By Daan Haket · Researched and written with an AI assistant · who does what
This is consulting, not a tool you log into: best when you want AI designed and built for you, not when you'd rather DIY with software.
businesses that want AI solutions built for them as a services engagement rather than assembling tools themselves.
you're looking for self-serve software with published pricing — this is custom, quote-based consulting.

Pricing (2026)
✓ Pricing re-verified 10 Oct 2026
(2026-08-17, read in a browser because the site renders client-side and a plain fetch returns only the title) There is no public pricing for the consulting work anywhere on dryground.ai, and we checked before saying so. /pricing, /plans, /services, /about and /contact all return 404. The words “pricing”, “price” and “$” appear zero times on the homepage, and the navigation carries no pricing entry at all — it runs Solutions, Products, Verticals, Case Studies, Research, Book a Consultation.
Tiers do exist with no numbers attached: the AI Velocity line is described as “six tiers from pilot to full enterprise transformation” on 90-day outcome cycles. Budget this as a consulting engagement scoped per project, not a subscription you can read off a page. Re-checked 10 October 2026: /pricing and /plans still return 404 and the llms.txt still carries no consulting price.
The firm's own product, CompanyClaw, is priced separately on companyclaw.ai/plans: Core $99, Pro $297 and Enterprise $1,497 a month, each plus usage from a prepaid token wallet. Plans change — always verify the live price on their site.
Category context: IT & Productivity. Across the 40 tools in this category that we researched with a public US-dollar price, the median entry price is $15 a month (lowest paid plan as listed, per seat where the vendor prices per seat). Compare pricing conditions in the Software Cost Atlas →
The honest knock
Read the headline numbers carefully too. The 20-50% efficiency and 10-20% revenue figures on their homepage carry the caption “2025 industry benchmarks”, so they describe the market rather than this firm's own results. And the case studies underneath them name no clients.

Full-stack AI implementation services: helps businesses design and integrate AI across their tech stack — for teams that want AI built and shipped, not just advised.
What actually drives the quote
For the consulting work there is no plan to weigh, and the absence is documented rather than assumed: dryground.ai/pricing and /plans returned 404 on 21 August and again on 10 October 2026. The firm's CompanyClaw product is priced separately; see the questions below. The llms.txt the firm now publishes for AI crawlers — 7,978 bytes covering products, services, verticals, research and key facts — carries no pricing section. The words pricing and price appear nowhere in it.
Its single dollar figure is the $480M revenue the founder oversaw at Rackspace. So what you negotiate is scope, and that file names the levers. Engagements are structured as 90-day outcome cycles rather than multi-year programmes. Inference is self-hosted on dedicated NVIDIA A100 80GB GPUs, a cost line a firm reselling API capacity does not carry and the reason a data-sovereignty requirement will move your number. The three service lines are not one purchase.
A Custom AI Engineering build, the AI Velocity transformation programme and Adaptive AI Management sit at very different commitments — the last of these described as an ongoing centre of excellence combining consulting, engineering and managed services. The free 45-minute consultation is the only price-discovery step on offer.
How to actually use Dryground AI
There is no signup and no dashboard, so getting started means a sales conversation: the only conversion path on the entire site is the Book a Consultation button, which hands you to Calendly (calendly.com/dg-keith/consultation). What they say happens after that is a Lean Six Sigma pass over the process first and the AI second, delivered in 90-day outcome cycles measured against business metrics. The four service lines are AI Consulting, AI Velocity, Adaptive AI Management and Custom AI Solutions; the products underneath are CompanyClaw (an autonomous operator built on OpenClaw), Nexa, and the Dry Ground Stack. You arrive at a scoped quote, not a plan you pick.

Frequently asked questions
Does Dry Ground sell anything with a published price?
Yes, its product rather than its consulting. CompanyClaw, the autonomous AI operator Dry Ground builds, lists plans on companyclaw.ai/plans (read 10 October 2026): Core $99 a month, Pro $297 and Enterprise $1,497, each plus usage drawn from a prepaid token wallet. Third-party model usage is billed at the provider's list price plus a 12% service fee on Core and Pro and 10% on Enterprise. Private inference on Dry Ground's GPUs is $3.00 per million tokens on Core and $1.00 on Pro, and included on Enterprise, which comes with a dedicated GPU. An additional full operator for another person costs $79 a month on Core and $129 on Pro and Enterprise, and Core has a 14-day free trial. The consulting engagements on dryground.ai still publish no price.
Where is client data processed?
Dry Ground's own llms.txt (read 10 October 2026) describes self-hosted inference on dedicated NVIDIA A100 GPUs and a Privacy & Data Sovereignty service offering private inference, controlled data flows and a US-only footprint, so client data does not touch shared public endpoints. That is the firm's own description; the file names no data processing agreement or certification, so ask for those in writing if data residency is a requirement.
Is this a hands-on review of Dryground AI?
This is a researched assessment, not a hands-on test — where we've used a tool ourselves, we say so explicitly. We name what each tool is good and bad at, and we have no affiliate relationship with Dryground AI — we earn nothing whether you sign up or not.
