ChatGPT subscription, on your side
The artificial intelligence engine runs on your own ChatGPT subscription, taken out and billed directly by OpenAI. The entry plan is enough to get started; for daily use by several people, plan rather for the €100 or even €200 per month offer.
from€20/ month
All our prices exclude VAT. The ChatGPT subscription is billed directly by OpenAI under its own terms.
A 10-employee SME, first year
To give you an idea, here is a typical first-year budget with MacchinAI.
| Process audit | €1,500 excl. VAT |
|---|---|
| MacchinAI system (core) | €5,000 excl. VAT |
| Maintenance (1 year) | €1,500 excl. VAT |
| Hosting (12 × €30) | €360 excl. VAT |
| First-year total | €8,360 excl. VAT |
Excluding custom modules and the ChatGPT subscription. Following years: maintenance and hosting only, about €1,860 excl. VAT per year in this example.
One hour a day per employee is worth over €6,000 a year
Here is a cautious estimate, with every calculation shown. Your own figures will be measured during the audit.
| Task taken over | Time saved / day |
|---|---|
| Sorting and reading emailfiling, summaries, urgent items first | 20 min |
| Pre-drafted repliesdrafts in your tone, to review and send | 15 min |
| Finding informationcontracts, quotes, client history in one question | 10 min |
| Follow-upsclients, leads, invoices | 5 min |
| Filing and data entryattachments, records, case files | 5 min |
| Reportingdashboards and status updates ready | 5 min |
| Total per employee | 1 h |
A deliberately modest assumption: on the home page we estimate routine work at 1.5 hours a day; here we only count 1 hour.

Our calculation basis, fully transparent
- Median net salary in the French private sector: €2,190 per month full-time equivalent (Insee, 2024 wages).
- Converted to gross salary (employee contributions ≈ 22%): about €2,810 per month.
- Converted to employer cost (employer contributions ≈ 40%): about €3,930 per month, i.e. €47,160 per year.
- Divided by the legal annual working time of 1,607 hours: about €29 per hour worked.
These are orders of magnitude: contribution rates vary with salaries and relief schemes, and the time saved depends on your volumes. Above all, this time is not a cash saving: it is time given back to your teams to sell, advise and produce. That is exactly what the audit quantifies for your company.
A well-designed, thoroughly tested system — not a kit to tinker with
Let’s be honest: if you are after the cheapest option, you can assemble plenty of open-source tools yourself. It is entirely possible. MacchinAI is for SMEs that would rather have a system ready fast and reliable from day one.
Doing it yourself
- Tools to choose, install and connect together
- Weeks of tuning and testing
- Security and access rights to design alone
- Nobody to call when something breaks
- Time your teams do not spend on their actual job
The MacchinAI system
- A complete core, already built and proven
- Up and running within weeks
- Security, rights and human approval built in
- A contact who knows your installation
- Your teams save time as soon as it goes live
You are not paying for tools: you are paying for a system that works, fitted to your processes — and for the time you will not have to lose building it.
How many hours could your teams get back?
In a 30-minute call, we identify with you the tasks most worth handing over to AI. You leave with a first estimate, even if we never work together.
