How much do AI automations cost? Wobble's 2026 price list

How much do AI automations cost?

On Wobble's 2026 price list, one automation of any single repeat task costs $500–1,800 as a one-time build, and an AI employee doing one job end to end costs $2,500–6,000. One-time prices are paid 50% to start and 50% at go-live. AI usage, phone lines and software are billed at cost in the client's name, so the running cost is visible and belongs to you rather than sitting inside a fee.

The price list covers every service we sell, from $300 to $35,000. The table below is the part that answers this question: the automations themselves, from the smallest single task to a whole business system.

What clients got before the price was the question

A price is only worth judging against what the work returned. Two results from the record of our work show the scale. A training resources business in Australia had its delivery line rebuilt as one audited automation of 34 AI nodes, and its gross margin rose to 94% from under 35%, at about $4 of AI cost per full unit pack. A land buying company in the USA runs outbound and inbound voice agents handling 500+ calls a day, saving $114k a year against the human cold calling team they replaced.

AI is how that work is done, and it is the reason a single build can carry what used to need a team. It is not a substitute for the discipline around it. Each system starts from a measured baseline, is mapped before it is built, and keeps a human approval step wherever money, pricing or a public message is involved. Across 25+ engagements we have shipped 120+ automations in 6 countries, run from Karachi.

What moves each price within its range

Every price on the list is a range because the same automation costs more to build when it has more to connect to. The things that move a quote from the bottom of its range to the top are knowable before anyone builds anything:

• How many separate systems the task touches. Each connection is its own piece of work.
• Whether any of those systems has no proper interface for software, so it has to be driven through a screen built for a person.
• Whether the process is written down, or lives only in the head of the person who does it.
• How many awkward cases the task has. The ordinary path is quick to build. The exceptions are where the hours go.
• For voice agents, the language and dialect. The price list quotes English or Arabic, one dialect.

Volume mostly moves the running cost, not the build. Because AI usage and software are billed at cost in your name, a busy month shows up on your own accounts and nowhere else.

How much does AI automation cost for small businesses?

A small business can start with one automation from $500. The usual first build is the task that repeats most often and loses money when it is missed: a missed call that never gets a reply, or a lead nobody follows up. Starting with one workflow keeps the risk low and gives you a real number for the next one.

For a small local business that needs the basics in one go, the Starter pack combines a starter website, WhatsApp Business setup on the official API and a starter AI front desk for $1,000–1,500 one-time. Boutiques and fashion sellers in Pakistan can see how that applies to them in our guide to AI automation for boutiques, and Shopify stores in our page on Shopify AI automation, where the Shopify Growth bundle is $1,500–3,000 setup.

Payback matters more when tools are priced in dollars and salaries are not. Before you speak to anyone, put the task through our manual work cost calculator. It gives you the yearly cost of doing the task by hand, which is the ceiling any build price has to sit under.

How much does it cost to hire an AI automation agency?

With Wobble, the first conversation costs nothing. The 30-minute readiness call is free, and the AI audit is free for teams of up to 5 people. Larger teams pay for the audit, and the fee comes off the first build:

• Teams of 6 to 25 people: $750–1,500.
• Teams of 26 to 100 people: $1,500–4,000.
• Teams of 100+ or with branches: $4,000–10,000.

After the audit, you pay for the build and, if you want it, a care plan. Builds are paid 50% to start and 50% at go-live. The care plan is optional and monthly: Essential at $500/mo, Growth at $1,000–2,000/mo, and AI Department at $2,000–3,500/mo, and you can stop any month. If sales follow-up is the main job, our page on AI sales automation shows what those systems do. Buyers in Britain can read how we work with them on our AI automation agency UK page. The prices are the same USD list.

How we keep the price fair

The price you sign is the price you pay, with no surprise bills. New ideas become your next phase, quoted first and never added quietly. You own what we build, and monthly services stop any month with no lock-in. For bigger programmes, the AI OS Foundation bundle (audit, business brain, tool connections, first AI employee, dashboard and training) is $5,500–10,000 one-time, and the full list of what we build is on our services page.
