    Transparent Pricing — No Retainers, No Surprises

    Unlike agencies that quote $10,000+ then bill $500/month forever, Thrive Media charges a flat project fee — you know the full cost before we start, you own everything at completion.

    AI services

    AI agents, workflows, and applications

    Every AI project is scoped individually. Here's what shapes the price.

    Custom AI Agent

    AI agents are priced based on the number of deployment channels (website, SMS, email, voice), CRM integrations required, and complexity of training data. Simple single-channel agents run lower. Multi-channel agents with CRM, calendar, and voice integration run higher. Every project is quoted flat before work begins.

    AI Workflow Automation

    Workflow automation pricing depends on the number of tools being connected, the complexity of the logic, and the trigger/action count. A single-workflow automation (form → CRM → SMS → calendar) runs lower than a full department-wide automation stack. All quoted flat.

    Custom AI Applications

    Full AI application builds (like QualiFi and BizBee Funding) are scoped based on feature set, data integrations, and custom algorithm requirements. These are Thrive Media's largest projects and are quoted after a detailed discovery session.

    The math

    What agencies actually cost over 3 years

    Typical agency

    $28,000+

    $5,000–$10,000 build + $500/month retainer × 36 months

    Thrive Media

    $1,500–$5,000

    Flat fee, one-time, no ongoing platform cost

    A $500/month website retainer costs $18,000 over 3 years. Add a $5,000–$10,000 build and you're at $23,000–$28,000+ for a site you don't own and can't take with you. Thrive Media's pricing starts at $1,500 — total. The optimizations, the code, and the hosting account are yours at handover. The monthly cost after that is zero.
