Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to build an AI chatbot?

The cost depends on several factors: the type of chatbot (FAQ, support, sales, e-commerce), the AI model powering it, the number of integrations, and the conversation complexity. A simple rule-based FAQ bot starts at around EUR 400-600, while a full-featured AI chatbot with CRM integration and multiple platforms typically costs EUR 1,500-4,000. Use the calculator above to get a personalized estimate.

What are the monthly running costs of an AI chatbot?

Monthly costs include hosting (EUR 20-40/month) and AI API usage. Rule-based bots have minimal ongoing costs. AI-powered bots using GPT-4o or Claude typically cost EUR 50-150/month in API fees depending on conversation volume. Open-source models like Llama require a dedicated server (EUR 40-100/month) but have no per-request API costs.

How long does it take to build a custom chatbot?

Timeline varies by complexity. A basic FAQ bot takes 1-2 weeks. A standard AI chatbot with a couple of integrations takes 3-5 weeks. Complex enterprise solutions with multiple platforms, CRM sync, analytics, and custom training can take 6-10 weeks. I provide a detailed timeline estimate after the initial discovery call.
