Updated 3 November 2026: on 31 October 2026 we checked the prices of every agency we listed at the time, again on their own websites, and recalculated every figure on this page. Agencies added since then are checked on their own websites when we list them, so the page now covers all 290. The October figures are kept in the November 2026 index.

Earlier, on 30 October 2026: we recalculated every figure on this page for the 281 agencies we now list, and gave the page a plainer search title. The Index name is unchanged.

Earlier, on 29 October 2026: we listed one more agency, SoftSync-AI, which publishes a price on its own website (checked on 29 October). We recalculated every figure on this page: 114 of the 278 agencies then published a price, and the median starting price for a one-off project was £1,750 (64 agencies). We also renamed the study the UK AI Automation Price & Transparency Index and added a chart, a CSV download and a citation box.

Earlier, on 27 October 2026: we checked the websites of the agencies we list again. 13 agencies that showed no price before now publish one, and 6 changed the prices they publish, so we added or updated those. We removed 8 agencies because their websites no longer showed the price we had recorded, or would not open that day. Every figure here needs a source that still shows it. All of these were checked on the agencies' own websites on 27 October, and we recalculated every figure on this page.

Earlier, on 18 October 2026: we listed 47 more agencies, each checked on its own website on 17 October. 15 of them published a price at the time, and we recalculated every figure on this page. Before that, on 17 October 2026, we added the published prices of 32 agencies we already listed, each checked on its own website that day.

Most UK AI automation agencies do not put prices on their websites. The ones that do give buyers a rare public benchmark. This study collects every price published by the agencies in our directory and sorts them by what the price is for.

Data: download the CSV (262 published prices from 124 agencies; one agency's prices count in the study figures but are left out of the file) or see all our open data.

In short: of the 290 agencies we list, 125 publish at least one price. Among the 73 that publish a one-off project price, the median starting price is £1,500. Audits and discovery start lower, at a median of £650 (51 agencies), and monthly plans at a median of £150 a month (76 agencies).

Method

  • Population. Every agency listed in the TrustedAIAgencies UK directory on the date of this study: 290 businesses that mention AI or automation services on their own website.
  • Prices. We recorded a price only when the agency publishes it on its own website. We checked every listed website again on 31 October 2026 and check new agencies when we list them. Each agency’s profile shows its own check date. We did not ask agencies for quotes and did not use third-party sites.
  • Coding. Each published price was sorted into one category by its own wording, such as “workflow audit” or “AI agents”. Where the wording does not say what the price covers (for example “From £1,500”), we put it in its own category rather than guess. Prices that fit none of these categories, or have no clear unit or contents, are left unclassified (2 in all). The full coding is in the table at the end.
  • One figure per agency. In each category, an agency counts once, at its lowest published price. So a median here is the middle of agencies’ starting prices, not the middle of all prices.
  • Add-ons. Prices for add-ons sold on top of a base package, such as per Hub, per connector or per user, are not counted as starting prices.
  • Project price. For the comparisons by service and tool, “project price” means an agency’s lowest one-off price for a workflow build, an AI agent, chatbot or custom build, or a project of unstated scope. Audits, training, day rates and monthly plans are left out.
  • Rounding. Medians are rounded to the nearest pound. Where a group has fewer than 5 agencies, we show the range only.
  • Integrity check. Every amount in this study is checked automatically against the agency’s published price text in our dataset when the site is built.

Limitations

  • Starting prices, not project averages. Almost every figure is a “from” price. A real project usually costs more, and two “from £1,500” offers can include very different work.
  • Not comparable like for like. One agency’s “automation” may be a single two-step workflow; another’s may include discovery, testing and support. We have not checked what each price includes.
  • Small groups. Only 125 of 290 agencies publish anything, and the largest price category, monthly plans, retainers, maintenance and support, holds only 76 agencies. Treat medians as rough.
  • Selection bias. Agencies that publish prices may differ from those that do not, for example by selling smaller, packaged jobs.
  • Services and tools are agency-level. An agency tagged “voice agents” may have published a price for something else. The service and tool tables show the prices of agencies that mention a service, not the price of that service.
  • VAT. 9 agencies say their price excludes VAT. The others do not say, so figures mix prices with and without VAT.
  • A snapshot. Prices change. Each agency’s profile shows the date we checked it. We plan to check every listed agency’s prices again and update this index every 6 months; earlier figures stay in the update notes at the top of this page.

What this means if you are buying

  • Expect to be quoted. Most agencies do not publish prices, so a missing price is normal, not a warning sign.
  • Use the medians to sense-check, not to budget. If a first quote is far above or below these figures, ask what is included.
  • Compare on one written scope. Send every agency the same description of the work and ask for build, monthly and platform costs separately. Our UK cost guide lists the running costs people forget.

Frequently asked questions

How many UK AI automation agencies publish their prices?
In our directory, about two in five listed agencies (125 businesses, 43%) publish at least one price on their own website. The rest quote per project.
What is the typical starting price for an AI automation project in the UK?
Among the 73 agencies that publish a one-off project price, the median lowest price is £1,500. Published starting prices run from £99 to £18,000. These are starting prices, not what a finished project costs.
Are these prices averages of real projects?
No. They are the lowest prices agencies advertise, usually written as "from £X". We have not seen invoices or quotes, and what a starting price includes varies a lot between agencies.
