Transparent pricing for AI projects

What does consulting really cost? Three example calculations and an interactive calculator — so you know what to expect.

Example calculations

Three typical AI projects

Every project is different — these non-binding example calculations show the order of magnitude. The funding rate (50% or 80%) depends on the company's location and is always a case-by-case decision by the approving authority.

Frequently asked about pricing

Are the prices binding?

No. All figures are non-binding ballparks. The actual price depends on scope, complexity, and your specific requirements. We're happy to put together a custom quote.

How does BAFA funding work?

BAFA funds management consulting for SMBs at regionally tiered rates: 50% of cost (max. 1,750 € subsidy) in the old federal states without Lüneburg and Trier regions — applies for clients in Hameln, Hannover, Hildesheim and Bielefeld too. 80% (max. 2,800 €) in the new federal states, Lüneburg region and Trier region. The funding covers consulting — not development. We check eligibility and prepare the application; formally you file it online via the BAFA platform.

What's included in the price?

Everything: consulting, development, deployment, documentation and training. No hidden licence cost — we use open-source models. Server hosting cost is billed separately if you go self-hosted.

Can I start small?

Absolutely. We recommend starting with a potential analysis and then shipping the quick wins first. That way you see results quickly and can scale deliberately.
