Agentic vs traditional development
AI agents reduce development costs by automating repetitive implementation work.
| Project Type | Traditional | Agentic | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple automation workflow | $15-30K | $2-5K | 70-85% |
| Content production pipeline | $25-50K | $5-10K | 60-80% |
| Customer support system | $40-80K | $8-15K | 70-80% |
| Ongoing maintenance (monthly) | $5-15K | $2-5K | 50-70% |

FAQ
Pricing questions
Why is agentic development cheaper than traditional development?
AI agents handle much of the repetitive work that would otherwise require developer hours. This means faster delivery, fewer billable hours, and more consistent output. You pay for the system design and orchestration, not for manual labour.
What is included in a sprint engagement?
A sprint includes discovery, agent design, development, testing, deployment, and documentation. You get working production agents, not prototypes. Sprints are scoped to deliver a specific outcome within 1-2 weeks.
Can I start with a sprint and upgrade later?
Absolutely. Many clients start with a sprint to validate the approach, then expand to a full build. Sprint work is always designed to be extensible.
What does the ongoing plan include?
Monthly retainer covers performance monitoring, prompt optimisation, model updates, bug fixes, new capability development, and regular strategy reviews. Hours vary by tier but typically 10-25 hours per month.
Do you offer fixed-price or hourly billing?
All engagements are fixed-price scoped after discovery. You know exactly what you are paying before work begins. No surprise invoices.
What if the project scope changes?
Scope changes are handled transparently. We discuss the impact on timeline and cost, agree on adjustments, and proceed. No hidden fees or unclear change orders.
