Key points
- Cost depends on what you connect, how clean your data is and how many teams are involved, not on the AI itself.
- Expect an ongoing cost after the build. AI needs looking after.
- Always ask for a written scope and price, and what the monthly fee includes.
- Our GBP prices are the source. The dollar figures below are approximate.

What drives the cost
| Driver | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Number of systems integrated | Each connection (email, messaging, a CRM, accounting software) adds build and testing time |
| Data quality | Tidy records are quick. Messy ones need sorting first |
| Compliance review | Regulated work needs extra checks, sign-off steps and a record |
| Volume | More messages, documents or bookings means more to build for and monitor |
| Number of teams | Each team works differently, so each adds design and rollout time |
Questions to ask any provider

- What does the monthly fee cover?
- Who owns what is built?
- Where is my data kept, and is it shared with other clients?
- What happens if I want to stop?
