What AI and custom software cost a Swiss SME.
What Swiss agencies and freelancers charge, what determines the price, what running the software costs afterwards, and how to tell whether a project is worth its price.
Every project has a fixed price. It is at most a third of what the project saves or earns in its first year.
CHF 2,500 fixed
If I build it afterwards, the fee comes off the price.
from CHF 5,000
Most cost CHF 10,000 to 50,000.
A platform with accounts, roles and payments can cost more.
Free. We talk for 30 minutes, and within 48 hours you get a proposal with approach, timeline and price.
You get a fixed price for a defined result. If the work takes me longer, you pay the same.
The proposal states what the project should save or earn in its first year, in hours and francs, and lists the assumptions so you can check them. The price is at most a third of that amount.
If a third of that amount does not cover the work, I advise against building it.
Every project price includes testing, launch, documentation and 30 days of support. After that I run the system for you on fixed days each month, or hand it over to your team.
The fixed price covers what the proposal describes. If you want something added, you get a price for that addition before I start on it.
The assessment is paid in advance. A project is paid in milestones, and the first payment is due before work starts.
After launch you pay three costs directly to the providers, on your company's own accounts, so you see what each one costs.
