What does AI implementation cost? After six days you know exactly.
Having an AI application built starts at AI Heroes with a six‑day start sprint, from €8,000. A build starts from €15,000 and for large systems runs to well over €100,000. After the start sprint you know what your application will cost.
What you pay
The same amounts as everywhere on this site.
-
Start sprint: from €8,000
Six days, fixed price, for every way in. Starts within two weeks of the first call.
-
Build: from €15,000
Usually two to twelve weeks, in two‑week sprints with a demo after every sprint.
-
Large systems: to well over €100,000
With many connections, migrations or several applications at once.
-
After that: maintenance and development
Hosting, model usage, maintenance and further development. What that costs is in your business case.
-
Training: from €2,500 per half day
Bookable separately for your team. In a build, training on the system is included. See AI training.
Where the costs are
What an application costs depends on a few things. After delivery too.
-
Connections
How many systems are involved, and whether they have a good API.
-
Data
How clean your data is and how much needs moving over.
-
Hosting
European cloud or your own servers, and how many users there are.
-
Model usage
How many questions or documents the AI model handles each month.
-
Maintenance and development
What comes after delivery: upkeep, updates and new wishes.
-
Training
How many people will work with it, and where.
How you know for certain what it costs
That is what the start sprint is for: in six days we build a prototype or build plan and work out what the full version costs and returns.
- from question to result
- 6 days
- fixed price, for every way in
- €8,000
- from the first call to the start
- 2 weeks
After six days you have
The business case on one page: what your application costs, what it returns and when it pays for itself. If it does not add up, we do not build.
How the start sprint works Then we build in two‑week sprints, from €15,000.
Case · Kwakkel BV
From question to working prototype in six days
Kwakkel BV wanted to see whether the manual administrative work could go, and did not want to read it in a report. Within six days a prototype was running on their own records, with the business case on one page.
- days from question to working prototype
- 6
After six days, Kwakkel knows what the full version costs and returns, and decides when the build starts.

-
Business case first
Before we build, you know what it costs, what it returns and when it pays for itself.
-
Compliance by design
AI Act classification, logging, human oversight and European hosting are part of the design.
-
Your people can work with it
We train the team that will use the system on the system itself. That also covers Article 4 of the AI Act.
-
Not tied to one AI vendor
You can switch AI models without rebuilding. Everything comes with documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Why no fixed price for the build?
Because every application is different. The start sprint works out what yours costs; after that the amount is in the business case.
What are the running costs after the build?
Hosting, model usage, maintenance and further development. What drives them is explained on this page; the amounts for your situation are in your business case.
Isn't a SaaS tool cheaper?
Sometimes. Sometimes you pay year after year for a package you only partly use; see replacing a SaaS package. In the start sprint we work out both.
What if the business case does not add up?
Then we do not build. You keep the prototype or plan and the business case.
Do I get the start sprint fee back if the build does not go ahead?
No. You pay for six days of work and keep the prototype or plan and the business case.
