What AI and WhatsApp automation costs
for a service business in India.

Four separate costs make up the total: the build, the messaging charges, the software licences and ongoing optimisation. Here is what each one is and what we publish for the build.

The cost of AI lead response and WhatsApp automation for a service business is the one-time build fee plus pass-through costs that other companies bill directly: WhatsApp conversation charges from Meta and any CRM or tool subscriptions. AcquihireTech publishes its build prices and scopes each engagement after a free 30-minute audit.

The four costs

Where the money actually goes.

01

The build.

A one-time project fee to design, install and hand over the system. Ours is published: the Conversion Engine (AI lead response, qualification and CRM setup) starts from ₹1–2 lakh over 60 days.

02

Messaging charges.

WhatsApp bills per conversation at Meta's own published rates. These are pass-through costs paid by you, not marked up inside a project fee.

03

Software licences.

The CRM and any tools in the stack are subscriptions billed by their vendors to your account. We choose the simplest tool that does the job.

04

Ongoing optimisation.

Optional. After go-live, a partnership layer keeps tuning the systems month over month; it is custom-priced on a retainer of six months or more.

Published build prices

What each engine costs to build.

  • Conversion Engine · from ₹1–2 lakh · 60 days. AI responder, qualification and scoring, CRM setup, automated follow-up, calendar booking and reporting.
  • Growth Engine · from ₹1.5–3 lakh · 90 days. Validated ICP, tracked channels and a live attribution dashboard.
  • Operations Engine · from ₹1.5–4 lakh · 60–90 days. Three to five critical processes automated, with dashboards, alerts and documented SOPs.
  • Presence Engine · from ₹80K–2 lakh · 4–6 weeks. A conversion-built website with one job: turn visits into booked conversations.

These are starting ranges. Scope and final price are confirmed after the free 30-minute Systems Audit, because the right engine depends on where your enquiries actually go cold.

How to read these numbers

Compare the whole cost, not only the build.

A cheaper quote that excludes the CRM, messaging charges or training often costs more once the pieces are added up. Ask any provider which of the four costs above are inside their price and which you will pay separately.

Everything we build lives in your own accounts and transfers to you at project close, so you are not paying a licence to keep using what you already paid for.

Before you book

Questions we get asked first.

It has four parts: a one-time build fee, WhatsApp conversation charges billed by Meta at its published rates, any CRM or tool subscriptions, and optional ongoing optimisation. Our build starts from ₹1–2 lakh for the Conversion Engine.
The Conversion Engine, which covers the AI responder, qualification, CRM setup, follow-up and booking, starts from ₹1–2 lakh and runs for 60 days. The final scope is set after a free audit.
No. Messaging charges are pass-through: Meta bills you for conversations at its own published rates. We do not mark them up inside the project fee.
Not for the build itself. Running costs are the vendors' own subscriptions and messaging charges. An optional partnership retainer of six months or more covers ongoing optimisation and is custom-priced.
We quote after diagnosing what is actually holding the business back. The audit is free, takes 30 minutes, and tells you whether an engine is the right move yet.
You do. Every automation, workflow and campaign transfers to you at project close, with documented SOPs and full credentials for every tool and platform.
