Costs
A website AI chatbot usually costs either a monthly subscription or usage-based credits. Bitecodes uses prepaid token packs with no subscription: the Starter pack is ₹499 for roughly 500 answers, and credits do not expire. Custom integration, content preparation, and advanced workflows are separate project work, typically from $1,200 for AI integration.
Subscriptions charge a fixed monthly fee, often per seat or per bot, with usage limits that are hard to predict. Usage-based pricing charges for what is consumed, usually tokens or answers. Subscriptions are easier to budget; usage pricing is cheaper when volume is low and can grow with success.
The hidden cost in both models is content work. Someone has to gather, clean, and review the knowledge base, write the instructions, test the answers, and maintain it. That is usually more work than installing the widget.
Longer answers, larger knowledge retrievals, and more conversation turns all consume more tokens. A support bot answering policy questions is usually cheaper per conversation than a sales assistant that writes long, personalized proposals.
Watch for answers that retrieve too much context. A focused knowledge base with good chunking is cheaper and more accurate than dumping every page into every prompt.
For a small site with steady questions, a Starter pack at ₹499 covers roughly 500 answers. A busy site might use the Growth pack at ₹1,499 for roughly 2,500 answers. Because credits do not expire, you can start small and top up as usage grows.
If the chatbot needs custom workflows, CRM integration, or a bespoke interface, budget for project work. Bitecodes' AI integration service starts at $1,200, and discovery confirms the scope before a fixed quote.
Start with a prepaid pack, embed the widget, and top up only when usage grows.

To embed an AI chatbot, train it on your own content, configure the widget and allowed domains, then paste one script tag or iframe into your site's HTML. The chatbot should answer only from approved sources, show a clear AI disclosure, capture leads with consent, and hand off to a human when it cannot help.
A website converts when a visitor can understand the offer, believe it, and take the next step without friction. That means a clear headline, specific proof, transparent pricing or expectations, fast pages, and one obvious action. Design matters, but clarity and trust matter more than novelty.
A focused business website typically costs between $500 and $10,000 in 2026. A small, well-built marketing site starts around $500; a larger site with custom design, many templates, integrations, and copy support usually lands between $3,000 and $10,000. E-commerce, membership, and multilingual sites cost more because the complexity sits in the workflows, not the page count.
