Pricing & Transparency

Every dollar allocated.
Nothing hidden in a bundle.

VOC builds custom AI operating systems for enterprise teams — and prices them in the open. Keep your systems. Connect your operations: because VOC works across the platforms you already run rather than replacing them, pricing reflects connection and configuration, not rip-and-replace. We itemize each cost category, explain what drives it, and show you preliminary ranges before you ever sign anything. Final pricing is always scoped through discovery — but you should never need a decoder ring to read a proposal.

VOC separates software development, implementation services, cloud infrastructure, AI consumption, licensing, support, and optional integrations so clients can see where every dollar is allocated.

Explore preliminary cost ranges for your scenario

Adjust the scope controls and watch every cost line respond. All figures are illustrative estimates generated from a transparent model — they are not quotes, and final pricing always follows a structured discovery.

Scope preset

Presets set every control below to a typical deployment of that shape. Start with one department. Expand when the value is proven.

The estimator uses a simplified public model: modules and departments drive build effort, users drive licensing and AI consumption, each integration adds roughly $8K–$20K one-time, regulated security adds about 25% to implementation, and accelerated delivery adds about 15%. Your discovery-based proposal itemizes the real numbers.

Deployment Ladder

Three levels of deployment — one platform underneath

Most engagements begin as a single-department workspace and grow from there. Every level connects to the systems you already run — SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Procore, Power BI, ERPs, databases — rather than replacing them.

Start with one department. Expand when the value is proven.

Level 1 Most common first engagement

Department Workspace

One team’s operations, connected and running in a single workspace.

  • 25–75 users, one department
  • 3–6 workspace modules
  • 1–2 major system integrations
  • Focused workflows & department dashboards
  • Embedded AI & document intelligence
≈ $75K–$125K indicative implementation, scope-dependent — not a quote
Level 2 Proven-value expansion

Multi-Department Platform

Several departments working from shared data and cross-functional workflows.

  • Multiple departments on one platform
  • Expanded module set
  • Several system integrations
  • Shared enterprise data model
  • Cross-functional workflows & reporting
≈ $150K–$350K+ indicative implementation, scope-dependent — not a quote
Level 3 Scoped through discovery

Enterprise Operating Environment

An operating layer across business units, designed to support large user populations.

  • Enterprise-wide deployment
  • Complex, multi-system integrations
  • Multiple business units
  • Advanced security & governance
  • Large user populations
Custom — often $350K–$1M+ indicative range, subject to technical discovery — not a quote

Ladder figures are indicative, scope-dependent implementation ranges for planning conversations — never a quote. Final pricing is itemized through structured discovery.

Cost Drivers

What actually drives cost

Six variables account for most of the variance between a departmental workspace and a seven-figure enterprise program. Here is how each one moves the number.

Scope & modules

Each workspace module — operations, documents, reporting, knowledge, automation — is designed, configured, and tested individually. Module count is the single largest driver of build effort and implementation cost.

Integrations

Every connected system adds discovery, authentication, mapping, and testing work — typically $8K–$20K each depending on API maturity. Legacy ERPs sit at the high end; modern SaaS APIs at the low end.

Data migration

Clean, well-structured source data migrates quickly. Decades of spreadsheets, shared drives, and orphaned databases require profiling, cleansing, and validation passes that add both cost and calendar time.

Hosting model

VOC-managed cloud bundles infrastructure and operations into one predictable fee. Hosting in your own Azure or AWS tenancy shifts infrastructure billing to your existing cloud agreement — often cheaper at scale, with more of the operational load on your team.

AI consumption

AI features are metered on actual model usage, passed through transparently. Occasional summarization costs little; organization-wide document intelligence and agentic automation consume meaningfully more. You see the meter — and can cap it.

Security & compliance posture

Enhanced controls — private networking, customer-managed keys, extended audit logging — add engineering effort. Regulated environments (government, health, finance) typically add roughly 25% to implementation for hardening, documentation, and assessment support.

Scope Clarity

What’s included vs what’s optional

Every engagement ships with the full delivery lifecycle. Optional items are exactly that — scoped separately, priced separately, and never required to get value from your workspace.

Cost Ownership

Who manages — and pays for — what

Three buckets, honestly separated. Some costs flow through VOC, some stay with you, and some go straight to third parties with no markup from us.

Client-managed

Costs and responsibilities that remain inside your organization:

  • Internal project team time and change management
  • Your cloud tenancy, if you choose client hosting
  • End-user devices, identity provider, and network
  • Data ownership, retention, and governance decisions

VOC-managed

What your VOC agreement covers directly:

  • Workspace development, configuration & releases
  • Implementation services, training & launch support
  • Platform licensing and support at your chosen tier
  • Infrastructure operations, if VOC-managed cloud is selected

Third-party costs

Passed through transparently, never marked up:

  • Cloud provider fees (Azure, AWS) billed at provider rates
  • AI model consumption, metered on actual usage
  • Third-party software licenses your integrations require
  • Optional middleware where a vendor mandates it (e.g., some ERP landscapes)

Pricing FAQ

Common pricing questions, answered plainly

Partly. Platform licensing scales with users, but on a declining per-user curve — the 1,500th user costs meaningfully less than the 50th. Implementation, integrations, and training are scoped by complexity, not headcount, so adding users later doesn’t re-trigger build costs.
Four things: platform licensing, cloud infrastructure, AI consumption, and your support tier. Each appears as its own line in every invoice, so you can see exactly which one moves and why. One-time items — implementation, integrations, training — never silently convert into subscriptions.
Yes. Client-hosted deployments in your own Azure or AWS tenancy are fully supported — infrastructure bills flow through your existing cloud agreement at provider rates, and your team keeps operational control. VOC-managed cloud remains available if you’d rather have one predictable monthly fee and no infrastructure operations burden.
On metered usage, passed through transparently with monthly reporting by feature and department. You can set consumption caps and alerts, and during discovery we model expected usage so the first invoice is never a surprise. Estimates on this page are illustrative; actual consumption depends on how your teams use AI features.
Changes go through a written change process: we quantify the impact on cost and timeline before any work begins, and you approve or decline. Because pricing is itemized, a change to one module or integration never reprices the whole engagement.
Because exact prices before discovery would be fiction. Custom workspaces depend on your data quality, system landscape, and security posture — things we can only assess by looking. Ranges give you honest planning numbers now; discovery converts them into a fixed, itemized proposal you can hold us to.

All figures on this page are preliminary, illustrative estimates subject to discovery. They reflect typical enterprise software ranges, not quotes or commitments.
