Pricing — isthispossible.ai | What it costs to build and run a custom AI system

How we price

Audit first. Then a fixed price build. Then we run it.

We never quote before we audit. The audit tells both of us exactly what to build, what it will return, and what it will cost. Then the build ships in 60 days or less.

Step 1

AI audit

Free

We map your operations, find the bottlenecks AI can remove, and give you a prioritized system plan with ROI estimates. Yours to keep either way.

Workflow and data review
Prioritized AI system map
Fixed scope proposal with exact pricing

Step 2

Custom build

From $15,000

A production AI system built for your exact workflows and shipped into your business in 60 days or less. Fixed price, agreed before we start.

Custom AI agents and automations
Deep integration with your CRM, data, and tools
Testing on real data before rollout
Team training and handover

Step 3

We run it

From $2,500/mo

AI systems are not set and forget. We monitor, maintain, and improve what we built, so it keeps working when models, APIs, and your business change.

Monitoring and error handling
Model and API updates
Prompt and knowledge base changes
No key person risk on your side

What it costs to keep an AI system alive

Three levels, billed quarterly. Every plan covers defects in what we built at no charge. New capabilities are scoped as their own phase.

PlanPriceWhat you get

Run $2,500/mo Monitoring, uptime, bug fixes, model or API updates, and small adjustments to the systems we built. We keep the system alive and working.

BuildRecommended $5,000/mo A dedicated developer on your account, a rolling queue of improvements, one active build at a time, unlimited requests. You have a developer without hiring one.

Partner $10,000/mo Work directly with the founder: strategy, custom builds, priority on everything, and a direct line for anything urgent.

All plans are 3 month minimum, billed upfront. Third party hosting and API costs are passed through at cost on your invoice.

Pricing FAQ

Straight answers

How much does it cost to get a custom AI system built?

At isthispossible.ai, custom builds start at $15,000 and are delivered in 60 days or less. The exact price is fixed after a free audit, so you know the full cost before any work starts. Across the market, comparable systems run $15,000 to $250,000+ depending on scope.

What does it cost to run and maintain an AI system after launch?

$2,500 to $10,000 per month depending on the level of involvement, with a 3 month minimum billed upfront. Maintenance covers monitoring, fixes, and keeping the system current as models and APIs change. Defects in anything we built are always fixed free.

Why do you audit before building?

Because most failed AI projects were scoped wrong, not built wrong. The audit maps your workflows and data first, so the build targets the systems with the highest return instead of whatever sounded good on a sales call. You get the audit findings whether or not you build with us.

What does done for you actually include?

Everything: scoping, building, integrating with your existing tools, testing on real data, deployment, team training, and then running the system after launch. Your team never has to touch code, and you are not dependent on one person who might leave.

Do you charge a percentage of revenue or hourly?

No. Every engagement is a flat, fixed price agreed upfront. No hourly billing, no revenue share, no meters running.
