What we sell:
AI app development cost depends on the AI features you need and the app complexity. At Protocloud: a basic app with AI chatbot starts at $10,000–$18,000; a mid-complexity app with recommendation engine and custom backend ranges from $25,000–$60,000; enterprise-grade apps with full ML pipelines, multi-role dashboards, and IoT AI integration can go up to $120,000+. We provide a detailed, fixed-price quote after your free AI strategy call – AI feature costs are broken out separately so you can choose what fits your budget.
Based on our experience building 2500+ apps, the highest-ROI AI features are: (1) AI chatbot for customer support – reduces support cost 40–60%, (2) personalized recommendations – increases session time 35–50%, (3) smart push notifications – increases open rates 3x vs generic notifications, (4) predictive analytics – reduces churn by identifying at-risk users before they leave. In your free strategy call, we’ll identify which AI features match your specific business model.
A simple app with one AI feature (e.g., chatbot) can be ready in 5–7 weeks. A standard app with multiple AI features (recommendations + smart search + analytics) typically takes 10–16 weeks. Complex enterprise AI apps can take 4–6 months. AI features are built and tested in parallel with the app – not added at the end. We work in agile 2-week sprints, so you see working AI demos throughout development.
Not necessarily. API-based AI features (chatbot, image recognition, smart search) work immediately with zero training data – they use pre-trained models from OpenAI, Google, or AWS. For custom AI features like personalized recommendations or predictive analytics, we design a data collection strategy from Day 1 so your AI improves automatically as your user base grows. We’ll recommend the right approach based on your current data situation.
Yes – we specialize in AI integration into existing apps as well as new builds. We audit your current tech stack, identify the best AI integration points, and add features without disrupting your existing codebase. Common upgrades: replacing static search with AI search, adding a chatbot layer, integrating a recommendation engine, or connecting your app to an AI analytics dashboard.
A basic MVP (5–10 screens) starts at $8,000–$15,000. A mid-complexity app with custom backend and payment integration ranges from $20,000–$50,000. We always recommend budgeting $3,000–$8,000 extra for at least one AI feature – the ROI typically pays back within 60–90 days through improved retention and automation savings.
Yes, you will get regular updates on your project from our team can do it on various platforms like email, skype, or we can update you on call.
If you want to get in touch with our team to convey any message or query, then our representative will always help you with all your questions and listen to your feedback.
The time to develop your iOS application depends upon the project’s complexity, features to be provided, custom requirements from your side, and many other points considered while creating an application.
After analyzing all the facts, we create a flow to develop your app and then decide the final time to complete the app.
