Governance & Pricing

Three tiers. Full control. Zero surprises.

Governance is mandatory for all clients — it's what keeps your agents secure, monitored, and up to date 365 days a year. Choose the tier that fits your scale.

How pricing works

No black boxes. The theywork365 pricing model has four components — each with a clear purpose.

Pricing

Quoted per project

Multi-year contracts include progressive discounts. Volume caps on metrics apply — exceeding a threshold earns you a discount on that metric.

Add-on service

Data Platform setup

For agents to deliver real value, they need access to your real data. We support you in building a unified Data Platform — a secure layer connecting your structured and unstructured company data to your agents via MCP servers. This is a separate scoping and setup engagement, priced per project.

  • ERP, CRM, databases, SharePoint, Teams
  • Unstructured data: documents, emails, PDFs
  • Role-based access — agents see only what the user is authorized to see
  • MCP server architecture design and implementation

Pricing

Quoted per project

Depends on data sources, complexity, and existing integrations. Typically a one-time engagement.

Why theywork365

Less upfront cost than a traditional SI project.

Traditional system integration projects require months of analysis, requirements gathering, development, and testing — before you see a single result. theywork365 gets your first agent live in weeks, with no large upfront investment.

Traditional SI project

  • Requirements analysis — weeks of workshops
  • Technical design and architecture
  • Development and testing cycles
  • UAT and change management
  • Go-live — months after the first invoice
  • Annual maintenance contract on top

Typical cost: €40,000–€150,000 upfront

theywork365 approach

  • One-time environment setup — fixed cost, weeks not months
  • Agent scoped and built for your specific process
  • Metrics agreed before development begins
  • First agent live in 2–4 weeks
  • Pay only for the actions the agent performs
  • Governance included — no surprise maintenance bills

Entry cost: setup fee + pay-per-action from day one

FAQ

Common questions.

  • What happens if an agent performs fewer actions than the minimum commitment?

    The minimum commitment is an annual floor — you pay it regardless of usage. It covers our ongoing development and monitoring costs. Think of it as a retainer for a specialist on call.

  • Can I add more agents after the initial setup?

    Yes. Once your environment is configured, adding new agents doesn't require a new setup fee. Each new agent goes through the design phase and gets its own metrics and pricing agreed upfront.

  • What does 'corrective maintenance' include?

    We fix any agent behavior that deviates from the agreed metrics or specifications. If an integration breaks or an AI model update changes agent behavior, we correct it at no extra cost. Knowledge base data updates and content modifications are not included in corrective maintenance.

  • What's included in AI model updates?

    When a new AI model version is available that improves performance, we update your agents. This includes testing the new model against your agreed metrics before deployment.

  • Is the multi-year discount applied to all components?

    Yes — the multi-year discount (up to 20% for 3 years) applies to the governance fee and metric consumption. The setup fee is one-time and not subject to multi-year pricing.
