AI Agent Pricing

What does an AI agent actually cost?

Transparent pricing. No hidden fees. No per-user charges. No surprise bills. Retainers cover the integrations, hosting, monitoring, and ongoing optimization — AI provider costs (Anthropic API, model usage) run on your own account, at-cost.

— The variables

What affects AI agent pricing.

Number of Integrations

An agent that only needs to send emails costs less than one that connects to QuickBooks, your CRM, three scheduling platforms, and a custom database. Each MCP integration adds capability but also engineering time.

Complexity of Workflows

A follow-up sequence is simpler than a multi-step construction estimating engine that references historical pricing, crew rates, and active bids. More complex decision-making means more engineering up front.

Number of Agents

Standalone gets you one focused agent. Pro and Tech Department deployments involve multiple agents that work together — a front-desk agent that hands off to a billing agent that coordinates with a scheduling agent.

Infrastructure Needs

Hosted on our infrastructure? Self-hosted on your premises? Dedicated hardware installed at your location? Each option has different cost implications. We recommend the best fit during discovery.

Ongoing Management

All retainers include monitoring, updates, and optimization. Higher tiers include more proactive optimization, new automation buildout, and dedicated account management.

— Every retainer

One bill. Everything inside.

— 01

All software and AI costs

Email APIs, CRM connectors, and the standard tooling your agent needs to do its job — configured and maintained as part of the retainer. AI provider costs (Anthropic API, model usage) run on your own account, at-cost. You keep ownership.

— 02

Infrastructure hosting

Your agent runs on hardware we own and maintain. Installed on-site or managed remotely. Yours to keep if we part ways.

— 03

Security and monitoring

Encrypted connections, token authentication, social engineering protection, 24/7 uptime monitoring. Always on.

— 04

Performance optimization

Your agents get smarter over time. New model releases, workflow refinements, accuracy tuning. Continuous improvement, not a static build.

— 05

Human support

Email, phone, or direct line depending on tier. Real people answering real questions. Founder-led for Tech Department.

— 06

No per-user fees

Add team members without adding cost. No overage charges, no per-message pricing, no surge fees. The retainer is the retainer.

— Flexible rates

Hourly and enterprise options.

— Under retainer
$150/hr

Custom development, integrations, consulting, and optimization work for existing retainer clients. Billed in 30-minute increments.

— Standard
$200/hr

Ad-hoc work outside a package. Custom builds, one-time integrations, consulting engagements.

— Emergency
$250/hr

Urgent fixes, weekend deployments, and time-critical work. Same-day response guaranteed.

For businesses that need ongoing AI development, optimization, and support beyond a single project — enterprise retainers start at $2,500+/mo. Scoped during discovery based on automation needs, number of agents, and support requirements. Book a call to discuss.

— The real question

It is not what it costs. It is what it returns.

If you are losing 5 leads per week to missed calls at $500 average ticket — that is $130,000 per year in lost revenue. A $3,500 Starter setup plus $750/mo retainer costs $12,500 in year one. That is a 10:1 ROI.

If your office manager spends 20 hours a week on tasks that could be automated, and you are paying them $25/hour — that is $26,000 per year in manual labor for work an AI agent handles for a fraction of the cost.

The real question is not “what does an AI agent cost?” — it is “what is the cost of not having one?”

Every business is different.
Book the call and we will scope yours.

Thy will be automated.
