Comparison between AI and traditional systems

AI solutions for businesses offer an advanced alternative to traditional systems, enabling process automation, improved decision-making, and reduced operational costs. According to a study by the Spanish Technology Association, approximately 75% of Spanish SMEs are considering implementing artificial intelligence in sectors such as hospitality, education, and import/export. In tech districts like 22@ in Barcelona and the Chamartín tech corridor in Madrid, greater adoption of these technologies is observed.

When comparing AI implementations with conventional SaaS solutions such as Trello, Pipedrive, Salesforce, or Monday.com, costs can vary significantly. Integrations and adaptations of existing tools typically range between €8,000 and €25,000 for medium-complexity projects. Meanwhile, custom developments of applications with AI components, such as intelligent ERPs or AI agents, usually fall between €30,000 and €200,000 depending on scope, integrations, and security requirements. Developing a custom application can cost between €20,000 and €120,000, and many technical developers charge between €40 and €120 per hour. In Barcelona, development projects report average ranges of €25,000 to €90,000, while in Madrid these ranges typically rise to €30,000 to €110,000 due to higher demand and local costs.

Choosing between a SaaS solution and a custom AI platform depends on objectives, scalability, and data control. Companies that require specific workflows, integration with existing ERPs, or greater control over models prefer custom software and AI agents, while those prioritizing deployment speed may opt for SaaS suites complemented with AI components.
