Fixed-price formal proposal

    With the diagnosis closed, we deliver a commercial proposal with closed scope, measurable milestones, fixed price and timeline. No open hourly bag — the price doesn't change except for a change-request agreed in writing.

  4. 4

    Contract + kick-off

    We sign the contract with client-ownership and zero vendor-lock clauses. Kick-off happens within one week of signing. From there we work in 2-week sprints with closed demos at each milestone.

FAQ about pricing

Frequently asked questions about pricing

What is the lowest budget I can start with?
The 48-hour initial assessment is always free. The first real investment is a market-reference MVP pilot or a one-time operational audit. We don't operate below the threshold required to ship a serious solution — the scope is not viable in production with guardrails, HITL and AI Act compliance by design. Final figures are closed in private proposal after the diagnostic.
Do you charge fixed price or open hourly bags?
Always scope-based with fixed price agreed after the diagnosis. Never open hourly bags with padding. IaaS and AaaS retainers are monthly with an agreed scope (number of workflows maintained, response SLA, hours of evolution per month). If scope changes mid-project, we open a written change-request.
Can I pay a large project monthly?
Yes. The standard for production projects is 3 tranches: 40% kick-off, 30% pilot validation, 30% production delivery. For long projects (IaaS 3+ months, medical vertical 16+ weeks) we adjust to monthly milestones aligned with delivery. Single upfront payment has a 10% discount. Retainers are billed monthly in arrears or annually with one free month.
What if the scope changes mid-project?
We open a written change-request with delta of price and timelines before executing. If the deviation is our responsibility (bad initial estimate, bug in the diagnosis, architecture that doesn't hold), we absorb it at no extra cost. If it's a new request outside the original scope, it's quoted separately with a formal proposal.
Do you refund if the pilot doesn't meet objectives?
No refund, but we stop there without escalating to production. The MVP pilot is designed precisely to validate hypotheses with low commitment. If metrics don't meet the threshold agreed at diagnosis (hit rate, volume processed, response time), we stop and you don't pay the next tranches. The pilot already executed is not refunded — it's delivered work with real data that serves you as a closed diagnosis even if you decide not to continue.
How do your prices compare with other AI agencies in Spain?
We are a dedicated technical shop with a modern stack (Claude, LangGraph, MCP, n8n) and AI Act compliance by design. There are cheaper agencies with no-code template-based automations that work for standard cases but don't scale well nor meet high-risk compliance. There are more expensive big-4 consultancies with heavy methodology and 6+ month timelines without intermediate value. We sit in the dedicated mid-market range with deliverables every 2-4 weeks and full client ownership. Market reference 2026 — final budget closed in private proposal.
