AI Agent Pricing
Ready-made from our templates, or custom-built from scratch. Own it or subscribe. You'll know the price before we build.
Two ways to build
Ready-made from our templates, or custom-built from scratch
Start from one of our agent templates and launch fast, or have our full-stack developers build exactly what your business needs. Either way, you can own it or subscribe.
Ready-Made Agents
Built from our agent templates, then set up with your business details, tone, rules and tools and tested on your real situations before launch.
from $1,500 to own
or $500 setup + from $149/mo on Subscribe-to-Own
- Scout: own from $1,500, or $500 setup + from $149/mo
- Specialist: own from $3,500, or $1,000 setup + from $299/mo

- 34 agent templates across 7 squads, each tested on your setup before it goes live

Custom-Built Agents
Your workflow doesn't fit a template? Our full-stack developers design, build and test an agent around exactly how your business runs.
from $4,000 per custom build
Monthly Subscribe-to-Own options quoted in your Blueprint
- Single custom workflow: from $4,000

Prices are starting points and can change. Your Agent Blueprint confirms scope and price in writing before work begins.
What you own
Your agent is yours. Our engine stays ours, so we can keep prices fair.
This is the standard way software builders work, and we think it's the fairest. Here's exactly how it splits.
| Yours | Ours |
|---|---|
| Your agent's setup: knowledge, rules, tone, approvals and connections | The general engine and reusable templates every agent runs on |
| All of your data and everything your agent produces | Our methods, testing tools and know-how |
| A permanent license to run your ready-made agent | The right to build similar agents for others, never using your data or anything specific to your business |
| On custom builds, the custom code written for you, outright | Third-party tools and AI models follow their own terms |
Why it works this way
Reusable templates are why ready-made costs less
Because a ready-made agent starts from a template we've already engineered, you pay for setup and testing, not invention. That's how an AI Receptionist can start at $3,500 to own instead of a five-figure custom build.
And when you need something truly yours, custom builds give you full ownership of the custom work. Many businesses mix both: ready-made agents for the common jobs, one custom agent for the thing that makes them different.
Where every army starts
The Agent Blueprint: $750, credited toward your build
Before any build, we map your week, your tools and the jobs worth handing off. You get a written plan you keep, whether or not you build with us.
- Where your hours go, and which agents give the most back first
- Ready-made, custom, or a mix, and why
- Each agent's job, limits and approval checkpoints
- Your deployment scope and price, in writing
- A wave-by-wave rollout plan and timeline
Move forward within 60 days and the full $750 is credited toward your build.
The honest part
Why we quote development, and scope deployment separately
Building an agent is something we can price up front. Plugging it into your world is different.
Development: priced up front
Designing the agent's job, writing its instructions and rules, building its tools and testing it against real scenarios. This is what the starting prices and the Factory estimate cover.
Deployment: scoped after the Blueprint
Connecting your phone system, CRM, inbox, calendar and payment tools, setting permissions, cleaning data and training your team. One business has three tools; another has fourteen. You get a written scope and price before anything starts.
Pick your level of help
| Level | What we do | What you do | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Done-For-You | Build, deploy, monitor and tune your agents (Agent Care) | Approve the plan, approve sensitive actions | Owners who want it handled |
| Co-Pilot | Build the agents and guide your team through deployment | Your team connects tools with our playbook | Teams with an in-house tech person |
| Handoff | Deliver configured agents with full documentation | Deploy and run them yourselves | Technical teams and agencies |
Run the math
Own it vs. Subscribe-to-Own over time
One ready-made Specialist agent at starting prices: owning it with Agent Care versus Subscribe-to-Own. Lower upfront cost or lower long-run cost. Pick what fits your cash flow.
Squad volume pricing
Agents that share tools, data and setup cost less to build together. Estimated savings on ready-made build and setup fees: 10% at 5–9 agents, 15% at 10–24, 20% at 25+. Monthly rates see 5%, 10% and 15%.
Copies scale cheaply
The same agent for another location or team? Extra copies of an agent you already have are estimated at 50% of the build or setup fee, or 70% of the monthly rate. Franchises and multi-location teams can run thousands of copies, rolled out in waves.
Usage, at cost
AI model usage, phone minutes and third-party software are billed at cost or run on your own accounts. No markup games. Your Blueprint estimates them for your volume.
Ready-made ranks

Frequently asked questions
How much does an AI agent cost?
Ready-made agents start at $1,500 to own for a Scout, $3,500 for a Specialist and $7,500 for a Commander. On Subscribe-to-Own they start at $149, $299 or $599 per month plus a one-time setup fee of $500, $1,000 or $1,500. Custom-built agents start at $4,000 for a single workflow.
What is the difference between ready-made and custom-built agents?
Ready-made agents start from our agent templates, then get set up with your business details, rules and tools and tested on your real situations, so they launch faster and cost less. Custom-built agents are designed and coded from scratch by our full-stack developers for workflows that don't fit a template.
Do I own my AI agent?
Yes. You own your agent's setup, all of your data and everything it produces, with a permanent license to run it. On custom builds, the custom code written for you is yours outright. We keep only our general engine and reusable templates.
Will you reuse my agent for other businesses?
We reuse our general engine and templates, which is what keeps ready-made agents affordable. We never reuse your data, your settings or anything specific to your business.
What is Subscribe-to-Own?
Instead of a large build fee, you pay a small one-time setup fee and a monthly price per agent for a 2 to 4 year term, with monitoring, tuning and updates included. You then have the option to buy the agent out at fair market value.
Why is deployment priced separately?
Deployment depends on your phone system, CRM, inbox, calendar, permissions and data, and that varies widely between businesses. We scope it during the Agent Blueprint and give you a written price before any work starts.
Are there ongoing usage costs?
Yes. AI model usage, phone minutes and third-party software are billed at cost or run on your own accounts. Your Blueprint estimates these based on your expected volume.
