Short answer: the site costs the same either way, because either way the price comes from scope — how many pages, which integrations, and what it has to do. The difference is not in the website's budget but in what happens after you publish it: the traditional site only displays information, while the AI site can add a chatbot from S/ 349 setup + S/ 39 a month or an AI voice agent from S/ 1,699 setup + S/ 0.76 per minute that answers, books and screens enquiries with nobody awake to do it.

The question that really matters is not "which site is cheaper?" — it is "what happens to the customer who lands on my site at 10pm and gets no reply?".

What makes a traditional website different from an AI one?

A traditional website is a shop window: pages, copy, photos and a contact form somebody checks manually when they can. An AI site uses the same foundation — design, hosting, SEO — but connects agents that talk to the visitor in real time, instead of waiting for a human to open the inbox.

Why doesn't the website have a table price?

Because two sites that look alike can be very different projects. One is a five-page company site; the other has a catalogue, a payment gateway and talks to e-invoicing. Publishing a single number would mean inflating the first or lying to the second.

What is fixed, and what you can hold us to, is how we get to the number: a discovery session that is free, a scope closed in writing (what is in, what is out, what waits for a second phase) and only then a proposal with a price in soles, tax included, and a deadline written as "up to" rather than "in". It is spelled out in more detail on custom development.

The code, the documentation and the access stay in your name. If you want another vendor tomorrow, you can.

How much does adding AI to a website cost?

Here there are published prices, because these are products with a known scope. Each type of AI is contracted separately, based on what your business needs to solve:

Type of AISetupRecurring costWhat it solves
Private chatbotS/ 349From S/ 39/month by conversation volumeAnswers written enquiries on the site, WhatsApp or API in under 1 second, with data that never leaves for OpenAI or Google
AI voice agentS/ 1,699S/ 0.76 per minute spokenHandles real phone calls, books appointments, hands over to a human with full context when the case calls for it
AutomationsIncluded in the moduleS/ 199/month, with a 90-day trialConnects the site's form to automatic lead follow-up, invoicing or internal workflows

All prices are in soles with tax included. Chatbot plans scale by conversation volume, so a business getting fifty enquiries a month does not pay the same as one getting ten thousand.

Is it worth it if my site gets little traffic?

Let's be honest here: if your site does not generate enquiries or form submissions yet, adding AI will not invent traffic that is not there. AI automates conversations — with no conversations to handle, the monthly cost is not justified yet.

When adding AI to your site is NOT worth it:

  • It is a personal project, portfolio or blog with no lead-generation goal
  • The site is new and has no measurable traffic or enquiries yet
  • Your contact volume is so low that a form checked once a day is enough

When it IS worth it:

  • You already get enquiries by WhatsApp, phone or form and they sometimes take hours or days to answer
  • Your business runs limited hours but customers look for information outside them
  • Every unanswered enquiry is a sale that most likely goes to a competitor

Response time is the most cited factor in lead qualification: the odds of qualifying a contact drop sharply once the first reply takes more than thirty minutes — something no manually checked, once-a-day form can keep up with.

How does AI connect to a site that already exists?

Nothing has to be rebuilt, and the site does not have to have been built by us. The chatbot drops in as a widget on the site (and optionally on WhatsApp or via API), while the AI voice agent connects to a phone number independent of the website. In both cases the process is the same: a discovery call, loading your business information into the knowledge base, tuning the tone of the answers and testing — without touching the design or the hosting of the site you already published.

For businesses that also want to automate what happens after the conversation — booking in the calendar, updating the CRM, sending the invoice — automations close that loop, and the module comes with a 90-day trial so you can see it running on your own data before deciding.

Traditional site vs AI site: which should you choose?

If your site already works well and you only need a professional presence, the traditional site is enough. If you also need every enquiry answered without depending on somebody sitting at a computer, adding a chatbot or an AI voice agent is the difference between a good-looking site and a site that actually sells.

The most common combination among our clients is: a site built with custom development + a chatbot for written enquiries + an AI voice agent for the phone. And when the business already has a process of its own that does not fit a template — bookings, a quoting tool, a customer portal — that same development can solve it inside the site, instead of forcing you to bolt on yet another tool.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website with built-in AI cost?

The site itself costs the same as a traditional one, and in both cases the price comes from scope: which pages, which integrations, and what it has to do. That is why we quote after a discovery session, which is free. AI is contracted separately and that part does have published prices: a private chatbot from S/ 349 setup + S/ 39 a month, or an AI voice agent from S/ 1,699 setup + S/ 0.76 per minute spoken. There is no mandatory bundle — the site works on its own and AI can be added when you need it.

Can a traditional website be turned into an AI one later?

Yes, with nothing to rebuild. The chatbot drops in as a widget over the site you already published, and the voice agent does not even live on the page: it answers a phone number. There is no need to migrate platforms or redesign pages you have already published, and the site does not have to have been built by us.

Do the chatbot or the AI voice agent slow my website down?

No. The chatbot runs on our own infrastructure (self-hosted) and replies in under 1 second from its own service, with no heavy processing loaded into the visitor's browser. The AI voice agent does not live on the page at all — it handles phone calls or separate widgets, so it has no effect on page load speed.

When is adding AI to my website NOT worth it?

When the site is a personal project, a portfolio with no commercial goal, or gets very little traffic and no contact form submissions. If nobody writes to you yet, there are no conversations to automate — first confirm the site generates enquiries, and only then add AI so none of them are lost.

What is the difference between adding a chatbot and adding an AI voice agent?

The chatbot answers in text on the site, on WhatsApp or via API, ideal for written enquiries and extended hours, from S/ 39 a month depending on conversation volume. The AI voice agent handles real phone calls, ideal for businesses where the customer prefers to talk (appointments, technical support, consultative sales), from S/ 0.76 per minute. Many businesses use both: chatbot for the site and voice for the phone.
