How to think about automation cost
The right question isn't "what does automation cost" — it's "what does not automating cost". Automation projects are priced by complexity, and complexity follows the task:
- Rules-based workflows: cheap and reliable for fully predictable steps
- AI workflows: justified where language or judgment is involved
- Integrations: every system your automation must touch adds real scope
- Run-rate: tokens, API usage, and maintenance keep recurring after launch
What you walk away with
An estimated budget for automating your process, the expected savings it would return, and a recommendation on where AI is genuinely worth it versus simple automation — free, with no obligation.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends heavily on the process. Rules-based automation of a single repeatable task can run from AED 10,000–30,000, while an AI automation that handles language, judgment, or multiple systems typically starts around AED 30,000–80,000+. The estimate is tailored to your workflow.
The most repetitive, highest-volume, well-defined tasks — data entry, follow-ups, reporting, document handling. They deliver the fastest payback because the hours saved are real and immediate. The assessment helps you rank them.
If the task is fully predictable, rules-based automation wins on cost and reliability. If it involves language, unstructured input, or judgment, AI is the right tool. Most businesses need a mix, and the estimate is based on what your process actually needs.
Work out the weekly hours the task absorbs and multiply by your team's effective hourly cost. Most well-scoped automations pay back within months of that simple calculation — and the estimate shows the expected saving alongside the cost.
Yes. It's a genuine estimate designed to help you plan a realistic budget — you're free to build it yourself, use another vendor, or not proceed at all.
