12-week pilots, fixed price, quoted in INR
Vihaya prices each pilot as a fixed-price 12-week engagement, quoted in INR after a discovery call. It is sold as a project, not a SaaS subscription: no seat-based pricing, no per-decision fees, no lock-in. Vihaya is pre-revenue and has not yet completed a paid pilot, so the first design-partner engagements will set the public price reference.
Engagement phases and what’s billed
| Phase | Duration | Output | Pricing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery call | 30 min | Wedge scoped; SOW draft requested | No charge |
| Pilot | 12 weeks | Deployed service; eval-passing; runbook | Fixed-price · quoted per engagement |
| Production transition | ~4 weeks | Full cutover from shadow to production traffic | Fixed transition fee · scoped |
| Ongoing | Quarterly | Model + prompt updates; eval maintenance; on-call SLAs | Quarterly engagement fee · scoped |
Why not SaaS?
Two reasons. First, regulated enterprise buyers prefer the project shape — it fits how they capitalise technology spend and how they think about vendor risk. Second, the value Vihaya is designed to create is concentrated in the 12-week pilot and the production transition; recurring SaaS pricing doesn’t track that value distribution.
After the pilot, the deployed service is yours. You can run it without us. In the engagement shape we’re designing, ongoing model + prompt maintenance is where Vihaya’s team would add the most leverage — but the option to walk is real, by design.
Pricing FAQ
How much does a pilot cost?
Pricing is engagement-scoped and quoted in INR after a discovery call. Vihaya is pre-revenue and has not yet completed a paid pilot; the first design-partner engagements will set the public price-point reference. We aim to send a draft SOW with a firm INR number within roughly a week of the discovery call.
Is there a SaaS subscription option?
No. Vihaya intends to sell outcomes via fixed-price engagements, not recurring subscriptions. After a pilot, the customer would either renew into production-phase work (engagement-scoped) or stop. No lock-in by design.
What about foundation-model costs?
Foundation-model API usage (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Vertex) is pass-through on the customer’s own provider account. Estimated usage will be included in the SOW so the total spend is predictable.
What’s a design-partner pilot?
The first customers in each vertical are design partners by definition. They receive materially better economics in exchange for case-study rights, product-roadmap input, and a faster go/no-go timeline. They also shape the product, which means the first pilots cost less but deliver less polish than later engagements will.
What about ongoing support after a pilot?
Production-phase engagements would price separately. Anticipated shape: a fixed-fee transition month, then a quarterly engagement covering model + prompt updates, eval-gate maintenance, and on-call SLAs. The customer’s team owns day-to-day operation; Vihaya owns the AI substrate.
