TL;DR
- Brainmox is $299/month for one AI assistant during private beta.
- The price includes AI usage, persistent memory, supported tools and personal onboarding; customers do not receive a separate token bill.
- We chose a flat price because a predictable monthly cost is easier to approve and compare than an open-ended usage meter.
- We do not yet have enough customer evidence to promise a standard number of hours saved or a universal ROI.
- Evaluate the plan against one measured workflow of your own, not an invented productivity benchmark.
Brainmox costs $299 per month. That is deliberately above a general chat subscription and far below the cost of hiring a person. Neither comparison proves value for a particular customer. The honest test is whether Brainmox can reliably remove enough recurring work in that customer’s workflow to justify the price.
What the plan includes
The private-beta plan includes one persistent AI assistant, the web and desktop apps, Telegram and Slack access, supported Google Workspace services, scheduling, memory, knowledge, a credential vault, tool permissions, audit history and personal setup with the team. AI usage is included rather than billed as a separate token meter. Product limits and availability can change during beta; the pricing page is the current source for the offer.
Why a flat monthly price
Usage pricing can be appropriate for infrastructure and APIs, but it makes delegation harder to budget. A user should not need to estimate model tokens before asking an assistant to research a topic or work through a document.
A flat price moves that variability to us. Brainmox still applies safety and runaway controls, and “flat” does not mean every conceivable workload is operationally unlimited. It means the published plan does not add a customer-facing token invoice to the monthly subscription.
How to decide whether $299 is justified
Start with one recurring job, not a broad promise that an assistant will transform the whole week. For two to four weeks, record:
- how often the job occurs;
- how much active human time it takes before Brainmox;
- setup, review and correction time with Brainmox;
- failure or rework rate;
- whether the result is useful without creating new risk.
Then compare the measured monthly value with $299. A simple break-even calculation is:
monthly price ÷ value of one recovered hour = hours that must be recovered
For illustration only, someone who values an hour of this work at $100 would need to recover about three hours per month. At $50 per hour, the threshold is about six hours. Those are arithmetic examples, not Brainmox performance claims. The relevant hourly value and result must come from the customer’s own situation.
Who should not buy it
Brainmox is unlikely to make sense for occasional one-off drafting, casual questions or someone who does not have a repeatable workflow to test. A lower-cost chat product may be a better fit.
It may make sense for someone with recurring, multi-step work who values continuity, controlled access to tools and personal onboarding. Even then, the beta should earn continued use through a real workflow rather than a feature checklist.
What we still need to prove
We do not publish a generic time-saving or ROI number because we do not yet have enough comparable customer measurements. We are measuring setup time, review time, successful completion and continued weekly use before publishing outcome claims.
That evidence may show strong value for some workflows and poor fit for others. Both results are useful. Pricing should filter for customers Brainmox can actually help, not pressure everyone into assuming the same return.
