More on AI Chatbot Pricing
The price rises with three things: how many systems it reads from, how many channels it runs on, and how much your content needs preparing before it can answer from it. A chatbot that answers from a clean help center sits near the starting price. One that reads order data and writes tickets into a helpdesk sits higher, because each connection is built and tested.
A chatbot answers. When the job is to act, such as booking, scoring a lead or updating a record, it is an agent. See AI chatbot development for what we build.

More on AI Agent Pricing
The sales agent is sold as one flow or one module at a time: lead generation, qualification and scoring, appointment booking, CRM sync, and the follow-up sequence. Take the module your process is missing and leave the rest; each is priced in your quote.
Agents built from scratch for other work, such as document review or internal operations, are scoped first. The quote names every tool the agent may use, what it may change, and where it must ask a person, and the price is fixed against that list. See the AI Sales Agent and AI agent development.

- What it is
- Integrations that enable AI to collaborate with your current software, data, and tools.

More on AI Integration Pricing
Price depends on the number of systems, how much data moves between them, and whether the AI only reads or also writes. Each integration is named in your quote before work starts.

More on AI Automation Pricing

Pricing Models
How Custom AI Pricing Compares
Compare the ways to pay for AI. LoopHawk builds custom solutions that include a project price and also offers ongoing support.
| Model | How you pay | What you own | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-time custom build (LoopHawk) | One-time project price, confirmed in your written quote | Custom code, prompts, evaluation set and agreed deliverables | Companies that require custom workflows and control over their AI solution. |
| Monthly chatbot subscription | Pay a recurring monthly or per-seat fee | Access to provider's platform, proprietary to its terms | Businesses that require a fast and easy installation with basic options. |
| Usage-based platform | Pay for each conversation, resolution or usage | Access to the platform on the provider's conditions. | Businesses whose AI usage varies over time |
| Optional support | If you opt for ongoing support, you'll pay a monthly fee. | Your custom build remains covered by the original ownership terms | Teams that require maintenance, monitoring or further enhancements |
At low usage, a subscription may cost less. Some companies might require custom build, which can provide more control over the solution and deeper integrations and workflows. We will help you to compare them according to your needs.

FAQ
Common Questions about AI pricing
The questions buyers ask before they book, answered with the same numbers as the price list above.
What will a custom AI chatbot cost you?
A custom AI chatbot starts from $3,500 as a one-time build. It takes three weeks without integrations and six with them. The model usage after launch runs on your own account, so you see that bill directly.
Where do LoopHawk AI agent prices start?
From $6,000. Our most requested build, the AI Sales Agent, goes live on your own data in four weeks. If your agent has to work across several systems, you get a fixed written quote before any work begins.
Fixed project or hourly engineers: how can you pay?
Choose a project with a set price, starting from $3,500, or hire AI engineers from $35 an hour. Monthly support and maintenance is optional, and you never pay a subscription or a per-conversation fee.
Do you charge a monthly fee or per conversation?
No. You pay once for the build and own the result. The only recurring costs are the AI model usage and hosting on your own accounts, plus optional support if you want our team to keep tuning it.
What do you get for the price in your quote?
You get the build itself, every integration listed in your scope, testing against an evaluation set, a runbook, the handover of your code, prompts and keys, and two weeks of daily monitoring once you’re live. Want something outside the scope? We price it first, and nothing starts until you approve it.
How much does AI cost per month after launch?
It depends on conversation volume and the model you choose. Usage is billed by the model provider to your own account, and hosting usually sits on infrastructure you already pay for. Your quote states the expected monthly figure in writing.
Does a custom build cost less than a chatbot subscription?
At low volume, a subscription often costs less and starts faster. As conversations grow, per-seat and per-resolution fees add up, while a custom build stays a one-time cost plus usage. We tell you which side of that line you are on.
