Pricing
Transparent pricing. Fixed quotes.
Clear from day one.
PerezCarreno & Coindreau publishes starting-at ranges for every service. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call where we scope and quote before you commit. The price you see is the price you pay. Pricing in USD. We serve small and medium businesses across the United States from our base in San Antonio, Texas.
AI Readiness Assessment
A focused 1 to 2 week diagnostic for operators who suspect AI could help and want a sanity check before investing. We assess where you are, what is realistic, and what to do first. Lower commitment than a full strategy engagement.
Starting at
$5,000
Smaller commitment than full strategy engagement. Credit applied if you later upgrade to AI Strategy & Audit.
AI Strategy & Audit
Before you spend money building anything, you need to know what is worth building. We sit with your team, map your actual workflows, find where time and money are being spent on work AI can do, and rank the opportunities by ROI.
Starting at
$7,500
Fixed-fee engagement. Final scope confirmed after the free discovery call.
Custom AI Automation
The work that runs your business in the background. Invoice processing, lead follow-up sequences, data entry between systems, appointment scheduling, recurring reports. The repetitive work your team does every day that consumes most of their week and adds zero strategic value.
Starting at
$8,500 per workflow
Multi-workflow engagements are scoped as a package. Monthly retainer available for ongoing optimization.
AI Integration & Development
Most AI tools on the market are built for a generic customer who does not exist. They cover about 60% of what you need, and the last 40% is the part that matters most. This is where we build the system from the ground up, shaped around your workflow.
Starting at
$15,000
Typical range $15,000–$60,000 depending on scope. Ongoing retainer available post-launch.
AI Speaking & Training
Armando runs four kinds of sessions for teams and conferences. Each one gets built around your audience and the tools you use, sized for the format you pick.
Starting at
$4,000 per session
Lunch and Learn $4,000, Conference Talk $6,000, Half-Day Workshop $7,500, Full-Day Training $18,000. Travel and per diem are billed separately.
Voice AI Receptionist
Production voice AI that picks up your phone, books appointments, answers questions, qualifies leads, and routes the calls that need a human. Integrated with your calendar and CRM, trained on your business. English and Spanish.
Starting at
$6,500 setup + monthly
Monthly fee covers platform costs, minute usage, and ongoing optimization. Exact monthly scoped to call volume.
AI Coaching for Business Owners
Monthly retainer for owners and executives who need a trusted AI advisor in the decision-making loop. Two 60-minute calls a month plus async Slack access. The lightest-weight way to have senior AI expertise on call.
Starting at
$750/month
Month-to-month retainer. Cancel any time with 30-day notice. Discounts for annual commitments.
How engagements scale
Why most clients spend less over time.
The investment compounds. The integrations and infrastructure built in your first project make every following project faster and cheaper. By the third or fourth workflow, the marginal cost of new automation drops sharply because the foundation is already there.
This works the opposite of how consulting firms price. Consultancies make more as you do more. We make less per workflow as you do more, because the work itself gets easier. That is the right alignment for a long relationship.
A note on what these prices cover
What is and isn't included.
The prices above cover our work. They do not cover third-party software costs (your CRM subscription, your Anthropic API usage, your voice infrastructure provider, your vector database). Those are paid directly by you to the providers and are typically a small fraction of the project cost. We always quote estimated monthly running costs as part of the proposal so you know the full picture.
How our pricing works
Fixed fees, quoted before you commit.
1. Free discovery call
A 30-minute conversation to understand what you need. If we are not the right firm, we will tell you and point you somewhere that is.
2. Scoped quote
We follow up with a fixed-fee scope. For strategy work this is usually same-day; for custom builds, within 48 hours.
3. Kickoff
Once you approve the scope, we schedule kickoff within one week. Payment is typically 50% upfront, 50% on delivery for fixed-fee projects.
4. Ongoing
Post-launch support, retainers, and coaching are priced monthly with 30-day cancellation. No annual lock-in.
FAQ
Pricing questions we hear
- Why do you publish starting-at prices publicly?
-
Because most AI consulting pricing is opaque on purpose, and it is a red flag. We publish starting-at ranges so you know whether we are the right fit before booking a call. Final pricing is always scoped on the discovery call — but you will never be surprised by a number an order of magnitude higher than what is published here.
- What does "starting at" actually mean?
-
Starting-at is the floor for a well-scoped, typical engagement at that tier. Small or very clearly-scoped work can land exactly at the starting price. Larger, more integrated, or multi-workflow projects scale up from there — typically 1.5x to 3x — based on the number of systems involved, team size, and timeline.
- Do you offer payment plans?
-
Yes, for engagements over $10,000. Standard is 50% at kickoff and 50% at delivery. Longer projects (8+ weeks) can split into three or four milestones. For retainers, month-to-month billing is the default.
- Do you work on commission or revenue-share?
-
No. All engagements are fee-based. We turn down revenue-share offers because the incentives rarely align with what is actually best for the client. If we cannot justify our fee against your projected savings, we will tell you.
