How this page works: it quotes each firm's own published price, with the page it came from and the date we checked it. Facts checked Oct 3, 2026 to Nov 5, 2026. PSV publishes this site and is one of the firms priced here.
Not every firm publishes a price. Where a firm does, the table quotes it and links the page it came from. Where it does not, we say so.

What the published prices buy
A price means little without the scope behind it. These are the scopes the two firms that publish the most describe.
- First engagement. AI Consulting audits how the firm runs, sets the AI strategy and security posture with the client's IT team, and ends in a sequenced roadmap before anything is built. Source: pacificsoftwareventures.com/ai-consulting, checked Oct 3, 2026
- Deliverables. AI Consulting has ten named deliverables, from a workflow map to a deployment recommendation, and all of them are the client's to keep. Source: pacificsoftwareventures.com/ai-consulting, checked Oct 3, 2026
- Monthly pricing. PSV's monthly advisory and training costs $2K to $5K a month, in three plans at $2,000, $3,000 and $5,000 a month. Source: pacificsoftwareventures.com/ai-consulting, checked Oct 8, 2026

How to compare a retainer with a fixed fee
Annualise the retainer
Multiply a monthly price by twelve to see the year's cost, then compare it with a fixed-fee engagement over the same period.
Check what the fixed fee ends in
A fixed fee that ends in a written roadmap buys a plan. One that ends in a deployed system buys a build. They are not the same purchase.
Add training and hosting
Ask whether training, hosting and the model provider's fees are inside the price or on top of it.
Compare firms on the same scope
Only compare prices for the same job. A strategy call, a sprint and a build are different products; the AI implementation consulting for CRE page shows which firms build.
What moves the price
- Scope. One workflow costs less than a firm-wide roadmap that covers acquisitions, asset management and investor reporting.
- Build or advise. A firm that builds and hosts the system charges for engineering; an adviser who coaches your team charges for time.
- Training. Team training is often priced per person or per cohort, separately from the build.
- Where it runs. A deployment in your own cloud needs your IT team's time as well as the consultant's.
Questions
How much does an AI consultant cost for a commercial real estate firm?
Published prices differ by firm. Pacific Software Ventures: AI Consulting typically $10K to $25K, or $2K to $5K a month for advisory and training. CRE AI Institute from $69/mo. Builds are scoped. The AI Consulting Network: $500 strategy call. Advisory retainers of $2,500 to $5,000 a month.
Is a monthly retainer better than a fixed fee?
A fixed fee suits a defined project with a clear end. A retainer suits ongoing advisory and training after the first build. Many firms buy one, then the other.
Why do some firms not publish prices?
Custom builds vary with scope, so many firms quote after a discovery call. The table marks where that is the case.
