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 data across 17 trade divisions. More complex decision-making = more engineering up front.
Number of Agents
Standalone gets you one focused agent. Growth and Enterprise 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? Each option has different cost implications. We'll 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.

The ROI Question
The real question isn't "what does an AI agent cost?" It's "what is the cost of NOT having one?"
If you're losing 5 leads per week to missed calls at $500 average ticket = $130,000/year in lost revenue. A $2,500 Starter setup + $500/mo retainer = $8,500/year. That's a 15:1 ROI.
If your office manager spends 20 hours/week on tasks that could be automated, and you're paying them $25/hour = $26,000/year in manual labor costs for work an AI agent handles for $6,000/year.
