Clear pricing for real implementation.

Setup covers mapping, design, build and go-live. The monthly fee covers monitoring, edge-case handling and continuous optimization. Hosting and AI usage sit outside it: we pass those through at cost, so you see what the infrastructure and the models actually charge.

Check these against your own payroll. The left column uses Dutch employer contributions and public averages for recruitment and onboarding, your numbers will differ, and the comparison is worth redoing with them. Core, for a larger operation, comes to €25,500 in year one.

We are not claiming one replaces the other. A digital employee does not answer the phone, walk the floor or think of something nobody asked for. What it does do is run one workflow every working day, and this is what that costs. It is not built to replace the people you have, but to take the repeatable work off their desks, so the team you already have can spend its hours on the work that grows the company. The middle column prices the hours, not the licences: three hours a week at €75 is €11,700 a year. Loose tools are cheap to buy and expensive to run, because you stay the operator.

what the monthly fee runs

You don't buy a project. You keep a workforce running.

The setup builds your digital employee. The monthly fee keeps it live: monitoring, edge-case handling and continuous tuning, all visible in one dashboard, so you always see what it did and what's waiting on you.

perspective

Compared with the alternatives.

A digital employee isn't a replacement for your team, it's operational leverage. Here's how the economics compare with the two paths companies usually consider.

vs. hiringIt never calls in sick, quits or forgets.

Capacity stops depending on availability, the workflow runs every day, documented, and no knowledge walks out the door.

vs. loose AI toolsIt executes end-to-end. Tools only assist.

ChatGPT waits for prompts. A digital employee reads, decides, acts and reports inside your systems, owned, monitored, accountable.

vs. doing nothingEvery month costs the hours you didn't get back.

We take a baseline before we build, so after three months you can check it yourself in your dashboard: hours back, response time, work handled. Not a number we promise up front, but one you can verify.

Honest note: for work that requires deep judgment, relationships or creativity, hire the human. Digital employees exist to give that human their hours back.

cost questions

What people ask about pricing.

What does the setup fee actually cover?+

The full implementation: AI Scan follow-up, workflow mapping, digital employee design, build, integration with your tools, testing against historical cases, control-layer configuration and supervised go-live. You approve the design before we build.

What's in the monthly fee?+

Monitoring, edge-case handling, small workflow improvements, model updates and a monthly performance report. It's what keeps the employee reliable rather than a one-off project that degrades. Hosting and AI usage are not part of it, those are billed separately, at cost.

Are there usage costs on top?+

Yes, two, and we would rather name them than bury them. Hosting is €10 per digital employee per month. AI usage depends on how much work the employee actually does. We run our digital employees exclusively on models from Anthropic and OpenAI, because that is where the reliability is, so you can look up what those cost yourself: Anthropic's prices and OpenAI's prices. Both are passed through at cost, without margin. During workflow mapping we estimate the monthly range from your volume, so you know the order of magnitude before you commit.

What if it doesn't deliver?+

Success metrics are defined before we build, and the pilot exists precisely to validate them. If the workflow turns out not to be a good automation candidate during mapping, we tell you before you've committed to the build.

Is there a minimum contract?+

Six months, and we mean that the way you would mean it with a new hire: it is the trial period. Those six months include our monitoring, we watch what the employee does, handle the edge cases and keep tuning it. After six months you pick one of three. Extend for another six months and keep the monitoring, plus priority support. Scale down to a low-tier licence: the employee keeps running and you keep access to the platform and to us for questions, but we stop actively monitoring. Or stop, at no cost, and we switch the employees off. You can let them go, exactly as you could someone who turned out not to fit. Nothing about the setup locks you in technically either, your data and tools remain yours.

Can we expand later?+

That's the intended path: most companies start with a Pilot, prove one workflow, and expand into Core or Scale from there. Each next employee builds on the mapping and control layer already in place.
