How Much Does Custom AI Development Cost for Small Businesses?

Enterprise-scale investment is not necessary for every specialized AI project. AI development cost ranges from approximatly $5,000 to $50,000, small businesses and startups can begin with a scoped, single-use-case build, such as a customer-support chatbot, a lightweight document classifier, or an API-based integration into an existing tool, which is usually delivered in 2 to 6 weeks (Note: The cost presented here is for indicative purposes only; connect with the Kellton Team for exact offerings and price). 

These smaller builds provide a production-ready solution that is suited to a particular process while avoiding the significant data engineering, compliance overhead, and multi-system integration that raise enterprise expenses.

Starter / SMB - $5,000 – $50,000

Mid-Complexity - $50,000 – $150,000

Enterprise - $150,000 – $500,000+
