How much does a custom AI solution cost? — answered by Engineer Saeed Baatiah
The cost has two parts that must always be separated: a one-off build, and a monthly run cost. An assistant that answers from your documents starts around SAR 8,000 to build and SAR 100 to 1,500 a month to run depending on usage. A solution that reads invoices and extracts their data into your system starts around SAR 15,000. Training a model from scratch is rarely justified for a small company — using a ready model’s API is cheaper and more accurate in most cases.
