What does it cost to run an AI feature every month?
Short answer
Running a production AI agent with real users costs $1,500 to $6,000 per month. That covers models, infrastructure, monitoring and monthly tuning.
The longer version
The build is the smaller number. An AI feature has a bill every month it is switched on, and a budget that ignores that is a budget that runs out in month four.
Our range is $1,500 to $6,000 per month.
Models, infrastructure, monitoring and monthly tuning. The market benchmark for a production agent with real users is $3.2k-$13k a month; ours is lower because we do not resell model capacity.
We put a cost and latency budget on every request from the first week, so the monthly bill is a number you set rather than a number you discover.
