It is a scenario to verify after launch, not a promised result. ### 1. Measure the inputs Use a baseline from the business and mark every forecast as an assumption until it is measured. Input Source Use in the calculation Current manual hours Measured in the business Baseline for comparison Expected hours released Process mapping or pilot Assumption to verify after launch Hourly cost Business records Converts time into a monetary value Build and operating cost Project proposal First-year cost against the calculated value ### 2. Additional costs to include in the comparison - **BSP onboarding and usage fees** — check the provider's current quote, per-message charges and any setup fee. See the [WhatsApp Business API guide](https://achiya-automation.com/en/blog/whatsapp-business-api-guide/) for the comparison method. - **Message category pricing** — utility and marketing messages may be priced differently. Verify the current Meta or provider rate for the business's country and use case. - **After-launch adjustments** — check which minor adjustments are included during the 30-day period and how later work is priced. ### 3. The break-even point: custom vs SaaS Add the build, operations and third-party licenses for each option over the same period. The break-even point changes with the proposals, usage volume and required changes, so no fixed range is presented here. For a deeper breakdown, see the [2026 WhatsApp bot pricing guide](https://achiya-automation.com/en/blog/whatsapp-bot-pricing-guide-2026/). Calculation method only. No client median or promised result is asserted. ### Every project is scoped individually There's no fixed price list. Focused automations start from $1,000; full systems are quoted to your needs. Tell me what you want to automate and I will prepare a proposal based on the scope. ## Frequently asked questions about pricing Why aren't the prices fixed? A simple bot that answers questions starts at $1,000, and full custom systems with multiple integrations start at $3,500. AI answering is included in every bot. The proposal prices integrations, operating costs and third-party services from the written scope. What's included in the one-time price? **Included:** Consultation and custom planning Full bot/automation build 30 days for minor adjustments and fine-tuning under the terms **Not included:** Training beyond the agreed scope (available separately) Operating and third-party costs defined in the proposal Changes after the 30-day period What are the monthly hosting fees? Operating costs depend on the hosting, connectors and third-party services selected for the project. **You have 2 options:** **Option 1 — Managed infrastructure:** the current operating-fee range is ₪100-300/month for the scope listed in the proposal. **Option 2 — Direct provider accounts:** Provider charges and responsibilities are listed separately. **The proposal states the operating fee and any third-party costs before work starts.** Do you offer discounts for small businesses? Projects are scoped individually. When it fits the process and budget, the proposal can start with a smaller first phase and define what may be added later. Can I pay in installments? Any installment plan is defined in the written proposal before work starts. When can we start? I work **business days only** (Sun-Thu), 09:00-18:00 IST. **Not available on weekends and holidays.** Project-specific response and delivery times are defined in the proposal. When will I see results? The build timeline depends on scenarios, integrations, access and testing. The proposal defines project-specific milestones before work begins. Business outcomes are measured separately against the business's own baseline. ## Important note Prices shown are estimates. We map the exact needs, dependencies and scope before providing a custom quote. [Discuss the project](https://achiya-automation.com/en/#contact) ### Want to see documented projects?
