Pricing Models

AI agent pricing follows three common models:

1. Subscription (Most Common)

Fixed monthly fee for the AI agent and support. Predictable costs, easy to budget. Most Greene Solutions implementations use this model.

2. Usage-Based

Pay per conversation, transaction, or API call. Better for variable volumes. Costs scale with usage—can spike unexpectedly during busy periods.

3. Custom Development

One-time build fee + lower ongoing costs. Higher upfront ($10,000-50,000), lower monthly ($500-2,000). Best for businesses planning long-term use.

Hidden Costs to Consider

  • Integration work: $2,000-10,000 for custom connections
  • Training data: $500-2,000 for quality training sets
  • API usage: Variable costs from AI providers
  • Maintenance: Typically 15-20% of implementation cost annually

ROI Timeline

Based on Greene Solutions client data:

  • Customer service automation: 3-6 months to break even
  • Lead qualification: 4-8 months
  • Administrative automation: 6-12 months
  • Complex process automation: 8-14 months

Average ROI: 340% in first year.

Cost vs. Value

An AI agent that costs $2,000/month but saves 40+ hours of manual work at $50/hour pays for itself in one month:

  • 40 hours × $50/hour = $2,000/month saved
  • Agent cost: $2,000/month
  • Net savings: $22,000/year (after accounting for time equivalent)
