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 one client's results (G-Solar), 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
One client, G-Solar, saw sales grow around 20-30% and admin drop around 40-50%. The sliders use the midpoints of that one result. Results vary by business.

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, a typical Complete implementation 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% one client, G-Solar, saw), 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.
Email marketing
IncludedReplaces a separate email marketing tool for sequences, newsletters and nurture.
SMS marketing
IncludedReplaces a separate SMS gateway - two-way text is native to every conversation.
Calls and receptionist
IncludedReplaces separate cloud phone tools and paid answering services, with AI agents on top.
Booking and calendars
IncludedReplaces a separate booking tool - appointments land straight in the same pipeline.
Reviews and reputation
IncludedReplaces a separate review platform for review requests, monitoring and display widgets.
Forms and surveys
IncludedReplaces a separate form builder - every submission flows into the CRM automatically.
Call notes and transcription
IncludedReplaces a separate call-notes tool - the AI Note Taker captures and summarises every call.
Funnels and landing pages
IncludedReplaces a separate landing page builder for campaign pages wired straight to your pipeline.
Keep the specialist tools that earn their place. OpenSolar or Pylon for design and Simpro, AroFlo or ServiceM8 for job management stay exactly where they are - Solar AI-Q integrates with them rather than replacing them.
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 one client, G-Solar, saw within approximately six months, driven by faster response and consistent follow-up.
Admin reduction: 45%
The midpoint of the 40-50% admin cut one client, G-Solar, saw, 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 typical Complete package figures - $695 a month plus a standard implementation, AUD ex GST. Your exact implementation cost is scoped on a Strategy Call; monthly pricing is on our pricing page.
The ranges come from one client's result, 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 one client's results (G-Solar). 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 - the separate CRM, email, SMS, phone, booking, review, form and call-notes tools many businesses pay for one by one.
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 - $497 per month plus a tailored one-off implementation - 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 one client's result, the G-Solar case study - admin down around 40-50% and sales up around 20-30% within approximately six months. They are one business's ranges, not promises, which is why the calculator uses the midpoints and says so.
