One of the first questions business owners ask when considering AI automation is: how much will it cost? The answer depends on what you need, but this guide breaks it down clearly.
Types of AI Automation and Their Costs in India
Rule-Based Chatbots — Rs.8,000 to Rs.15,000/month
These follow fixed scripts and menus. Good for FAQ, basic lead collection and appointment booking. Cannot handle unexpected questions. At Spettro AI, this starts at Rs.9,999 per month.
AI-Powered Agents — Rs.15,000 to Rs.35,000/month
These understand natural language and can handle any customer query intelligently. They qualify leads, collect payments and have genuine conversations. At Spettro AI, this starts at Rs.19,999 per month for up to 500 AI conversations.
Custom Enterprise Automation — Rs.35,000+/month
For businesses with high volumes, complex workflows or multi-location operations. Fully custom built with dedicated account management.
What is the ROI of AI Automation for Indian Businesses?
A business spending Rs.25,000 per month on a customer support executive gets one person available 9 hours a day, 6 days a week. An AI agent at Rs.19,999 per month is available 24/7, handles 500 conversations and never takes a day off. Most clients see positive ROI within the first month.
Hidden Costs to Watch Out For
Some providers charge separately for API usage, WhatsApp fees, integration and per-message costs. At Spettro AI, everything is included in the monthly plan with no hidden charges.
