An "AI employee" here is a tool-stack plan + a step-by-step playbook, with an optional $29/month subscription that keeps it current. Not an autonomous agent — a plan you run, with real verified prices. It does the repetitive work; you keep the judgment.
Compare the yearly cost of a hire against the AI tool stack that does the repetitive work.
This stack includes usage-based pricing, so the exact monthly cost depends on volume — see the live prices below.
This compares cost only, and deliberately understates hiring (it excludes recruiting, onboarding, equipment, software, and management overhead). An AI stack does specific tasks with your oversight — it doesn't replace judgment, relationships, or accountability. The plan is a one-time cost added to year one.

The tool prices on this page are paid to those vendors, monthly, for as long as you use them. This is the separate — and much smaller — cost of the plan that works out which of them you actually need and wires them together.

No — and we won't pretend they are. Each "AI employee" is a curated stack of AI tools plus a playbook that does the repetitive work of a role. You direct it and review the output. The honesty is the point: it's powerful and cheap, but it's a tool, not a person.
The tools in each role's stack are shown with live, verified prices — most roles run from about $50 to $200 a month, paid to those vendors. The plan that packages the setup, prompts, and automations is one payment that does not renew; the current figure is on the pricing page. Keeping the plan current afterwards is optional and never automatic.
For the repetitive part of a role, usually yes — often by a wide margin. Our calculator compares the tool stack cost against real published salary benchmarks, and it deliberately understates the hiring cost (it excludes recruiting, onboarding, and overhead). It compares cost only — a human still brings judgment a tool can't.
You stay in the loop. Every role page lists exactly what that AI stack can't be trusted to do on its own — and the workflow keeps you reviewing anything that matters before it ships.
For a bounded workflow the plan itself is usually enough: it names the systems, approvals, exclusions, and what good looks like. If the scope needs a person inside your systems, describe it on the contact page — work that size is quoted individually, not listed.
