What it costs
What it costs to set up AI for a small business.
There are two costs. Your team’s own AI plan, paid to Anthropic or OpenAI. And our setup and support, written down for you before any work starts.
How much does a team AI plan cost?
About $25 a person a month.
Claude Team is $25 a person a month for a standard seat, or $20 billed yearly.
ChatGPT Business is also $25 for a standard seat, or $20 billed yearly.

How much does Sato charge?
We write our price down for you after a 30-minute call.
It depends on how many people, which tools you use, and what you want AI to do first.
Scope, timing, and price are agreed in writing before any work starts.
What’s included?
- Setup: your AI plan, ready for the whole team.
- Your company’s information in it.
- The tools you already use, connected.
- Your people, trained on their own work.
- Every month after: kept current as your business changes.
Do you resell or mark up the AI plan?
No. Your AI plan is in your company’s name, paid to Anthropic or OpenAI directly.
We never resell it or mark it up.
Should I hire someone or set up AI myself?
You can set it up yourself. Anyone can buy a team plan online.
What takes time is the rest: putting your company’s information in, connecting your tools, and teaching your team to use it on real work.
Hire help when you want that done for you, by someone who has done it before.
