In short

Pick CleverTech if you need an agent wired into an ERP or accounting system such as Exact Online, SnelStart or Yuki, or a voice agent, and you want to cancel monthly from day one.

Pick AI Setups if you want no setup fee, a flat monthly price, and an agent in Slack, WhatsApp or email that asks a person to approve before anything goes out.

The main difference: CleverTech builds each agent as a project, with a setup fee and a monthly fee. AI Setups sets up ready-made agents and charges one price per agent, with no setup fee.

What CleverTech AI is, and where it shines

CleverTech is a custom-software agency from Sleeuwijk, founded in 2023 by Bram Dokman. Its agents handle invoice, order and contract processing, lead follow-up by email and WhatsApp with scoring, outbound sales, appointment booking and a voice agent. It also builds RPA for data entry. Each agent is a project: process analysis, configuration, a pilot with real tasks, then go-live with monitoring and monthly reporting.[1][3]

Where it shines is integration. CleverTech lists HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Exact Online, SnelStart, King, Unit4 Multivers, Nmbrs, Yuki, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Mollie, Stripe, WhatsApp Business, Teams and Slack. It states EU data centres in the Netherlands and Germany, offers on-premise or private cloud, and publishes an AI Act page. It also builds custom software, priced separately.[1][2][4][5]

What AI Setups is

AI Setups sets up ready-made AI agents for SMEs with 2 to 100 staff. We start with the Operations Agent, which answers questions about the business, writes reports and drafts routine work, and the Lead Gen Agent, which finds new B2B leads and writes personal emails every day.

We connect your systems, adapt the agent to how your business works and show your team how to use it. The agent works in Slack, WhatsApp and email, does the routine work and asks a person to approve before anything goes out. It costs €500 a month per agent, with a 3-month minimum and no setup fee.

Key differences

Who does the setup, and what it costs

CleverTech does the setup as a project. A basic agent is live in 1 to 2 weeks, an advanced agent in 2 to 4 weeks and an enterprise agent in 4 to 8 weeks, per CleverTech. Setup costs €2,500 for a basic agent and €4,500 for an advanced one.[1][2]

AI Setups also does the setup. We connect the systems, adapt the agent to how the business works and show the team how to use it, with no setup fee.

How you pay

CleverTech charges a one-time setup plus a monthly fee: €350 a month for a basic agent and €500 for an advanced one. It is cancellable monthly with no lock-in.[1]

AI Setups charges €500 a month per agent, with a 3-month minimum and no setup fee.

Where it works

CleverTech agents work through email, WhatsApp, phone, Microsoft Teams and Slack.[1]

AI Setups agents work in Slack, WhatsApp and email.

Control and approval

CleverTech agents escalate to a human when in doubt, and you decide what may run automatically. Approval of each sent sales proposal is optional, and confidence thresholds are standard.[1]

AI Setups agents do the routine work and ask a person to approve before anything goes out.

Data and hosting

CleverTech stores and processes data in the EU by default, with data centres in the Netherlands and Germany, and offers on-premise or private cloud. It says it is GDPR compliant and provides a DPA on request.[1][2]

At AI Setups, hosting and data are agreed per customer.

Pricing side by side

Published prices only, as shown on the date above. AI Setups prices are excl. VAT.

Example: a company with 10 staff

Over 12 months, one agent costs 2,500 + 12 × 350 = €6,700 at CleverTech (basic) or 4,500 + 12 × 500 = €10,500 (advanced).[1]

One AI Setups agent for 12 months costs 12 × 500 = €6,000, with a 3-month minimum. Prices excl. VAT. This is our calculation from published prices, and the scope of each agent differs, so check what is included.

When CleverTech AI is the better choice

  • You need a process wired into an ERP or accounting system such as Exact Online, SnelStart or Yuki.[1]
  • You need invoice, order or contract processing, or a voice agent for inbound and outbound calls.[1]
  • You want data kept in the EU with data centres in the Netherlands and Germany stated, or an on-premise option.[1][2]
  • You want to cancel monthly from day one, with the configuration handed over on request.[1]
  • You want a local developer who can also build custom software.[3][4]

When AI Setups is the better choice

  • You do not want a setup fee.
  • You want the agent in the chat your team uses, Slack or WhatsApp, asking approval before anything goes out.
  • You want a ready-made agent adapted to your business rather than a custom build.
  • You want a Dutch and Swedish team to talk to.

Switching, or using both

You do not have to choose one for everything. A team could use a built-to-order agent for a process wired into the accounting system and an AI Setups agent for reports or lead follow-up in Slack or WhatsApp.

If you move from CleverTech to AI Setups, start with the one process you rely on most. We set that agent up first; you keep your own tools and accounts.

Where we run this ourselves

We run the same agents in our own companies. The Operations Agent runs every day at Remodius, the ecommerce brand Jim runs, and the Lead Gen Agent runs our own outreach on Rasmus's tools ListFixer, MailSpot and Leadster.
