FAQ

Pricing questions.

Can’t find your answer? Ask us directly — a human replies within one business day.

Why do you publish prices when most agencies don’t?

Because you should know whether we’re a fit before you spend an hour on a call. Final prices depend on scope, integrations and volume, but these starting points are honest and most projects land within 1.5x of them.

What ongoing costs should I expect after launch?

Two kinds: usage costs (AI model APIs, hosting, phone minutes) usually $50–$500 per month for small and mid-sized businesses, paid directly to providers at cost; and an optional _1 care plan from $750 per month for monitoring, tuning and improvements.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Standard terms are 50% to start and 50% at launch. Larger builds are split into milestone payments tied to working software you can see.

Is there a free consultation?

Yes. The 30-minute AI audit call is free. We map your top automation opportunities and give you a ballpark price on the call.

How does _1’s pricing compare to hiring?

An AI agent that handles lead response or scheduling around the clock typically costs less than one month of a full-time New York salary to build, and a fraction of that to run each month.
