From 450 USD payroll to $21 workforce: the math

A simple cost model that shows why small businesses are switching from hiring to AI teams.

OctaSpote is an AI Workforce platform for small businesses.

The real cost of one employee

Salary, insurance, training, management time — a single hire easily exceeds 450 USD per month before it delivers anything.

The $21 alternative

The same daily roles — reception, content, campaigns, follow-ups — covered by a coordinated AI team for $21 per month. The math is simple because the roles are the same.
