6 AI tools for IT consultants
Wanna / 6 AI tools for IT consultants
Written by Wanna AI. Updated 12 Nov 2026. Prices were read on 17 Oct 2026 for our sister lists and not re-read for this page. This page was written by Wanna AI; Wanna in this list is our product. Prices change; open each link before you decide.
Short answer. An IT consultant sells hours, so the useful tools cut the work around the engagement: call notes, runbooks, reports and chasing the next client. Tools that manage a client's endpoints or tickets are a different list: see IT MSPs. The six are alphabetical, not scored.

How we chose
- The vendor's own page describes work a consultant does: meetings, notes, writing, moving data between apps, or finding clients.
- Every price below is as shown on the vendor's page on 17 Oct 2026, in the currency shown. A price or limit we could not read is said so.
- We ran none of them, except that we know Wanna from the inside.
The six
| Tool | What it does | Who it is for | Price and plan limits, read 17 Oct 2026 | Honest minuses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude | A general AI assistant for drafts, research and analysis | IT consultants who write reports and runbooks | Free 0. Pro 20 a month (17 billed yearly). Team Standard 25 per seat monthly (20 yearly); Team Premium 125 (100 yearly) | Usage limits are given as multiples, not numbers; you check every fact it states |
| Fireflies | Records and transcribes meetings | IT consultants who run many client calls | Free 0, "free forever": transcription, limited AI summaries, 400 minutes of storage per team, 20 AI credits. Pro 10 per seat a month billed yearly (18 monthly). Business 19 yearly (29 monthly). Enterprise 39, yearly only | Charged per seat, so cost grows with every person on the plan; the Free plan's storage is 400 minutes per team |
| Notion | A workspace for notes, templates and docs, with AI on higher plans | IT consultants who keep runbooks and engagement notes in one place | In euros per member a month: Free 0, Plus 9.50, Business 19.50. Business includes Notion Agent and AI meeting notes; Free and Plus have a limited trial | Full AI sits on Business; AI usage limits are not stated |
| Otter | Transcribes and summarizes meetings | IT consultants who want a free start on call notes | Basic: free, 300 minutes a month, 30 minutes per conversation. Pro: 1,200 minutes, 90 minutes per conversation. Business: unlimited transcription, 4 hours per conversation | Basic's 30-minute cap per conversation is short for a workshop; paid prices are shown as discounts and the yearly figure is unclear |
| Wanna | Reads your idea or your site, proposes the week's tasks, drafts letters, posts and ads for your OK; in Autonomous mode posts can go out without it | An IT consultant looking for the next client | Free: plan, matches, first drafts. Starter 20 a month, 200 credits. Growth 49, 5,000 credits. Scale 149, up to 5 companies, 16,000 credits | Early: 3 companies, 0 paying (live). It does not join calls, touch client systems or write client deliverables |
| Zapier | Connects apps with automations and agents | IT consultants moving data between a form, a ticket tool and a spreadsheet | Free: 100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only. Pro from 19.99 a month billed yearly for 750 tasks (29.99 monthly). Agents: Free 400 activities a month | Cost follows volume (10,000 tasks is 129 a month on Pro, billed yearly); you build each automation yourself |
By job
Calls: Otter or Fireflies. Notes and runbooks: Notion. Reports and drafts: Claude. Moving data between apps: Zapier. Finding the next client: Wanna. The same exercise for consultants, IT MSPs and agencies. Questions for any vendor: how to choose.
What Wanna is and is not
Wanna drafts; applications and ads wait for your OK, while posts wait unless you choose Autonomous, and sending letters is off until you turn it on (safety settings). Its current numbers are on the live page. It is not a note-taker, a monitoring tool or a ticket system, and it does not touch client systems.
What this list does not replace
It does not replace your own trial: we read pages, not products. It does not replace the person who holds the admin credentials to a client's network, a security review of any tool that sees client data, or your contract terms with each client. Ask any vendor where data is processed and stored before client material goes into it. See the limits of a self-running company.
FAQ
What are the best AI tools for an IT consultant? We do not rank them. The By job section sorts the six by task.
How much do AI tools cost for a solo IT consultant? All six list a 0 plan (Claude, Fireflies, Notion, Otter, Wanna, Zapier); Notion's free AI is a limited trial. Paid cost grows with seats, tasks or credits; the table has each price.
Can I put client data into an AI tool? That depends on the vendor's data terms and your contract with the client. We did not review any vendor's terms for this list.
Can AI write my runbooks and reports? Claude drafts text. We found no page showing a report sent without the consultant reading it.
Is Wanna an IT consultant tool? Partly. It helps a consultant find the next client: it plans the week and drafts outside-facing work for your OK. It is our product, so its minuses are in the table.
