AI development cost

Custom AI development in the open market often runs tens of thousands for an MVP and six figures for production platforms. FusionSync publishes per-client tiers from $300 to $400 to $800 to $1,000 for productized agency fulfilment, plus optional ownership milestones on the partnership path.

Overview

What drives the price

AI development cost searches mix agency quotes, offshore dev shops, SaaS seats, and internal payroll. This page separates market context from FusionSync's published tiers.

If you are an agency owner with paying clients, per-client productized pricing usually beats funding a full dev team before demand is proven.

Market context: single-purpose AI chatbots from dev shops are often quoted $15,000 to $50,000+. Multi-surface platforms frequently exceed $100,000 before maintenance. FusionSync's tiers exist so agencies can quote faster and mark up a known baseline.
