Three models · Version 7 · October 2026

AI app development pricing: pick the model that fits your target and your time.

Three ways to build your App on AI DevPilot, from $0 to $4,000 a month: we build it with you, you build it yourself, or you partner with us to build and sell apps, splitting the revenue 50/50. Every App starts from the SaaS Template's enterprise modules, included at no extra cost. You sign up for AI and infrastructure in your own name, around $300 a month, and pay those providers directly. Every model is a one-month minimum: by the end of it you'll have signed off real features, and you decide from there. Figures are in AUD, + GST where applicable.

Model 1: Hire AI DevPilot + Consulting (Consulting)

How the Consulting model works, step by step

Price and scope

Monthly price: $4,000 a month, minimum one month, including feature delivery and two 30-minute consulting sessions a week.
AI and infra: You sign up for AI + Infra around $300 a month: AI around $230 (a Claude Team seat for our consultant, plus the Claude API) and infra around $70 (Supabase and a DigitalOcean Droplet). Claude plans are per person, so our consultant works on a Team seat in your account, never on someone else's personal plan. These accounts are in your name and you pay the providers directly; they are not part of the AI DevPilot price.
Production running costs: Your live App's hosting, database and AI run on accounts in your name, and you pay those providers directly at their prices. They are not part of the AI DevPilot price and grow with your App's usage.
SaaS template: The app starts from the AI DevPilot SaaS template at no extra cost. Template features do not count against the weekly feature scope.
Scope: An average of 5 features per week (about 20 per month), with 2 × 30-minute consulting sessions per week.

Ownership

Ownership: 100% client: code, data, accounts and hosting.
Retained by AI DevPilot: The AI DevPilot platform, pipeline, template, methodology and tooling (licensed for use, never transferred).

Getting started

Setup: The client creates its AI and hosting accounts and tokens in its own name, in a guided session using a standard onboarding checklist.
Minimum engagement: One month of product development.

Changing course

Failed sign-off: If a feature fails your sign-off, we fix it at no extra cost until you sign it off. If it isn't passing by the end of the month, it carries into the next month without using a feature slot. Issues raised after sign-off, and change requests, count as new features.
Review, pause or stop: After the first month, the client can review, pause or stop at any time, effective at the end of the current monthly period. On stopping, AI DevPilot runs one handover session and revokes all of its access.

Common definitions

SaaS template: Every app starts from the AI DevPilot SaaS template, a ready-made suite of common features provided at no extra cost. Template features are part of the starting point and do not count against weekly feature scope.
Feature and average scope: A feature is one FR-numbered specification of bounded size; larger items are split or counted as multiple features. In Consulting, "an average of 5 features per week" is measured across the month (about 20 features), so a lighter week can be balanced by a heavier one. Unused capacity does not roll over to the next month.
AI and infrastructure: In every model you sign up for AI and infrastructure (Supabase and a DigitalOcean Droplet) in your own name, with our guidance, and pay those providers directly. AI is the Claude API plus a Claude plan for whoever builds: your own plan in Self-Build and Partnership, and a Claude Team seat for our consultant in Consulting, because Claude plans are per person. The estimate shown is a starting point; it grows with your App's usage.
Platform IP: The AI DevPilot platform, template, pipeline and methodology remain AI DevPilot's and are only licensed for use. In Consulting and Self-Build the client receives the app; in Partnership the partner's client, or the buyer of an App the partner sells, receives it, and the revenue is split 50/50 between the partner and AI DevPilot.
Platform access: In Self-Build and Partnership the client works on AI DevPilot through hosted sessions, which run with Claude and Cursor. Access is licensed for the duration of the engagement only.
Delivery access and security: Whoever holds the accounts executes setup. Access for the other party is scoped and revocable (never master tokens), stored in a secrets manager controlled by the account holder. The account holder is responsible for token security; the other party uses granted access only for agreed work.
