Shadyy AI Pricing: What Determines a Custom Quote
Custom AI work needs a defined scope before a price is meaningful. Use this guide to prepare a quote request and compare the full cost of implementation and ongoing operation.
Separate implementation from operation
Ask the proposal to distinguish discovery, development, integration work and testing from recurring hosting, model usage, maintenance and support. Confirm which charges are included, optional or payable to another provider. This page does not publish a standard subscription price or imply that every engagement uses the same charging model.
Explain the factors that affect scope
Record monthly event volume, the number of systems involved, the quality of existing data and the complexity of approval rules. A workflow that prepares a draft differs from one that changes several systems. Permissions, rollback requirements and exception handling can materially affect the work needed.
Compare proposals on equivalent outcomes
Give each provider the same acceptance criteria and ask who owns documentation, updates and incident handling. Review the cost of internal staff time as well as supplier charges. If an existing feature in your current software meets the requirement, include that option in the comparison.
A practical starting checklist
- Define the trigger and expected output.
- List systems, volumes and data preparation needs.
- Specify review, support and maintenance expectations.
- Request itemised inclusions, exclusions and change arrangements.
Illustrative example
Two fictional teams request a follow-up assistant. One needs draft preparation only; the other needs approved updates across multiple systems. Their quotes should reflect different scopes rather than an assumed per-employee price.
This example is hypothetical, not a customer result or a tested product demonstration.
What to confirm before proceeding
No fixed price, savings percentage or payback period is promised here. Actual costs and commercial terms require an agreed proposal.
