Three price levels in the Georgian market

Market reality in 2026:

Level 1: 50-150 ₾/month , basic Telegram bot with rule-based scenario. There is no AI. It's not what you think.
Level 2: 250-1,000 ₾/month , Real AI chatbot with GPT-4 / Claude, RAG, CRM integration. This is what is called an "AI chatbot" today.
Level 3: 5,000+ ₾/month , Enterprise custom development, dedicated team, SLA, on-premise deploy.

Georgian SMEs range between level 1 and level 2. Buy Tier 1 with caution , often costs less, but poor customer experience, zero ROI.

Hidden costs , what competitors don't say

If you see another vendor's price "150 ₾/month" , ask:

Is the API cost separate? OpenAI GPT-4 costs ~$0.03 / 1K tokens. Each dialogue ~500-1500 tokens. 1,000 conversations/month = $30-90. This payment can be separate.
WhatsApp Business API license? Meta costs separately , $0.01-0.05 per message depending on the market.
RAG vector DB hosting? Pinecone $70/month starting. Weaviate Cloud $25-150/month. If you host yourself , VPS cost 50-200 ₾/month.
Content-changes? Price table changed , bot RAG base reindexing becomes free? Or a separate price?
SLA gap money? Bot not working for 4 hours - do you pay for the loss or the monthly fee is reduced?

Everything in aiNOW is fixed price , API cost in monthly budget, RAG vector DB our cost, content updates are unlimited, SLA with 99.9% guarantee.

Calculating ROI , When Will It Pay Off

A concrete example from a Georgian clinic (case study here):

One-time setup: 1,500 ₾
Monthly: 450 ₾ (Business rate)
Additional leads: 10/month for every 100 visitors
Average lead = 450 ₾ income
Additional monthly income: 4,500 ₾
Returns 10x monthly spend. Setup in 21 days.

Geode-fitness club (200 members):

Monthly: 250 ₾ (Pro)
Lost up to 30% of lead evening inquiries on Instagram , bot brought it back
4-6 new members per month = 240-360 ₾ × 12 months = 3,000-4,300 ₾ annual LTV
ROI 12x.

How to save on an AI chatbot

Start with Pro. 250 ₾/month , all if you have up to 100 monthly dialogues. Switch to Business when the limit is full.
1 platform to start with. Instagram #1 in Georgia , start with Instagram, then add WhatsApp/Telegram if ROI is valid.
Prepare the FAQ yourself. 30-50 frequently asked questions + answers in the table , the vendor will save you 2-3 hours in setup.
CRM is not empty. If you already have Bitrix24 , Optimum Business tariff. If you work in Excel , Pro rate + Google Sheets integration is a cheaper option.
Avoid DIY Mistakes. See DIY Guide , Total Cost of Ownership often exceeds vendor setup in 6-9 months.

When an AI chatbot is not worth the money

We say frankly - those who are less needed:

20-30 leads per month maximum , effective live manager
One time large B2B deals ($10K+) , bot is a bug, live sales
Physical unique service (eg pure engineering consulting) , expert required
You don't have a business yet , first an MVP, then a bot
