What this actually costs
A floor for each service, and the band most projects land in. Published so you can rule us in or out before spending time on a call — the exact number comes after one.
Prices in USD. The first column is the floor for a scoped build; the second is where most projects land. Bigger scopes are quoted above that band — the fixed number comes after the discovery call.
| Service | What the floor covers | Starts from | Most projects |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI chatbot | Website widget or WhatsApp, CRM handoff, launch support | $199 | $199 – $1,600 |
| AI assistant | Trained on your documents, deployed on one channel | $699 | $699 – $4,000 |
| RAG knowledge system | Ingestion, retrieval, evaluation harness, one interface | $999 | $999 – $6,500 |
| AI voice agent | Scoped per call volume, telephony and integrations | On scope | After the call |
| n8n automation | Per workflow — logic, integrations, monitoring, retries | $149 | $149 – $1,000 |
| Custom internal tool | First working release, then weekly iterations | $599 | $599 – $4,500 |
| Website | Next.js, technical SEO and analytics configured | $399 | $399 – $3,200 |
| Mobile app | Flutter or React Native, both stores, submission handled | $1,499 | $1,499 – $8,000 |
| Packaging & label design | Per label — print-ready artwork with source files | $199 | $199 – $800 |
| SaaS / web platform | Quoted per phase — first usable release, then extended | On scope | After the call |
| Cloud & DevOps | Audit, migration or retainer — scoped to your setup | On scope | After the call |
| Offshore engineer | Full-time, dedicated, your hours and your tools | $1,999 / month | $1,999 – $4,500 |
| Running costs | Model usage and hosting for a live AI system, billed by the providers | $29 / month | $29 – $300 |
Two rate cards, because an offshore rate and a domestic one are genuinely different numbers rather than the same figure run through an exchange rate. Fixed-price work is billed against agreed milestones; dedicated engineers are billed monthly from $1,999 per person.
The second column is not a maximum. A build with more channels, deeper integrations, several languages or compliance requirements is quoted above it — we would rather scope that properly on a call than publish a number that fits nobody.
What moves the number
Scope of knowledge
A bot answering twenty fixed questions is a different project from one answering across four hundred pages of documentation. This is most of the spread between our cheapest and most expensive AI work.
Depth of integration
Answering is cheap. Booking a slot, writing to your CRM, checking live stock or taking a payment means working with systems that each have their own auth, limits and failure modes.
Number of channels
A website widget is the cheapest surface. Official WhatsApp adds business verification and template approval; voice adds telephony. Each is incremental, none is free.
How much accuracy must be proven
For a marketing site, careful testing is enough. In finance, health or anywhere a wrong answer carries liability, you need an evaluation set, review workflows and audit logging — and that is the right work to pay for.
Pricing questions
How much does an AI chatbot or assistant cost?
A production AI chatbot starts around $199 for a scoped build, and most chatbot projects land between $199 – $1,600 once channels and integrations are counted, with hosting and model usage from about $29 a month depending on volume. An assistant trained on your own documents starts around $699, and a full RAG knowledge system around $999, because ingestion and evaluation take real work. A single n8n automation starts around $149. We quote a fixed price after the discovery call, so you know the number before anything is built.
We are a small team, not an enterprise. Is AI actually worth it for us?
It is worth it wherever a specific task repeats. If your team answers the same forty customer questions a day, re-keys orders between a website and your accounting tool, or spends evenings building quotations, that is where automation pays back within a couple of months. If nothing in your business repeats at volume, we will tell you AI is the wrong spend right now.
How much does packaging or label design cost?
Label and pouch design starts around $199 per label, delivered print-ready with the source files, and most engagements land between $199 – $800 depending on how many SKUs and pack sizes the range covers. A full range works out lower per SKU, because the first pack sets the panel system — type, colour, badge and declaration positions — and every flavour or pack size after that is applied to it rather than designed from scratch.

Not sure which line you are looking at?
Most people arrive with a symptom rather than a service. Describe it on the call and we will tell you which of the fourteen actually fixes it — and what it costs.
