How Much Does an AI Automation Agency Cost? What an Automation Sprint Includes

What does the Automation Sprint include?

• A workflow audit and system design for one process
• One process automated, tested and live
• Handover documentation and a recorded walkthrough
• 30 days of fixes

The exact scope is agreed on the process call. Examples of a single process: replying to and qualifying inbound leads, building monthly client reports, onboarding new clients, or drafting comment and DM replies for approval.

How does buying the Sprint online work?

1. Pay £9,135 on the checkout page. Payment comes first.

2. You get a call to walk through the process you want automated; after payment, Manthan emails you to book it.

3. The automation goes live within 5 working days after that call.

Buying from India? Request an invoice instead of paying by card or PayPal; the checkout page explains how.

What do the other engagements cost?

All MorningstarrAI fees have a 45% service fee added on top, invoiced together with the fee.

• AI Outbound Engine: £4,500 fixed price. The cold-email system MorningstarrAI runs daily, set up on your inboxes, live in 5 days.
• Agency Operating System: from £12,000 one-off. 3 to 5 connected systems across the agency, team training, one operations dashboard and 60 days of fixes.
• Managed Automation Partner: from £2,500 per month. Weekly monitoring and fixes, new builds every month, priority WhatsApp support and a monthly review.
• AI Content Engine: £3,000 per month plus a £1,500 one-time setup, 3-month minimum, limited to 3 clients.

What drives the cost of an AI automation project?

• Number of processes: one process is a Sprint; several connected systems are an operating system build.
• Number of tools and how good their APIs are
• Edge cases: approvals, exceptions and error handling take more time than the happy path
• Ongoing running: monitoring, fixes and changes after launch, which the managed plan covers

Running costs for the tools themselves (for example your automation platform plan or AI model usage) sit in accounts you own, so you see them directly.

What is not included in the Sprint?

• More than one process. A second process is a second Sprint, or part of an Agency Operating System build.
• Tool subscriptions and AI usage. These run in accounts you own and are billed to you by the tool provider.
• Ongoing monitoring after the 30 days of fixes. That is what the Managed Automation Partner plan covers.
• Strategy work outside the process, such as rewriting your offer or your client reports' content.

Which engagement fits which agency?

• You know the one job that eats your team's week: the Automation Sprint, bought online.
• You want more booked calls from cold email: the AI Outbound Engine.
• Several teams lose hours to manual work across sales, delivery and reporting: the Agency Operating System.
• You already have systems and want someone to run, fix and extend them: the Managed Automation Partner.
• You want a YouTube channel publishing daily in your own voice: the AI Content Engine.

Is a fixed-price Sprint better than hourly billing?

For a first project, a fixed price with a fixed scope is easier to approve and easier to judge: one process, one price, a clear finished state and a date. MorningstarrAI does not quote results it does not have; it shows you the systems it runs on its own agency instead.
