What does AI automation cost in South Africa?
There is no single price for AI automation in South Africa. We price a build after we audit one process and measure how long it takes today. A short form flow is not the same job as a document pipeline.
Why a public price list would be wrong
Two firms can both say they want automation and mean different work. One team retypes ten forms a day. Another team has a six-month content backlog. The hours, the risk, and the systems are not the same, so the price is not the same. We will not invent a rand amount to look specific.
What the audit prices
We audit your process first and measure the baseline. Then we build. Then we measure the ROI. The audit names the steps, the weekly hours, and the errors. The quote covers that scope. If the hours are small, we say the process is not worth automating.
What changes the number
Volume changes the number. So does the rule about where files can live. A public tool is a different build from a system that stays on your own stack. Reviews, write-back into an old system, and the number of document types also change the scope. We write those down before we name a price.
Frequently asked questions
Can you tell me the price before a call?
No. We need the process and the baseline. A number without that is a guess.
Do you charge for the audit?
The first audit is free. It covers one process, not a full company review.
Is a South African project priced differently from an overseas one?
The method is the same. Scope sets the price, not the city.
