TCO Comparison
The real cost of consultant-mediated AI vs. self-serve
Consulting firms charge $500K–$2M+ for AI agent deployments that take months. Here's what you get — and what you pay — with each approach.
| Dimension | Consultant + AI Platform | JieGou Self-Serve |
|---|---|---|
| Time to deploy | 3–6 months (discovery, design, build, test, launch) | Same day — install a department pack and run your first workflow |
| Cost (Year 1) | $500K–$2M+ (consulting engagement + platform licensing) | Platform subscription only — from $0 (Starter) to $149/mo (Team) |
| Vendor lock-in | Single LLM provider (typically OpenAI) — consultant builds on one stack | BYOM — 9 providers + open-source models. Switch anytime. |
| Customization | Re-engage consultant for changes ($$$, weeks of lead time) | Self-serve recipe editor + AI Bakeoffs — instant, no external dependency |
| Ongoing changes | Change requests through consultant, billed hourly or per sprint | Edit any recipe, workflow, or automation yourself. Deploy instantly. |
| Compliance | Consultant-configured — varies by engagement, often manual | 412 compliance policies pre-built. SOC 2 Type II in progress. HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX mapping. |
| Messaging channels | Requires custom integration per channel (additional cost) | 12 channels out of the box — LINE, Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Slack, Teams, and more |
| AI governance | Depends on consultant expertise — may or may not include governance | 10-layer governance stack: RBAC, PII detection, trust escalation, audit trails, sensitivity labels |
| Department coverage | Typically 1–3 departments per engagement phase | 20 departments with curated packs, 132+ tested templates, ready immediately |
| Quality assurance | Manual testing during engagement, stops after handoff | 14,652+ automated tests, nightly CI, health badges, AI Bakeoffs for ongoing quality |
Self-Serve Advantages
Why teams choose self-serve over consultants
JieGou is built for teams that want to move fast — with full governance, compliance, and model flexibility built in.
Deploy in minutes, not months
Sign up, pick your department, install a starter pack, and run your first AI workflow — all in under 10 minutes. No discovery phase, no requirements gathering, no project kickoff meetings.
Predictable pricing, no surprises
Flat monthly subscription. No hourly consulting fees, no scope creep charges, no change-request billing. Scale up departments and users without renegotiating contracts.
No single-vendor lock-in
Consultant-built solutions typically lock you into one LLM provider. JieGou supports 9 providers plus open-source models via BYOM. Run AI Bakeoffs to compare models before committing.
Your team owns it
No dependency on external consultants for changes, updates, or troubleshooting. Your team builds, tests, and deploys AI workflows directly. Knowledge stays in-house.
Compliance built in, not bolted on
412 compliance policies pre-configured for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX, and more. SOC 2 Type II audit in progress. Air-gapped deployment available. Consultants charge extra for compliance — JieGou includes it.
12 channels, zero custom integration
LINE, Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Slack, Teams, Discord, Gmail, Outlook, Intercom, YouTube, and browser — all included. Consultant-built solutions charge per channel integration.
