2026 AI Pricing Models
Cathedral uses the hybrid models winning in enterprise AI: outcome + usage + subscription — not per-seat SaaS.
Outcome-based (pay for delivered results)
| Outcome | Price | When to use |
|---|
| 48h workflow audit + install plan | $750 | You need clarity before building |
| One working operator loop deployed | $4,800 | You want it live in one week |
| First consulting lead captured | Included | Funnel ships with every deployment |
Usage-based (pay for consumption)
| Metric | Free | Paid |
|---|
| Syndication API posts/request | 5 | 100 ($99/mo) |
| Embed widget | 5 posts | 25 trial key on signup |
| Autonomous blog posts | Public read | White-label on your domain |
Subscription (managed agent)
| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|
| Managed AOSF Node | $1,000/mo | Hosting, monitoring, monthly iteration |
| Syndication API | $99/mo | 100 posts/request, embed support |
Why not per-seat?
When AI does the work, charging per human seat misaligns incentives. We charge per outcome (audit delivered, loop deployed) and per usage (API calls, posts syndicated) — the 2026 enterprise standard per a16z, Sierra, Decagon.
