Your CTO wants to build a custom AI chatbot. Budget: $50,000. Timeline: 3 months. But here's what they're not telling you: Custom development actually costs $40,000-150,000 for initial build, requires 3-6 months (not 3), needs $87,000/year developer for maintenance, plus $50,000 designer, $8,000-20,000 integration costs, and 15-20% annual maintenance fees. Year 1 real cost: $154,000+. Meanwhile, buying SaaS costs $99-399/month ($1,188-4,788/year), goes live in 5 days, includes maintenance, and delivers identical customer experience. Low-code AI platforms are reducing build costs 30-50%, but still can't match SaaS speed. Let's calculate the real total cost of ownership.

Your CFO just asked: "How much are we really spending on customer service?" You checked the Zendesk invoice ($2,400/month for 20 agents), but that's not the real number. Factor in the $0.99 per AI resolution from Intercom, the $1,500/month for your knowledge base, the hours your team spends on tickets that could be automated, and suddenly you're looking at $5,000+/month. Meanwhile, companies using AI chatbots pay $0.50 per interaction vs $6 for human support, saving $300,000 annually while handling 70-80% of routine queries automatically.
