How Much Does Business AI Cost?
There is no single price for custom business AI. An estimate-intake workflow and a custom platform connecting estimating, orders and production are different scopes. Our managed website packages have published prices; custom software and AI integrations require a scope-specific estimate.
Cost components
- Discovery and process analysis
- Software development
- Integration with existing systems
- AI model / API usage
- Hosting
- Databases and storage
- Third-party software
- Monitoring
- Maintenance
- Support
Ongoing AI usage, in plain language
Many AI API services charge based on usage — roughly, by how much text or how many documents the system sends and receives. Cost depends on the provider, model, document size, processing stages and volume, as well as hosting and support. Estimate it from the actual workflow, set limits, and review prices periodically; a small request count alone does not establish a low total cost.
Published website packages and scoped custom work
Our managed website service publishes three package prices and their inclusions. Those package prices are not a universal price for custom construction software, integrations or AI automation. We scope that work around your operation, systems, access and approval requirements. Describe the workflow first so the estimate reflects what will actually be built.
