At Rocketech, an AI agent pilot costs $5,000-15,000 and takes 2-4 weeks. It tests the agent on one task before you pay for a full build. Other companies publish prices from $10,000 for a prototype to $500,000+ for a complex agent.
Five things set the price. The table shows what makes each one cheaper or more expensive.
| Cost driver | Costs less | Costs more |
|---|---|---|
| Integrations | Works in one tool or reads one data source | Reads and writes in several systems, such as a CRM, an ERP and email |
| Data | Clean data that already exists | Data that must be collected, cleaned or labeled first |
| Guardrails | Suggests actions for a person to approve | Acts on its own, with strict limits, permissions and logs |
| Testing | A small set of test cases | Ongoing tests on real cases against quality targets |
| Users and support | A few internal users | Many users, with monitoring and support |
A pilot costs $5,000-15,000 and takes 2-4 weeks. It shows whether the agent can do the job before you pay for the rest.
