Navigating the costs of Artificial Intelligence development can be complex. At Associative, we believe that understanding AI consulting rates requires a clear view of the technology stack, the expertise involved, and the engagement model. As a premier software development firm based in Pune, Maharashtra, India, we offer a transparent approach to pricing that aligns with the dynamic nature of AI innovation.
Understanding Our Engagement Model and Rates
Unlike traditional agencies that offer rigid, fixed-bid contracts which often inflate AI consulting rates to cover risk, Associative operates strictly on a Time-and-Materials (T&M) basis. This ensures you only pay for the work actually performed by our dedicated innovators and IT professionals.
How We Structure Our Work:
-
Flexible Engagement: We offer variable engagement models ranging from a minimum of 3 hours to a maximum of 9 hours per day, catering to your specific project velocity.
-
Transparent Billing: Invoices are submitted daily, weekly, or on a milestone basis, ensuring you have complete visibility into costs.
-
No Fixed Bids: Due to the complex and dynamic nature of custom software and AI development, we do not provide fixed-bid or fixed-timeline contracts. Instead, we work as an extension of your team.
-
Project Estimates: For complex custom software and AI initiatives, general time estimates often start at a minimum of 1,000 hours based on our extensive experience.
