2026 AI Agency Pricing Report: what 83 B2B AI implementation agencies charge to get started

Key findings

• Most agencies don't publish pricing. 47 of 83 (57%) list no price on their site. 36 (43%) do.
• Published entry points are low. Among the 23 agencies with a one-time USD starting price (audit, discovery, proof of concept, setup fee or smallest fixed build), the median is $2,500, and 17 of 23 start below $5,000.
• Retainer-led agencies (7 publish a USD monthly fee and no one-time price) list a median of $5,000/mo, ranging from $2,000 to $7,500/mo.
• Agencies that publish skew toward smaller entry tiers. 21 of 36 publishers are in the $1k–$5k tier. For non-publishers, 22 of 47 sit in our $15k–$50k+ tier, but that figure is an AgenticIndex estimate, not data the agencies published.

Pricing by category

Medians appear only when at least 3 agencies in a category publish that type of price. Values are USD. Non-USD and hourly prices are listed in the table below and are not converted.

Budget tier by pricing source

AgenticIndex assigns every listing to one of three minimum-budget tiers. Tiers for agencies that don't publish pricing are our estimates.

Verified Transparent Pricing

These 36 agencies publish pricing on their own website. We read each published price from the linked page on the date shown. Entry price is the lowest paid starting point they list.

Methodology

• Sample: all 83 agencies listed on AgenticIndex when this page was generated. The directory is curated, so it isn't a random sample of the market. Read the figures as a description of this directory, not of the whole industry.
• What counts as published pricing: a price shown on the agency's own public website, such as a pricing page or a service page with a figure. Verified Partners can also submit official pricing, shown as “Official pricing, provided by the agency” and used in place of the figure we found. AgenticIndex estimates, partner-directory figures and “rate on request” don't count. Pricing for 35 of 36 agencies has a stored source URL.
• Entry price: the lowest paid starting point the agency lists, such as an audit, discovery week, proof of concept, setup fee or smallest fixed build. If an agency lists only a monthly fee, we use the lowest monthly fee. Many agencies quote much larger typical projects, and those are shown in the table.
• Currency: medians use USD figures only. 5 agencies publish prices in other currencies, and 1 publishes only an hourly rate. They appear in the table without conversion.
• Date of data: prices were checked on agencies' public sites between 2026-10-17 and 2026-10-21. Report first published 2026-10-21. The page updates as the directory changes.
• Not verified by agencies: no agency has reviewed these figures. Prices can change at any time, so confirm with the agency before you buy. Agencies can send corrections from their profile.
