Compare

Three ways to get the work done

A full-time hire or a consulting firm is the right call in some situations. Here is how each option looks for a small business with a steady list of projects.

What you are comparing Full-time hire Consulting firm AI SME Hub
Monthly cost About $9,4001A marketing specialist at the median U.S. salary of $78,760 a year, plus benefits. About $27,0002One consultant billed full time, 160 hours a month, at $171 an hour, the U.S. median for AI and data science consulting. $990 or $1,790One flat fee. Third-party tools and ad spend are separate.
Time to start About 6 weeks3A median of 39 days to fill a role, before any onboarding. VariesProposals, a contract and a kickoff usually come first. Under 1 business dayYour Trello board is ready and you can start asking.
Commitment Open-endedA salary every month, in busy weeks and slow ones. Contract termSet by the agreement you sign with the firm. Month to monthPause or cancel anytime, with no minimum term.
Range of work One person's skillsStrong in a few areas, learning the rest on the job. Their specialtyUsually focused on one field, such as strategy, technology or marketing. Eight areasAds, websites, design, automation, reports and more.
Capacity Full timeForty hours a week, inside your team. A teamSized to the contract you pay for. 1 or 2 requests at a timeDelivered one after another, each in a few days.
Best when The work fills every weekYou need someone in the business all day, every day. The project is largeYou need a dedicated team for one complex project that runs for months. The list never endsYou have a steady stream of improvements and no one to do them.
  1. Our estimate from two U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures: the median pay for market research analysts and marketing specialists (May 2025) and the 30% average share of benefits in total compensation for private industry (June 2026).
  2. Our estimate from Consulting Demand, Consulting Fees by Industry (September 2026): the median of the rates that AI and data science consulting firms list in U.S. federal contracts. Those are ceiling rates, so a specific contract can be negotiated lower, and the largest firms charge more.
  3. SHRM, 2026 Recruiting Benchmarking: median time to fill a nonexecutive position.

Who you'll work with

Business judgment first, AI second

I'm Carlos Ramírez, founder of AI SME Hub. Over the last few years I have watched AI become more useful in every kind of work, and I'm convinced it can help smaller businesses as much as large ones. That is why I started this company.

My background is more than 14 years in banking, consulting and investment management in Chile and the United States, in roles where a wrong number has real consequences. I bring that standard to your requests: every automation, report or campaign has to hold up when you look at it closely.

I also spent several years tutoring graduate students in finance, economics and statistics. That is where I learned to explain things without jargon, and it is why every delivery comes with a short guide your team can follow.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What counts as a “request”?

Any specific thing you want solved with AI: an ad campaign, a landing page, an assistant, an automation, a report, a training session. If it's large, we split it into smaller deliveries so you see progress every few days.

Who does the work?

An expert works on every request, using AI tools to deliver faster and personally reviewing everything before it reaches you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes. If you are a new subscriber and Essential or Pro isn't working for you, cancel within 7 days of subscribing and we refund 75% of your first month. You keep what we delivered. The guarantee applies once per business and does not cover the Assessment.

Do I need the Assessment before subscribing?

No. You can subscribe right away. The Assessment is for businesses that want a plan first: a 90-minute session with your team that ends with a map of AI opportunities and a prioritized plan. If you subscribe afterwards, it is credited toward your first month.

How do I send and track my requests?

Through Trello. When you subscribe, we set up a private board for your business. You add each request as a card, drag the cards into the order you want, and follow every request from start to delivery. All you need is a free Trello account.

How fast do you deliver?

Most requests are delivered in 2 to 4 business days. More complex ones are split into stages, and we always give you an estimated timeline before we start.

Do I need to be technical?

No. Explain the problem the way you'd tell a colleague and we'll propose the solution. On delivery you get a simple guide to using it.

What happens with my company's information?

We sign a confidentiality agreement before starting, ask only for the access each request needs, and set everything up in accounts under your company's name so you stay in control.

Is my information used to train AI?

We don't use your information to train AI models. For the tools a request needs, we choose settings that keep your materials out of model training wherever the provider offers that option, and we tell you which tools are involved before we start.

Does the subscription include the tools?

The subscription covers our work. If a solution needs licenses or AI model usage, we tell you up front with an estimated cost, and it's contracted directly in your name.

How does pausing work?

If you have no requests one month, pause your subscription and keep the unused days of your billing cycle for when you come back.

What if I only need one thing?

No problem. Subscribe for a month, get what you need, and cancel. What we delivered stays yours.

Do you work in Spanish?

Yes. We work in English and Spanish: requests, meetings and deliverables, in the language you prefer.

Is there anything you don't do?

We don't build large-scale custom software, and we don't replace legal, accounting or medical advice. If your request isn't a fit, we'll tell you before you pay.

Want to see what AI can do for your business?

Leave your email and we'll set up a 15-minute call, no strings attached.
