Pricing
CustomVic.ai does not publish self-serve pricing; it sells an enterprise Autonomous Finance Platform under custom, quote-based contracts. Core AP automation features are bundled into a fixed monthly platform fee, with transaction-based (per-invoice) pricing layered on top in volume tiers that carry discounts as invoice volume grows. Third-party marketplace listings note Vic.ai has been shown with a free-trial or pilot option for teams testing automation before committing to a paid contract, and G2/SoftwareSuggest listings confirm no public entry-level price is disclosed. For context, manual invoice processing typically costs $10 to $15 per invoice, while Vic.ai customers report costs dropping to roughly $1 to $2 per invoice after implementation, which the company positions as the basis of its ROI case; exact quotes depend on invoice volume, ERP complexity, and number of entities. Prospective buyers must request a demo or quote directly from Vic.ai's sales team for current figures.
