Business seats for tools such as ChatGPT or Copilot are listed at about NZ$30 to NZ$60 per person a month. Compare quotes with the same scope, since cost depends on data sources, channels, authentication, integrations, testing and usage.

Monthly plans and set-up fees

Some providers list a monthly plan from NZ$70 plus GST, with a one-off set-up fee of NZ$295 plus GST for most set-ups. More complex integrations are quoted separately before work begins. Licences, hosting and usage charges are listed separately, so ask for the one-off build price and the monthly figure together.

Timing and season

Season matters less for software than for trades, but timing still counts. A fixed-price chatbot can take three to six weeks to go live, so start in spring, now in October, to have it running before the summer months from December to February. Plan the launch before your busiest trading months, whatever the season.

What to put in your request

  • What the chatbot must do, and the one job it starts with
  • Channels: website, social channels or messenger
  • Features and integrations, such as booking or invoicing tools
  • The data it answers from, such as price lists or documents
  • Hosting, support, deadline and budget

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the project in your own words in the chat, and you can attach a document or a photo. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks what is missing, looks through the websites and price lists of New Zealand providers, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Providers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive your request and reply in the chat with their quote, timeline and support terms. Your contact details stay hidden until you choose.
