How much does chatbot development cost?

答案

Chatbot cost depends on complexity: simple FAQ bot — from $600 (2 weeks), bot with catalog and orders — from $1,200 (3-4 weeks), AI bot with CRM and messengers — from $2,500 (6-8 weeks). WhatsApp is more expensive than Telegram due to paid API ($0.005-0.08/message). AppStar develops bots from $1,200 with AI and integrations.
