An AI employee in India costs from ₹5,000 — and at Orbit Intelligence that's a one-time price, not a monthly fee. You pay once and own the AI employee. Packages scale to ₹50,000 one-time for a full operation, still a fraction of the cost of a single human hire — and right now everything is 50% off.
Pricing is the first real question every founder asks, so let's answer it plainly — no "contact us for a quote" runaround.
What does an AI employee cost?
Orbit Intelligence uses one-time packages so you always know your number up front — pay once, own it:
- Pilot — ₹5,000 one-time: one ready-to-work AI employee on a single core workflow.
- Core — ₹15,000 one-time: two customizable AI employees tuned to your workflows.
- Squad — ₹30,000 one-time: four customizable AI employees with priority monitoring.
- Command — ₹50,000 one-time: multiple AI employees plus automations and regular improvements.
Every package includes 24/7 operation and full ownership of your AI workers. The only ongoing costs are your own third-party subscriptions and API usage (for example, model-provider charges), billed to your accounts. See the live packages on the pricing page.
How does that compare to hiring a human?
A single mid-level employee in India rarely costs just their salary. Add it all up:
- Salary: ₹4–8 lakh/year
- Benefits, PF, and overhead: +15–30%
- Hardware, software, and desk: ₹50,000–1 lakh
- Recruitment and management time: weeks of someone senior's attention
- Ramp-up: 2–3 months before full productivity
That's ₹6–10 lakh every year for one role that works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week — and might leave in 18 months.
A human hire costs lakhs every year. An AI employee is a one-time ₹5,000 — and it never sleeps, quits, or takes leave.
The ROI math, simply
Say an AI employee handles after-hours support and recovers just 10 leads a month you'd otherwise miss. If each lead is worth ₹2,000, that's ₹20,000 in recovered revenue every month — against a one-time ₹5,000 you pay once. The AI employee pays for itself in the first week, then keeps earning. That's the difference between a one-time cost and a recurring salary.
What affects the price?
Within the package structure, the main drivers are:
- Number of AI employees you need running in parallel.
- How custom the workflows are — a standard WhatsApp support worker is simpler than a bespoke research agent.
- Integrations — connecting to your CRM, sheets, or internal tools.
- Automations — Command-tier engagements include broader automation and ongoing improvement work.
Is there a subscription?
No. The package is a one-time price covering design, build, and delivery of your AI employee. There's no per-message billing and no monthly fee from us. You only pay external providers (model APIs, messaging) directly for what your employee uses. If your needs are unusual, we'll tell you before you commit — not after.
Which package is right for me?
If you're testing the idea, start with Pilot. If you have two or three obvious automation gaps, Core is the sweet spot. Running a whole function on AI? Squad or Command. Not sure? That's exactly what the free discovery call is for. New to all this? Read What Is an AI Employee? first.
