How Much Does an AI Employee Cost?

The individual AI employees are priced by function. The AI Front Desk (inbound calls and appointment booking) and the AI Review Manager (review requests and reputation monitoring) sit at the lower end — $119 per month each. The AI Estimating Assistant and AI Billing Clerk, which involve more complex business logic and deeper system integrations, are priced at $199 per month. The AI Purchasing Clerk and AI Follow-Up Specialist sit at $249 per month. The bundle price for all six — $799 per month — represents a meaningful discount versus individual pricing.

The one-time setup fee covers the work required before an AI employee goes live: the onboarding call to document your business rules and workflows, training data collection and preparation, system configuration, integration with your CRM, calendar, or billing platform, and end-to-end testing. Most setups complete within 48 hours of the onboarding call. The setup fee runs $299 for simpler roles and $499 for roles requiring deeper integrations.

Comparing to human staff is the relevant benchmark. A full-time administrative hire in Canada — covering calls, billing, and general admin — costs $42,000–$55,000 per year in base salary before employer payroll taxes, benefits, training time, equipment, and management overhead. The all-in cost per hire typically lands between $3,500 and $5,000 per month. The full AI Workforce of six employees at $799 per month covers the same functional scope for 80–90% less. That cost differential is sustainable because AI has no payroll taxes, no benefits, no sick days, and no turnover cost.

There are no long-term contracts. Businesses that want to test a single employee before committing to the full workforce can do so, and can add employees as they verify performance. The month-to-month structure means the decision to scale up or down sits with the business owner, not a contract renewal cycle.
