Novi Software Firm Moonello Posts Flat Prices for AI Work

NOVI, Mich. — Moonello, a Novi software company, is turning its attention to artificial intelligence and engineering work for mid-size businesses, and it is now listing what each job will cost before a client signs on.

The firm has rolled out four set packages. Each carries a flat fee that is agreed on before any work starts, and each can be bought by itself.

The cheapest entry point is a review of software a company wrote for its own use, including tools made with help from AI coding programs. Pricing for a one-module review begins at $3,500, with results in roughly two weeks.

A second package makes Moonello the standing engineering crew behind homegrown or vendor-built software, handling security, monitoring, backups and documentation. Short cleanup sprints start at $10,000, and monthly support starts at $2,500.

For companies that want AI without sending their data outside, the firm sets up a private assistant inside the client’s own cloud account. A trial version costs $15,000, while a full rollout costs $75,000 and takes 90 days.

The fourth option replaces aging business software piece by piece while the old system stays online. Planning starts at $7,500, and most build stages fall between $25,000 and $60,000.

Company president and founder Matt Trueblood said the push is about making sure software that gets built quickly is also safe and dependable enough to run a business, and that posting prices lets buyers know the cost up front.

Moonello says money spent on early steps can be credited toward later ones. Clients keep ownership of the custom code built for them and pay no licensing fees to the company for it.

Recent projects include a scheduling and dispatch platform for a national telecom inspection company and an AI search tool that lets a Michigan restaurant equipment firm pull up decades of records by asking plain questions.

Moonello is at 41650 Gardenbrook Rd., Suite 180, in Novi.
