Short answer: in 2026, a business AI chatbot costs €1,500-8,000 to implement plus €100-500/month for maintenance, depending on scope. Off-the-shelf SaaS bots start at €30/month but can’t integrate with your systems; fully custom builds exceed €15,000.
Pricing by project size
| Tier | Includes | Setup | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | FAQ bot on web or WhatsApp, no integrations | ~€1,500 | €100-150 |
| Pro | Multi-channel, CRM & booking integrations | €3,000-8,000 | €150-300 |

What moves the price
- Channels: web only vs web + WhatsApp + Instagram.
- Integrations: CRM, PMS, ERP, calendars — this is what turns a toy bot into a sales machine.
- Knowledge base size and languages (Spanish, English, German…).
- Human handoff with full conversation context.
- GDPD compliance: EU hosting, encryption, data processing agreements.
