Fixed-scope. Fixed-price. No discovery tax.

Most AIScout projects
ship for $1,500–$5,000

Traditional AI consulting starts at $50K. Upwork freelancers bill $150/hr — with no vertical expertise. AIScout specialists quote a single fixed price and build it.

Why cheaper? Vetted specialists who already know your tools — Dentrix, ServiceTitan, Clio — mean no discovery tax. Vertical focus = no learning curve billed to you.

How pricing actually works

From "I have no idea what I need" to a fixed quote in under 48 hours. Four steps, zero surprises.

1
Assessment surfaces scope

5 minutes. Our free assessment identifies your highest-ROI AI opportunity based on your industry, team size, and biggest pain point.

2
Matched expert quotes in 48h

We match you with a vetted specialist who already knows your tools. They send a single fixed-price quote — no hourly estimates, no "it depends."

3
50% deposit, 50% on delivery

Half up front to start, half when the project is live. If scope needs to change, any additions are quoted separately before work begins.

4
Fixed scope, no surprise invoices

The price you see is the price you pay. Specialist doesn't get paid the remaining 50% until you confirm delivery. Simple handshake accountability.

Fixed scope. No scope creep. No hidden markup.

The expert quotes one number. That's what you pay. AIScout's 15% matching fee is already included in their quote — you won't see a separate platform charge on your invoice.

Not sure where to start?
The assessment tells you.

8 questions. Instant ROI estimate. A fixed quote from a matched specialist within 48 hours. Completely free.
