Key takeaways

  • You can build a working assistant for $0 using SynaBot's free tier.
  • Custom assistants with your own data start around $50–$200/month; bespoke development runs $5k–$50k+.

Three price tiers to know:

  • Free. SynaBot's free plan gives every user 2,500 welcome tokens and 500/month after that — enough for a few dozen assistant sessions.
  • Managed. A hosted assistant with your own knowledge base costs $50–$200/month depending on volume and how much content you upload.
  • Bespoke. A custom-built assistant integrated into your systems (Slack, CRM, docs) is a project — typically $5k–$50k+ depending on scope.
