Pricing
Can't afford AI? Come anyway.
AI firms quote enterprise rates. That doesn't work for a 3-truck carrier, a broker who just got their authority, or a manufacturing shop running on tight margins. Carso runs two pricing paths — a free quarterly engagement through T.A.T.T.O.O. Foundation, and a sliding fee for paid engagements scaled to your company size.
Same engineers at every tier. Same signed contract. Same written acceptance criteria. The difference is what you pay — and we set that together, in a conversation, not on a spreadsheet.
Blue Collar AI™ Access
One free engagement. Every quarter.
Once per quarter, Carso takes on one client at no cost — referred by T.A.T.T.O.O. Foundation. Same engineers. Same software. Fully free for the qualified recipient.
Carso also contributes directly to T.A.T.T.O.O. Foundation through charitable donations that fund their advocacy for labor-trafficked truckers.
If you qualify through T.A.T.T.O.O., you don't pay for Carso. If you know somebody who needs this, send them there.

Paid engagements — three tiers
Which tier fits you.
For paid engagements, the tier you qualify for is based on revenue, fleet size, and mission alignment. We confirm which applies on the scoping call.
Mission tier
Small carriers under 3 trucks, new-authority brokers, startups under $1M revenue, mission-aligned nonprofits.
The lowest end of our scale. We built Carso to make AI accessible to the operators who need it most — not the ones who can afford enterprise rates.
Independent tier
Owner-operators, mid-sized trades, service businesses, manufacturing shops, and ag operations under $5M revenue.
Market-aware pricing that still respects your margins. Fixed scope, real software, clear acceptance criteria. No enterprise bloat, no six-figure minimums.
Operator tier
Fleets with 10+ trucks, larger service businesses, mid-market manufacturers, and freight companies scaling up.
Standard market rates. Same fixed-scope approach, same written guarantees, same operator-minded engineering — just at the scale larger operations need.
The process
Priced in one call.
Tell us your size.
Revenue bracket. Fleet size if trucking. Headcount. How you operate. Fifteen minutes on a call — no forms, no intake-agent.
We match you to a tier.
Mission, Independent, or Operator. We tell you which applies and why. If you think we've got it wrong, we talk it through.
We quote your work.
Fixed price at your tier. Fixed scope. Signed SOW. Every engagement ends with 30 days of operating support.
What you get
Same engineers. Same software. Every tier.
We don't give Mission-tier clients the second-string team. Same FMCSA-trained model. Same production stack. Same acceptance criteria. The only thing that flexes is the price.
Let's figure out your tier.
Fifteen minutes on a call. We'll ask the three questions that determine your tier, tell you honestly what your engagement would cost, and you decide.
