Two costs, not one
Every chatbot has two kinds of cost. Mixing them up is why quotes feel confusing.
- Setup (one-time): building the bot, training it on your products and FAQs, and connecting it to your website or WhatsApp.
- Running (ongoing): the AI usage itself, hosting, and — if you use WhatsApp — the official WhatsApp Business API conversation charges.
What actually drives the price
- How smart it needs to be. A bot that answers FAQs and captures leads is far cheaper than one that reasons over your full catalogue and policies.
- Where it lives. A website widget is the simplest. WhatsApp adds the official API. Both together cost a little more.
- Integrations. Connecting to your CRM, sending payment links, or booking appointments each add work.
- Languages. English-only is simplest; Hindi and Hinglish support is very doable and usually a small addition.
- Volume. Running cost scales with how many conversations you have — a busy store pays more than a quiet one, but it's usually small per chat.
Three honest tiers
Most small businesses fall into one of these:
- Simple FAQ + lead capture: answers common questions, collects name and number. The most affordable, and enough for many businesses.
- Sales assistant: recommends products, handles multilingual chat, pushes leads into your CRM.
- Full operations bot: payments, bookings, order status, deep integrations. The most capable — and the most involved to build.
We don't publish a single sticker price because quoting blind would either overcharge a simple need or underdeliver on a complex one. After a 20-minute call we give you a fixed quote — no surprises.
How to keep it affordable
Start with the simple tier. Solve the one thing costing you customers — usually slow replies — then add capability only when the bot has already paid for itself.
