PRICING / RATES
Pricing: Canadian AI infrastructure + intelligence

HOW PRICING WORKS / THE MODEL
How AI consulting pricing Canada works at Vanwebdev LTD
Most Vanwebdev LTD AI consulting pricing Canada engagements are time-boxed scoped projects. Specifically, each carries a single CAD figure. For example, the Intelligence Audit ships in one week for $250. Furthermore, the Operations Intelligence audit ships in 2-4 weeks for $5000. Similarly, the Hermes website build ships in 6-8 weeks for $2500. In short, the published rate is the contract rate. Consequently, there is no sales-team gate. Moreover, there is no per-seat tiering. In addition, there is no hidden enterprise tier.
Some engagements are month-to-month retainers. Specifically, each carries a published monthly rate. For instance, Standing Engagement is $2000 monthly. Similarly, the Monthly Threat Brief is $350 monthly. Likewise, Sovereign AI Defense is $1500 monthly. Notably, these retainers carry no minimum term. Furthermore, they carry no notice period. Consequently, the engagement ends the month you stop the renewal. In short, the retainer model fits operators who need recurring Canadian AI consulting pricing Canada intelligence rather than a one-shot deliverable.
One engagement is range-priced. Specifically, the Sovereign AI Box ranges $45000 base to $280000 fully configured. For example, the GPU count drives the cost. Similarly, the storage tier drives the cost. Furthermore, the Hetzner Helsinki versus Canadian-region selection drives the cost. In addition, the Protected B classification drives the cost. Therefore, the configurator surfaces a line-by-line breakdown before the quote ships. Consequently, the AggregateOffer schema below records the price range under schema.org.

ANTI-POSITIONING / WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE
What AI consulting pricing Canada does not include
AI consulting pricing Canada at Vanwebdev LTD excludes a short list of pass-through items. Notably, the Sovereign AI Box does not include hardware procurement. Specifically, GPUs ship at-cost passthrough on the operator invoice. Furthermore, Vanwebdev applies zero markup. Similarly, hosting fees on Hetzner Helsinki are operator-paid. Likewise, hosting fees on any Canadian-region cloud are operator-paid. In short, Vanwebdev never marks up infrastructure. Additionally, third-party LLM API costs are operator-paid against the operator’s own API key. For example, OpenAI and Anthropic and the Cohere Canadian sovereign tier all bill the operator directly. Moreover, GST and PST are calculated at WooCommerce checkout. Consequently, the rate reflects Canada Revenue Agency rules for the operator’s province of registration.

DECISION TREE / HOW TO CHOOSE
How to choose the right Vanwebdev engagement for your operator stage
If you do not know where you are
Start with the Intelligence Audit if you do not know where you sit. Specifically, the audit measures your AI consulting pricing Canada readiness against budget. For instance, the deliverable is a scored risk map. Furthermore, the deliverable is a written brief. Notably, both ship in one week for $250. Consequently, you leave with a Canadian AI deployment plan. Indeed, even if no further engagement follows, the brief is yours. In short, the audit is the diagnostic entry point most operators take. Moreover, it precedes any Build-trunk commitment. Similarly, it precedes any Defend-trunk commitment.
If the gap is architectural
Move to Sovereign Infrastructure Brief if the gap is architectural. Specifically, the Brief ships a topology design. Furthermore, the Brief ships Canadian-region selection. In addition, the Brief ships a Protected B classification map. Notably, the Brief runs 3 to 5 weeks for $3000. Subsequently, the operator hands the brief to an internal engineering team. Alternatively, the operator hands the brief back to Vanwebdev LTD for build execution. In short, the Brief is the architectural planning artifact one tier above the audit.
If you are ready to ship
Move to Open Claw Pro or Sovereign AI Box if you are ready to ship. Specifically, Open Claw Pro is the production sovereign stack. For instance, the rate is $5000 with a 2 to 4 week timeline. Similarly, the Sovereign AI Box is the full hardware bundle. Furthermore, the rate is $45000 to $280000 with an 8 to 16 week timeline. Notably, this engagement fits operators buying the complete sovereign infrastructure layer. For example, it includes GPUs. Moreover, it includes the runtime LLM. In addition, it includes the agent harness. Likewise, it includes Canadian-region hosting wiring.
