Chatbot Cost FAQ

Enterprise solutions with CRM integration, RAG, and multi-channel deployment cost €3,000–6,000+. These are one-time development costs. Monthly API and hosting costs range from €20 to €150.
How long does it take to build a chatbot?
A simple FAQ bot takes 2–3 weeks. An AI chatbot with integrations takes 3–4 weeks. Enterprise multi-channel chatbots take 4–6 weeks. This includes discovery, development, testing, and deployment. You see working demos every week.
What are the monthly costs of running a chatbot?
Rule-based bots: €20–40/month (hosting only). AI chatbots with GPT-4o: €50–150/month depending on conversation volume — roughly €0.01–0.03 per conversation. Open-source models like Llama or Mistral can reduce API costs to near zero but require more hosting.
Custom chatbot vs ChatGPT — which should I choose?
ChatGPT Plus costs €20/user/month but cannot access your business data, embed on your website, or integrate with your CRM. A custom chatbot costs €1,500–3,000 upfront + €30–100/month, is trained on your data, supports unlimited users, and works on your domain. For businesses with 50+ daily customer interactions, custom chatbots pay for themselves in 2–3 months.
What ROI can I expect from a chatbot?
Support chatbots typically automate 60–70% of tickets, saving €2,000–4,000/month in staff costs. E-commerce chatbots increase conversions by 20–35%. Lead generation bots qualify 3x more leads by working 24/7. Most businesses see full payback in 2–3 months.
Do I own the chatbot code?
