What does agentic
commerce cost?

The two options, unbundled

Foundation — $5,000. One agent, one use case, 30-day delivery. This is the right entry point when you have a specific, well-defined problem: cart abandonment is too high, product discovery is too weak, post-purchase delivery is too manual. One agent gets built for that problem specifically, deployed to your VPS, tested, and handed off. Full source code. Full documentation. 30 days of support post-delivery.

Full Suite — $25,000. All four agents (discovery, cart, checkout, post-purchase) plus the JARVIS control dashboard, 60-day delivery, and 90 days of post-delivery support. This is the complete lifecycle — every stage of the commerce flow instrumented and agent-driven. The right option when the whole stack is leaking and a single agent will not solve it.

Both options include the same ownership model: full source code, no ongoing license fee, deployed to infrastructure you control. The money-back guarantee applies to both: if the agents are not working as specified at the end of the delivery window, every dollar is returned.

What the price includes

The price covers everything inside the engagement:

• Discovery and scoping (understanding your catalog, your session data, your specific problem)
• Agent design and architecture for your specific use case
• Full development — agent logic, API integrations, decision models
• Deployment to your VPS with configuration and testing
• Documentation for your team
• 30 or 90 days of support post-handoff depending on the package

The price does not cover your VPS hosting ($10–20/month from your chosen provider), any AI API costs that the agents may incur at runtime (typically very low for commerce use cases — $5–30/month at the volumes most stores operate at), or changes to scope that arise after the engagement starts and represent materially different work than what was agreed. That last scenario is rare and handled transparently when it happens.

The SaaS comparison

The relevant comparison is not "should I pay $5,000 for this" — it is "what am I currently paying for tools that do this less well, and for how long."

A typical store doing $30,000/month might use:

• Klaviyo for email and cart recovery: $400–$800/month
• A recommendations widget (Rebuy, LimeSpot, etc.): $99–$500/month
• A post-purchase tool (Aftersell, Carthook): $100–$400/month
• A support tool for post-purchase inquiries: $100–$300/month

Total: $700–$2,000/month in SaaS fees, none of which compounds into an owned asset, all of which is subject to pricing changes by four separate vendors. At $1,200/month, the break-even against a $25,000 Full Suite build is 20 months. At $2,000/month, it is 12 months. After break-even, the $20/month VPS is the only ongoing cost.

The relevant question is not the upfront cost of the build. The relevant question is the total cost of the alternative over three years — and whether you own anything at the end of that three years that you could not walk away from tomorrow.

When the cost does not make sense yet

There is a revenue floor below which a custom build is not the right call yet. At $5,000/month in revenue, even a 20% improvement in conversion rate produces $1,000/month — which means the Foundation build pays off in five months. That is still a reasonable investment if you have conviction in the growth trajectory.

Below $5,000/month, or pre-launch, the math is harder to make work without assumptions that may not hold. The application asks about your current revenue and the specific problem you're solving — if the numbers don't support a build yet, the honest answer is to say so rather than take the engagement.

Agents are a performance layer. They improve what is already working. A store that is not yet working — wrong product, wrong audience, wrong pricing — will execute against the wrong premise more efficiently after the build, which is not an improvement.

How payment works

Payment structure is discussed after application approval and scope confirmation. The typical arrangement is 50% at engagement start, 50% at delivery and acceptance. The money-back guarantee applies from the moment payment is made through the delivery window — if the agents are not working as specified, the full amount is returned, not just the second payment.
