ZAIQ pricing is on application. We work as the AI partner to established South African businesses, so every engagement is scoped and priced to the business and the outcome. There is no rate card, and we don't take small one-off jobs.
The short version
ZAIQ is priced on application. As your AI partner we find where AI pays in the business, build the systems, and run and improve them. After a free scoping conversation you get a written proposal with the price, before any work starts.
AI partnership
POA
We become your AI team: we find where AI pays across the business, build the systems, run them and keep improving them, for one monthly figure with what is included written down.
A defined system
POA
A system that runs a real part of your operation end to end, across your tools, with the approval steps and reporting it needs. Priced against a written scope before work starts.
Outcome-linked fees
POA
Where a system drives revenue directly, part of our fee can be tied to the sales or bookings it records. The terms are set per engagement.
Run and improve
POA
After a defined system goes live, keep us on to run, monitor and extend it, with the response time written down.
Every engagement is priced on application, after a free scoping conversation. There is no rate card.
Established businesses where AI can move real money: sales, service, operations and data at volume. We work best where the AI has to fit into how the business already runs, across several systems and teams.
If the job is a single chatbot, a website or a quick automation, we are not the right fit, and we will say so.
When we price an engagement, the number moves on a handful of things. We tell you which ones apply so the price is never a black box.
The path from a first conversation to a priced proposal is short and costs you nothing until you accept it.
A conversation about the business
A call or a WhatsApp thread, whichever suits you. You speak to the engineers who will build it, and we learn how the business runs and where it wants to go.
We map where AI pays
The processes, the systems and the data, and which changes would move revenue or cost the most.
A written proposal with the price
What we would build and run, what is genuinely possible and what is not, the price, any running costs and how the fee is set.
We build, run and improve it
On a yes we ship to production. Then you take the keys, or keep us on as your AI partner.
The code and the accounts are yours either way, so if you keep us on it is because it is worth it, not because leaving is hard.

Because we work as an AI partner, not a shop of fixed packages. What it takes depends on the business: its volumes, the systems it runs, the state of its data and how much we run for you after launch. A published number would be wrong for almost everyone.
No. We don't take small one-off jobs such as a single chatbot, a website or a quick automation. We work with established businesses as their AI partner, on systems that move real money.
Yes, where a system drives revenue directly. Part of our fee can be tied to the sales or bookings the system itself records. The terms are set per engagement and written into the proposal.
No. A defined system is priced against a written scope. A partnership is a set monthly figure with what is included and how fast we respond written down.
Yes. We learn the business, agree the outcomes and send a written proposal at no charge. You only pay once you accept it.
Yes, the model usage and hosting the systems actually consume, billed to your own accounts. They are set out in the proposal.
Yes. The code, the accounts and the data are yours. If you keep us on as your AI partner it is because it is worth it, not because leaving is hard.
