Aiployee
Pricing

Transparent pricing.
Two components. No surprises.

A once-off setup to build your agent, and a single monthly fee that covers the shared usage pool across every agent you deploy. The same model whether you run one agent or five.

How it works

Build cost vs. running cost. Separated, not bundled.

Aiployee pricing has two components. You pay a once-off setup fee per agent, then a single monthly fee based on call hours consumed across your whole agent estate.

All your agents share that monthly pool. So deploying three agents doesn't mean paying three separate monthly fees. The shared pool is where most clients see real saving compared to the old per-agent retainer model.

Component 01

Setup Fee

A once-off cost to build your agent.

Covers configuration, prompt engineering, integrations and testing. Tier depends on the complexity of what we're building.

BasicR5 000 – R8 000Standard call flow, built-in database, no external integrations, single use case.
IntermediateR10 000 – R15 000CRM/calendar integrations, moderate complexity, up to 2–3 connected systems.
AdvancedR18 000 – R30 000+Custom API integrations, complex multi-step flows, custom logic. Scoped individually.
Component 02

Monthly Fee

A shared monthly pool across every agent you deploy.

One commitment for your whole agent estate, billed on call hours. Three agents share the same monthly pool as one. That's the saving, and it includes platform monitoring, prompt tuning, your account manager and the monthly performance report.

Shared pool

Every agent you deploy runs off the same monthly pool. No per-agent retainer.

vs. a human receptionist

Same job. Different economics.

A receptionist is brilliant at one call at a time. An Aiployee agent is brilliant at every call, every hour. And never resigns.

A full-time receptionist in South Africa costs R8 000 to R15 000 per month in salary alone, plus UIF, leave, sick days, and they can only take one call at a time. An Aiployee agent starts from R15 000/month all-in, handles unlimited simultaneous calls, works 24/7, and never calls in sick.
