Real investment ranges, what setup includes, what you pay monthly and how to calculate ROI before signing.
The price of an AI agent depends less on the technology and more on the process it will run. Here's how the investment is structured so you can compare with judgment.
Setup: design and integration
It covers mapping the process, connecting tools (WhatsApp, CRM, email), loading business knowledge and defining approval rules.
Monthly fee: operation and improvement
It covers infrastructure, model usage, monitoring and tuning. As an indicative reference for SMBs in Latin America, a reception agent starts from USD 450/month and an operations agent from USD 980/month, plus setup.
How to calculate the return
Add up the hours the process takes today, multiply by their cost and add the leads lost to slow replies. Compare against the monthly fee.
- ✓Hours freed per month
- ✓Leads recovered
- ✓Response time
- ✓Record errors avoided
Recommendation
Start with a 30-day pilot on a single process. Real numbers beat any projection.
