Dapols is an AI consultant sold as software for existing small businesses: answer seven questions and it maps where AI can save you time, costs the tools at your budget and lays out a 90-day plan. It is instant, costs $99 once, and a person checks the AI drafts within 24–48 working hours.
The questionnaire is free and needs no card. 7-day refund, no questions asked.
Eight parts, delivered the moment you pay. Every number in them is computed from your own answers and live tool prices; the AI writes the words around the numbers, and a person checks those drafts.
Where AI can help your business, ranked by value against effort and worked out only from what you told us. Each opportunity says what AI cannot do there.
What to set up in which order, tied to the setup checklist in your workspace, so the first win comes before the harder work.
Stack cost against the value of the hours you save, with a payback estimate. It counts time only, never promised revenue, and it is labelled as an estimate.
The exact tools at 50, 100, 200 and 500 dollars a month with live prices, plus playbooks, prompts, MCP servers and automations to set them up.
Up to five pages generated for your business, with a live preview, a hosted address, a ZIP you can take anywhere and an inbox for the leads it collects.
A printable document with your name and logo, a link you can share with staff, and an AI usage policy for your team.
A support chat grounded in your own plan that answers straight away, with a person replying to open questions within 24–48 working hours.
Log the hours AI actually saves you. When the value passes what you paid, the tracker tells you it has paid for itself.
The seven-question plan finder gives you an AI readiness score, your top three AI opportunities with an hours calculator, a starter stack for about 50 dollars a month and a score card you can share.
A monthly re-assessment with live prices and the hours you logged, a note on each major model release and what it means for your plan, and price alerts. Stop any time; the plan stays yours.
Both have a place. Here is how they differ for a small business. Prices on the human side are published figures, linked to their sources further down.

A consultant's day rate buys judgment, workshops and work inside your systems, which Dapols does not do. For the planning part of the job (which tools, what budget, what order) most small businesses need a fraction of those hours.
The hours are your own guess; the rates are the published ranges above. It compares prices, not identical services.
If that is what you need, our Custom tier is quoted and invoiced separately.
Live, dated and computed from our own records. No customer counts, no revenue.

Comparing us with Polsia? It is a different kind of product, built to run new companies autonomously. Dapols is for businesses that already exist and keeps a person on every action. Read the dated comparison.
Someone, or something, that works out where AI can help a business, which tools to use and how to set them up. Dapols does that as software: it builds an opportunity map, a 90-day roadmap and a costed stack from your answers.
No. Dapols is software that delivers instantly. A person at Dapols checks the AI drafts and replies to support questions within 24–48 working hours, but you are buying the software, not someone's time.
The questionnaire is free. The full consultant is $99, charged once. An optional $29/month subscription keeps the plan current and can be stopped at any time without losing what you have.
Human consultants usually charge by the hour or per engagement, and published rates run far above a one-time software price; the comparison table above links the sources. A person is still the better choice for workshops, complex integrations and regulated work.
No. It recommends AI tools, setups and where to put the human review step. Anything that needs a lawyer, accountant or financial adviser stays with one.
No. We never ask for passwords or log into your tools. You follow the plan and approve every action yourself.
Ask for a refund within 7 days of purchase. No questions asked.
No. The $99 purchase is complete on its own and does not renew. The $29/month option adds monthly re-assessments, model-release notes and price alerts, and you can stop it at any time.
Seven questions, about two minutes, no card. See your readiness score and top opportunities first, then decide whether the full consultant is worth $99 to you.
