Enterprise AI Transformation Pricing: What You Should Actually Pay
No one talks transparently about enterprise AI pricing. We will. Here's what different levels of AI transformation actually cost and why.
The enterprise AI market has a pricing transparency problem. Vendors hide pricing behind 'contact us', and buyers have no benchmark.
Market Pricing Tiers
Tier 1: Chatbot/Automation Vendors ($5K-$25K)
Zapier-adjacent tools with AI labels. If someone quotes you under £25K for enterprise AI transformation, you're buying automation with an AI sticker.
Tier 2: Mid-Market AI Agencies ($25K-$80K)
Can build capable single-system deployments. Limited ongoing support. Variable quality.
Tier 3: Enterprise AI Consultancies ($80K-$500K+)
Full-stack AI transformation: architecture, development, integration, change management, and ongoing optimization.
Our Pricing
We sit firmly in Tier 3:
- •AI Transformation Program: From £65,000 / 12 weeks
- •Managed AI Operations: From £80,000/year
- •Enterprise Programs: £200,000+ custom
Why It Costs This Much
Enterprise AI transformation requires:
- •Solutions architects who understand your industry
- •AI engineers who can build production-grade systems
- •Integration specialists for your existing stack
- •Change management expertise
- •Ongoing monitoring and optimization
The alternative is buying cheap and rebuilding in 12 months. We've inherited dozens of failed cheap AI projects. None of the clients regretted paying more the second time.
