How much does AI consulting cost?

Five8Five offers AI consulting packages starting at $500 for an AI Readiness Review, $2,500 for the GTM AI Starter, and $5,000 for a full AI Launch. Monthly retainers start at $1,500/month. All packages have flat-rate, transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

How long does AI implementation take?

The AI Readiness Review takes about one week. The GTM AI Starter and AI Launch packages typically take 2–6 weeks depending on complexity. We move fast — most clients have a working AI system within 30 days of starting.

What AI tools and models do you work with?

We work with the full Claude ecosystem — Claude for everyday AI, Claude Desktop for team workflows, and Claude Code for advanced automation and custom integrations — as well as Gemini (Google) and GPT-4o (OpenAI). We recommend the right tool for each use case.

Do you offer ongoing support after implementation?

Yes. Our monthly retainer plans (starting at $1,500/month) include ongoing agent configuration, proactive optimization, and priority support. Retainers are billed monthly and can be cancelled with 30 days notice.

Common questions

Do I need to start with the Review?

Not necessarily. If you already know what you want to build, we can jump straight to GTM Starter or AI Launch. The Review is for teams who want clarity before committing to implementation.

What AI models do you work with?

We primarily use Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), and GPT-4o (OpenAI). We recommend the right model based on your use case — not just the trendy one.

What does "agent configuration" mean in the retainer?

It means updating prompts, adjusting workflows, connecting new data sources, or deploying new automations — whatever keeps your AI performing well as your business evolves.

How does billing work?

One-time packages are invoiced upfront (net-15). Retainers are billed monthly via invoice or Stripe — your choice.
