The Framework

The Ownership Spectrum

Every CAIBots tier represents a different level of control, commitment, and ownership. As ownership shifts to you, the pricing model shifts accordingly. The moon phases show how much of the platform you control at each stage.

Example · Insurance
ClaimPro Agent -- TPA Firm
A third-party administrator processing hundreds of claims monthly deployed a ClaimPro agent. It automated document review and validation, reducing processing time by over 70% -- from days to under a day per claim. At the 6-month mark, outcome terms were introduced based on demonstrated efficiency gains.
Example · Staffing
TalentMatch Screening Agent
A mid-size staffing firm screening hundreds of resumes weekly deployed TalentMatch. Top-tier candidates surfaced in minutes instead of hours, eliminating significant recruiter time weekly. The internal IT team chose to self-manage without a support SLA. Outcome pricing review scheduled at 9 months.
☁️Tier 3 · CAI-as-a-ServiceWe Build, We Host

CAI-as-a-Service

The most complete CAIBots offering. We build it, host it, maintain it, and evolve it. You get a fully managed AI capability with three economic layers running simultaneously -- recurring subscription, metered usage, and outcome-based upside. We win when you win.

Fast-growing SMBsTeams without internal ITOutcome-focused buyersMulti-channel deployments
The commercial sweet spot. CAI-as-a-Service is the only tier where Subscription, Usage, and Outcome are all Core simultaneously -- creating the strongest alignment between CAIBots' success and your business results.

Three Pricing Engines -- Working Together

✦ Value / OutcomeRevenue share on incremental appointments above established baseline% of incremental revenue
Net Client ROI (Illustrative)
All three layers active · Outcome tied to measurable lift above baseline
3× or greater
How outcome pricing works: A baseline is agreed at contract start -- your current monthly volume of appointments, leads, or revenue. CAIBots earns a revenue share percentage only on incremental value above that baseline. If the agent doesn't move the metric, the outcome layer does not activate. This is what "We win when you win" means in practice.
Example · Solar Sales
Lightning Lead -- Solar Installer
A regional solar installer used CAI-as-a-Service to capture every inbound lead within 60 seconds. Subscription covers managed service, usage scales with lead volume, and the outcome layer shares a percentage of revenue from incremental installations above the pre-AI baseline. All three economic layers active from day one.
Example · Property Management
FixFlow -- PM Company
A property management firm managing hundreds of units used FixFlow on CAI-as-a-Service. Subscription and usage layers are active. The outcome layer was scoped as cost savings -- tracking labor hours eliminated and tenant satisfaction scores. Outcome doesn't have to be revenue. It can be any measurable business improvement.
🏗️Tier 4 · CaiOS StarterYou Build, We Host

CaiOS Starter

You're ready to build your own AI agents using CAIBots' no-code platform. CaiOS Starter gives you the builder -- we keep the infrastructure. You design and deploy agents independently without needing your own hosting setup. The natural bridge between managed service and full platform ownership.

The natural step toward Enterprise. CaiOS Starter removes the infrastructure burden while giving you full build capability. When your team and deployment scale justify it, migrating to CaiOS Enterprise is a structured, supported transition -- no data loss, no downtime.

Earn-As-You-Go
Example · Consultancy
AI Consultancy -- 6 Active Clients
A boutique AI consultancy licenses CaiOS Starter to deliver agents across 6 active client engagements. They build and configure agents themselves using the no-code builder. CAIBots handles all hosting, infrastructure, and platform updates. The consultancy charges clients their own fee structure -- fully independent from CAIBots pricing.
Example · Growing SMB
Multi-Department Retail Chain
A regional retail chain needed agents for customer service, inventory alerts, and staff scheduling -- but lacked dedicated hosting infrastructure. CaiOS Starter gave them full build capability with zero infrastructure burden. Planning a structured migration to CaiOS Enterprise once IT infrastructure is established in Year 2.
🏛️Tier 5 · CaiOS EnterpriseYou Build, You Host

CaiOS Enterprise

Full platform ownership. You license CaiOS, deploy it on your own infrastructure, and build unlimited agents independently. CAIBots is entirely out of your stack. You own the IP, the data, the infrastructure, and the capability. This is the destination -- not the starting point.

The Earn-As-You-Go model: CaiOS Enterprise licensees can build and sell AI agents to other businesses, creating their own AI revenue stream on top of the platform. Particularly powerful for agencies and technology consultants serving multiple enterprise clients.

Example · Technology Partner
AI Reseller Program
A technology solutions firm licenses CaiOS Enterprise and white-labels AI agent deployments as part of their client services. They fully control the product, pricing, and delivery -- CAIBots provides the underlying platform capability and optional support. Their clients never interact with CAIBots directly.
Example · CaiOS Starter Graduate
Agency Scales to Full Ownership
An agency that started on CaiOS Starter with 6 clients grew to 20+ active deployments over 18 months. Migrating to CaiOS Enterprise reduced total cost per deployment significantly while eliminating hosting dependency entirely. A structured transition -- no data loss, no downtime.
Reference Guide

The 5 Pricing Layers

Every CAIBots offering is assembled from a combination of these five layers. Understanding each one helps you predict costs, structure commercial conversations, and identify the right model for your business.

🏛️
Platform License
Own the builder -- create and deploy agents independently
Foundation
A Platform License grants the right to use the CaiOS no-code AI agent builder. Once licensed, you create unlimited agents with no per-agent cost. On CaiOS Starter, CAIBots hosts the infrastructure. On CaiOS Enterprise, you host everything yourself. Think of it like enterprise software -- you pay for access to the capability, not for each output it produces.

Foundation
The Build Fee covers end-to-end development of a custom CAI Agent by the CAIBots team: requirements gathering, conversation design, AI model training, system integrations, testing, and deployment. A one-time investment producing an asset you own and host. Pricing scales with complexity -- number of conversation flows, integrations, and training data volume.

A monthly recurring fee that funds the ongoing service relationship. What it covers depends on the tier: for CAI-as-a-Service it funds the fully managed service including hosting and support. For CAI Agents it's an optional support SLA. For CaiOS Starter it covers hosting and platform updates. For CaiOS Enterprise it covers the update stream and priority access.

Pay as you grow -- metered by conversation volume
Recurring
Usage pricing is metered by the number of interactions your AI agent handles each month. Costs are proportional to business activity generated -- quiet months cost less, high-volume months reflect higher value being created. Volume tiers and included conversation allowances are discussed during scoping. For Free Agents, this layer only activates as a post-pilot commercial arrangement.

Value / Outcome
We win when you win -- ROI-based revenue share
Upside
CAIBots earns a revenue share percentage only on incremental business value above a defined baseline. The baseline -- current monthly leads, appointments, or revenue -- is agreed at contract start. If the agent doesn't move the metric, this layer doesn't activate. Core only for CAI-as-a-Service, where full measurement infrastructure is in place from day one. This layer is what separates CAIBots from vendors who charge for software regardless of results.
