Pricing
Last updated: 2026-04-23
Deflation pricing has two parts: a one-time setup fee and ongoing prepaid API usage. Both are scoped per project so the price reflects what you actually need.
1. Setup — $500–$2,000 USD
One-time fee. We design your bot with you, configure the channels it needs (email, SMS, voice, Telegram), and deploy it on a dedicated server instance. The fee includes:
- Workflow scoping and bot configuration
- Channel setup (Resend / Twilio / Cloudflare email / Telegram)
- Initial deployment and verification
- 3 months of included support — bug fixes, configuration changes, channel additions
The exact fee within this range depends on workflow complexity (number of integrations, custom skills, special data sources).
2. Usage
After deployment, your bot consumes credits from a prepaid wallet. Each language-model call, SMS, voice minute, transcription, and outbound email is debited at the rate in your contract.
- Prepaid model. Top up any time, no monthly minimums or subscriptions.
- Custom rates. Per-account rates are quoted as part of your project proposal, based on expected volume and use case.
- Itemised statement. Every charge appears in your billing history with the service, timestamp, and CHF amount, so you can reconcile spend against your contract at any time.
- No expiry. Unused balance remains usable as long as your account is active. See the Refund Policy for details.
How to get started
Email hello@deflation.aiwith one line about what you’d like your bot to do — what kind of work, which channels, expected volume if you have a sense. We come back within 2 business days with a custom proposal: scope, fee, and per-account usage rates.
Quotes and changes
All quotes are non-binding until accepted in writing. Pricing is scoped per project based on workflow complexity and expected volume; we may revise rates for new projects with at least 30 days’ notice but existing accounts keep their contract rates. Full terms in the Terms of Service.
Currency
Setup fees are quoted in USD; the prepaid wallet is currently denominated in CHF. Paddle, our merchant of record, applies any required VAT or sales tax based on your billing address.
