What Foundry costs

one-time

For: Deciding if local AI makes sense for you.

  • Specific model and hardware recommendations
  • Cost comparison: current vs Foundry

HONESTY

What's not included

Hardware — you buy the Mac Studio directly from Apple or your preferred reseller. We'll tell you exactly which spec to get.

Your existing software — Foundry connects to your tools but doesn't replace them. Your email, CRM, case management, and accounting software all stay as they are.

Custom development — if you need a workflow we don't already support, we'll scope it separately. No open-ended "custom AI" billing.

Training your team to be ML engineers — that's the point. You shouldn't need to be.

Frequently asked questions

The £99/month is a support and maintenance subscription. The AI itself runs on your hardware with no per-query cost. You can cancel the subscription and Foundry keeps running — you just lose support and updates.
Great. If it's an M-series with enough memory (128GB+ for most workloads, 512GB for large workloads), we can likely use it. The Fit Review will confirm.
The £299 Advisory is effectively a try-before-you-buy. If you proceed to Managed setup within 30 days, the £299 is credited toward setup.
Not currently. Foundry is built for Apple Silicon. The unified memory architecture is what makes large model inference practical on a desktop computer.
Foundry stops running until the hardware is fixed or replaced. Your data is preserved on the machine's storage. If you have a support subscription, we'll help you get back up and running. We recommend having a backup of any extracted data.
Yes, depending on memory. A 512GB Mac Studio can run document processing, support triage, and knowledge search simultaneously. Code review can run alongside too. The dashboard shows you what's running and how much memory is available.
