What does an AI consultant cost? How the price is set
The price of an AI consultant depends on the task, the data and how much needs to be built. With us it starts with a Shadow Walk at a fixed price: DKK 25,000 (NOK 35,000).
Short answer
The price of help from an AI consultant depends on what needs to be solved: advice, a prototype or a solution in production. Many consultants charge by the hour. At Black Capital Technology we work at a fixed price, and the first step is typically a Shadow Walk for DKK 25,000 (NOK 35,000 in Norway).
What affects the price?
- The size of the task: Do you need a plan, a prototype or a finished solution in production?
- Your data: Is the data in one place and in good shape, or does it first need to be pulled from several systems?
- Number of systems: Does AI need to connect to ERP, CRM, email or specialist systems?
- Security and personal data requirements: Sensitive data requires more care.
- Operations afterwards: Who looks after the solution once it is in use?
Hourly rate or fixed price?
With an hourly rate you pay for the time spent – even if the task grows. With a fixed price you agree in advance what will be delivered and what it costs. A fixed price requires the task to be well described. That is why we start by understanding the work before we price the build.
How it starts with us
- Shadow Walk – DKK 25,000: We follow the work for ½–2 days and give you a report with a concrete plan about a week later.
- Fixed price on the first solution: Based on the plan, you get a fixed price for what should be built first.
- Operations and improvement: Once the solution is in use, we agree how it is maintained and improved.
Frequently asked questions
Why not just an hourly rate?
Because you need to be able to budget. With a fixed price, we take the risk if the task takes longer than agreed.
Can Danish public sector customers buy through SKI?
Yes. We are an approved supplier on SKI 02.06 and 02.14. See the SKI agreement (in Danish).
What if we do not know what to use AI for?
Then a Shadow Walk is the right place to start.
In short
The price of an AI consultant depends on the task. Start by finding out where AI creates value – at a fixed price – and then get a fixed price for what needs to be built.
