Your AI budget depends on more than just development. Here’s what actually drives the price.
Data, cloud infrastructure, model training, integrations, security—the costs can stack up fast.
Small projects: $20K–$50K Mid-sized solutions: $50K–$150K Enterprise AI: $150K–$500K+
Project complexity, data preparation, AI model development, integrations, cloud infrastructure, and compliance all impact your final budget.
Discovery: 10% Data engineering: 25% Model training: 30% Testing & deployment: 15% Annual maintenance: 20%
Growing data storage, cloud egress, model retraining, employee onboarding, and compliance updates can add unexpected expenses.
Use open-source models. Fine-tune instead of training from scratch. Start with an MVP. Outsource strategically when it makes sense.
Measure hours saved, lower operating costs, reduced downtime, better retention, and other financial gains against total development costs.
