How much AI development costs in 2026
AI builds start at $4,500 and most land at $6,000-26,000, plus $60-3,000 a month to run. Costs by project type, the drivers, and how to read a quote.
Cost guides
What AI systems cost to build and run, with our rates and market ranges labelled apart.
Two guides on what AI work costs. AI builds with us start at $4,500 and most land at $6,000-26,000, plus $60-3,000 a month to run; a production AI agent across the market typically costs $15,000-60,000. Both guides show the arithmetic behind the numbers, what drives them up, and how to tell whether a quote is honest. Every figure is labelled as either our published rate or a market-wide range.
What AI agents actually cost to build in 2026
A production AI agent costs $15,000-60,000 to build and $200-3,000 a month to run. The arithmetic for four project shapes, and what actually drives it.
