What is Solar AI-Q actually worth to your business

Four sliders, two minutes, and the full working shown. The maths is deliberately conservative, uses the midpoints of results seen across clients, and counts the software you already pay for - so the answer means something.

All figures AUD ex GST. Results vary by business.

Put your numbers in

Three ways the same system pays for itself

  • Sales lift on the enquiries you already get - no lead buying assumed
  • Admin hours handed back to the system, valued at $35 per hour
  • Software subscriptions you switch off when one platform does the lot

Clients have seen sales lift 20-30% and admin drop 40-50%. The sliders use the midpoints. Results vary by business.

Count everything the platform replaces - CRM, email, SMS, booking, reviews, forms, call notes. Full list below.

Extra sales revenue $12,000 at a 25% sales lift, midpoint of the 20-30% client range
Admin cost back $1,364 39 hours a month returned, valued at $35 per hour
Software switched off $300 your own figure, passed straight through

Worth an extra $13,664 a month, without hiring more staff

Against the Complete package at $695 a month, that is about 20 times the subscription.

On these numbers, the $4,900 setup would cover itself in about 2 weeks.

Indicative only. Assumes a 10% baseline close rate on current enquiries, a 25% sales lift from faster response and follow-up (midpoint of the 20-30% range seen across clients), a 45% admin reduction (midpoint of 40-50%) valued at $35 per hour, and 4.33 weeks per month. Software savings are your own input. Package pricing AUD ex GST. Actual results vary with market, offer and pricing.

One platform, one bill

The software stack you can switch off

Solar AI-Q runs on one platform that already does what a stack of single-purpose tools does separately. Whatever you pay across these categories today is money the software slider hands straight back.

Replaces the likes of HubSpot, Pipedrive and Zoho for lead and deal management.

Counted conservatively

What the sliders deliberately leave out

The calculator only counts three things. These four are real upside for most businesses, and none of them are in the total above.

After-hours enquiries

Leads that land at 9pm currently ring out or wait until morning. With every enquiry answered in seconds, day and night, many become jobs you never used to win at all.

Missed call recovery

Every unanswered call gets an instant text back that opens a conversation instead of a dead end. Run your own numbers with our missed call guide.

Database reactivation

Maria works your old quotes and dormant contacts by voice and text - revenue from people you already paid to reach once. See how reactivation works.

Reviews that compound

Every happy install gets asked for a review at the right moment. A stronger review profile lifts the trust of every future enquiry before you ever speak to them.

Show the working

Every assumption, in the open

Most ROI calculators hide their assumptions because they would not survive daylight. Here is every number this one uses.

Baseline close rate: 10%

We assume one in ten of your current enquiries already becomes a job before any improvement. If your close rate is higher, your upside grows with it.

Sales lift: 25%

The midpoint of the 20-30% sales growth seen across clients within approximately six months, driven by faster response and follow-up that never forgets.

Admin reduction: 45%

The midpoint of the 40-50% admin cut seen across clients, valued at $35 per hour of loaded team cost and 4.33 weeks per month.

Software spend: your number

Passed straight through with no assumptions. We do not guess what you pay - you tell the slider, and the list above shows what qualifies.

Package cost: published, not hidden

The comparison uses the Complete package at $4,900 setup plus $695 a month, AUD ex GST - the same figures published in full on our pricing page.

The ranges come from real client results, anchored by the G-Solar case study. Results vary by business.

FAQ

Fair questions about the maths

Are these numbers guaranteed?

No, and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. They are indicative, built on conservative assumptions and the midpoints of results seen across clients. Results vary by business - bring your numbers to a Strategy Call and we will pressure-test them together.

What does Pipereply actually replace?

Typically your CRM, email marketing, SMS platform, booking tool, review management, forms, call notes and funnel builder - tools like HubSpot, Mailchimp, Aircall, Calendly, Podium, Typeform and Fireflies.

Your design software (OpenSolar or Pylon) and job management platform (Simpro, AroFlo or ServiceM8) stay - Solar AI-Q integrates with them instead of replacing them.

What if my enquiry volume is small?

The leaks are proportional - slow replies and unchased quotes cost a 20-enquiry business the same share of revenue as a 200-enquiry one. The Core package at $2,500 setup plus $497 per month exists exactly for smaller operations, and the 14-day free trial means the maths gets tested on your pipeline, not a spreadsheet.

Where do the 20-30% and 40-50% figures come from?

From results across Pipereply clients, anchored by the G-Solar case study - admin down 40-50% and sales up 20-30% within approximately six months. They are ranges, not promises, which is why the calculator uses the midpoints and says so.
