Team 400 is an Australian AI consultancy that cites more than 25 years of software engineering experience and publishes the typical cost of its engagements⁠1.

Best for: Australian mid-sized companies that want typical price ranges for strategy, proof of concept and production builds before they talk to a firm.

Not the right fit for: Buyers outside Australia, or those who want a fixed price list rather than typical ranges.

The published ranges

EngagementTypical cost (AUD)Duration
Strategy and assessmentA$20,000 to A$50,0002 to 4 weeks
Proof of conceptA$20,000 to A$50,0002 to 4 weeks
Production AI agent or applicationA$50,000 to A$250,0006 to 16 weeks

Alongside these, it publishes a market table of hourly rates in Australian dollars: A$200 to A$350 for independent consultants, A$250 to A$400 for boutique firms like itself, A$300 to A$450 for mid-tier firms and A$350 to A$600 for the Big Four⁠1.

Published evidence

Team 400 publishes no named client results on the page we read.

Strengths and limits

Strengths

  • Publishes ranges and durations for each stage of its own work.
  • Sets its prices beside a market table that separates independent, mid-tier, boutique and Big Four hourly rates.

Limits

  • Ranges rather than fixed prices; the final quote follows scoping.
  • No retainer or hourly rate of its own is published.
  • Prices are in Australian dollars and reflect the Australian market.

Choose another option if: You are outside Australia, or want a price agreed before scoping.

Pricing

Published ranges (AUD): strategy and assessment A$20,000 to A$50,000; proof of concept A$20,000 to A$50,000; production agent or application A$50,000 to A$250,000.

Questions to ask Team 400

  • Where in each range would our project fall, and why?
  • What does support cost after the production build?
  • Who owns the code and models at the end?
