Investment Guide

What it costs, before you ask.

Every project is quoted individually, but you deserve a realistic starting point before you book a call. Here's how pricing works at L'AIRE Digitals.

Starting prices

Where projects begin.

ServiceInvestmentWhat the starting point typically covers
Custom AI Development$5,000+Starting at One focused AI tool, such as a website assistant or internal knowledge assistant, connected to a defined set of your information, with guardrails, testing, and handover. Quote

Starting prices are guides, not packages. Your written quote reflects your actual scope.

What moves the number

Scope, not surprises.

Prices rise with complexity, not with how established your business looks. These are the factors that matter most.

  • Number of pages, workflows, or AI tasks
  • How many systems need to connect
  • How much content or data needs preparing
  • Custom features beyond the core build
  • Testing, review, or compliance requirements
  • Timeline, since rush work is scoped accordingly
Third-party costs

Paid directly, in your name.

Some tools charge their own fees. Those accounts belong to you, and you pay the provider directly. I'll estimate them with you before you commit.

  • Website hosting and domain registration
  • AI model usage, billed by the provider based on use
  • Automation platform subscriptions, where needed
  • Paid software, plugins, or premium integrations
  • Stock imagery or licensed fonts, if requested

Questions

Investment FAQ

Why not fixed packages?

Two businesses rarely need the same thing. Starting prices give you a realistic range, and a written quote makes sure you pay for what you actually need.

Is the discovery call really free?

Yes. It's 20 minutes and there's no obligation. It's how we both decide whether the project is a fit.

Can a project be split into phases?

Often, yes. Starting with the highest-value piece and expanding later is a smart way to manage investment.

What if my budget is below the starting price?

Tell me anyway. I may be able to recommend a smaller first phase or an existing tool that solves the problem for less.

Do prices include ongoing costs?

Project prices cover the build. Third-party costs like hosting or AI usage are paid directly to providers, and ongoing support is optional and quoted monthly.
