What AI Consulting Should Actually Cost

AI consulting rates in 2026 range from $75/hr for solo freelancers to $600/hr at the big consultancies. Neither end is where most companies actually want to be.

We price at $60–$150/hr depending on scope and seniority — below the boutique/enterprise AI-consulting tier, above the commodity freelance floor, with the engineering discipline (eval suites, guardrails, architecture review) that the freelance tier usually skips.

No “get a quote” games. Real numbers, real process.
