The Problem with Buying AI Today
Let’s be honest: most AI vendors aren’t selling transformation. They’re selling tricks.
Here’s what they don’t tell you until after you sign:
- Fine print guarantees — “time saved” or “productivity hours” that never hit your P&L.
- Bloated contracts — 6–12 month lock-ins with no way out, even if nothing works.
- Pilot theater — shiny demos that never survive in real workflows.
- Hidden fees — training, integrations, “customization packages” that balloon costs.
That’s not partnership. That’s robbery with a smile.
How Studio98 Does It Differently
We built S98.ai for SMBs, which means:
- No fine print. Our guarantee is dollars or nothing. If you don’t see hard ROI in 30 days, we cut you a check for 125%. Period.
- No lock-ins. Our pilots run 30 days. Keep if it works. Cancel if it doesn’t. Simple.
- No fake numbers. We don’t pad ROI with “time saved” that never shows up in your bank account. We measure dollars in, dollars out.
- No hidden fees. What you see is what you pay. And if it doesn’t work, you don’t just get a refund — you get paid back more than you spent.
Why This Matters for SMBs
SMBs live without a safety net. You can’t afford to gamble on snake oil. Every dollar matters. Every month counts.
That’s why our model looks nothing like the rest of the industry. It’s not because we’re reckless. It’s because we’re confident enough in our work to put our own skin in the game.
Competitors Won’t Follow Us Here
And here’s the test: if your current AI vendor won’t put their fees on the line with a real guarantee, ask yourself why.
- Maybe they know their pilots don’t cross into production.
- Maybe they know their “ROI” is just hours on a spreadsheet.
- Maybe they know they can’t actually prove anything.
If they believed in their work, they’d back it up like we do.
Where Studio98 Fits
We’re not asking you to take our word for it. We’re asking you to test us for 30 days, measure the results, and keep or kill based on dollars.
That’s how business should be done. No fine print. No lock-in. No snake oil.
Our 30-Day ROI Guarantee
If your Performance Dashboard doesn’t show hard-dollar cash gains by Day 30, you get a 125% refund. No fine print. No “time saved” fluff. Just dollars back.
We don’t do theory. We do proof.
