How Much Does an AI Cofounder Cost? Pricing Compared (2026)
AI cofounder · The Pythe team · Updated 2026-10-11
What AI cofounder tools cost compared with chat assistants, consultants and hiring, and what you get on Pythe’s Free, Base and Premium plans.
Short answer: Pythe costs £0 on Free, £19 a month on Base and £39 a month on Premium, billed monthly, VAT may apply. That compares with a general chat assistant subscription at a similar price, consultants charging by the hour, or giving a human cofounder a share of the company.
What each Pythe plan is for
| Plan | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Free | £0 | Trying Pythe: research, a roadmap, and connecting Claude, Cursor, Codex or ChatGPT |
| Base | £19 a month | Founders handing real tasks to agents, with GitHub, Slack, Gmail, HubSpot and Notion actions |
| Premium | £39 a month | Heavier agent work, including watching agent screens live |
Compared with the alternatives
- Chat assistant: similar price, but no persistent roadmap or agents running your tasks.
- Consultant: expert judgement, but paid by the hour.
- Human cofounder: shares the risk, but costs equity.
