Pricing · one plan · billed monthly
One plan. The price is on the website.
You shouldn't have to sit through a sales call to find out what something costs. Here is everything 1771 Co charges, what's included, and what you keep if you stop.
AI Retainer: $1,999 per month
Billed monthly. You work directly with the partners, every session. Nothing gets handed off to a junior or a ticket queue.
- 2 live working sessions a month, 30 minutes each, screen shared
- Unlimited iMessage between sessions. Text us when something breaks or an idea comes up, and we reply quickly
- A shared Notion hub: recordings, transcripts, action items, and a running list of everything built
- Everything we build runs in your accounts and is yours to keep
AI Team Training: $1,500 per half-day
- A short prep call so the session starts on your team's real work
- 3 hours hands-on, on site in the Twin Cities or remote, up to 10 people
- Two working automations built during the session
- A recording, a cheat sheet, and thirty days of follow-up questions by iMessage
Applied to your first retainer month if you continue within sixty days. More about the training session.
Salesforce work: scoped per project
Salesforce consulting, integration, and managed services are scoped per project: a fixed-scope project with a number on it, or a monthly managed-services arrangement. Both are quoted before work starts. See Salesforce consulting, integration, and managed services.
What you keep if you stop
Everything. The automations run in your own Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, your CRM, your phone system, and your own AI account, so nothing depends on us staying in the picture. The Notion hub with every recording, transcript, and build note stays yours too.
That's the fair way to compare any quote: ask what will be running in your business thirty days from now, and what you keep if you stop paying. A tool you rent and a tool you own are not the same purchase, even when the monthly numbers look close.
How this compares in the Twin Cities
These are the prices we see in the Minneapolis market in 2026. The full breakdown, with sources, is in our article on what an AI consultant costs.
| Model | Typical price | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly consultant | $150 to $300 an hour | Flexible, but nobody knows the hours until the job is done. |
| Agency project | $2,500 to $10,000 build, plus $99 to $399 a month | Runs on the agency's platform; changes go through them. |
| Audit and roadmap | $3,000 to $8,000 | A plan. Someone still has to build it. |
| Fractional AI officer | $5,000 to $30,000 a month | Leadership and governance for 50 to 500 people. |
| 1771 Co AI retainer | $1,999 a month | Two builds a month in your accounts. You own the result. |

Questions about pricing
What does it cost?
$1,999 a month, billed monthly. There's one plan and the price is the same for everyone. The first 30-minute call is free.
Is the first call really free?
Yes. Session one is the free 30-minute call. Bring the task you'd most like to never do again; we build something in it, and it's yours to keep whether or not you continue.
Are there setup fees or AI usage costs on top?
No setup fee. You pay the model provider directly for usage, which for an owner-led business is usually $20 to $100 a month in total. We'll tell you on the first call exactly which subscriptions you need, and most clients start with one.
What do I actually get each month?
2 live working sessions, unlimited iMessage between them with quick replies, and a shared Notion hub with recordings, transcripts, action items, and a running list of everything we've built. The tools live in your accounts and stay yours.
What if we've automated everything after a few months?
Then you stop, and you keep everything. Some clients keep going because there's always a next thing worth building. Either way, you're not locked in.
What does the $1,500 training session include?
A prep call, 3 hours hands-on for up to 10 people, two working automations, a recording, a cheat sheet, and thirty days of questions by iMessage. If you start the retainer within sixty days, the $1,500 is applied to your first month.
Do you still do Salesforce work?
Yes. 1771 Co has done Salesforce consulting, integration, and managed services since 2013 and still does. Those projects are scoped separately from the AI retainer.
