Website + AI chatbot: separate or bundled? (Real UK prices)
Building a website now and adding an AI chatbot later costs £2,650. Built together from day one, it's £2,400 — plus one point of contact instead of two.
Thinking about getting a website built, then adding an AI chatbot later once you've settled in? Here's what waiting and buying those separately actually costs you.
Not a sales trick — just maths
Most people assume bundling things together is just a sales trick — bigger number, feels like a deal, isn't really. Sometimes that's true. This time it's just maths. A Standard website on its own, plus Ada, the AI chat widget, built and set up separately afterwards, comes to £2,650 between the two.
The numbers
Built together, from day one, as one project — same website, same Ada chatbot, one launch — it's £2,400. That's £250 saved, plus one point of contact, one invoice, one person who already knows your business instead of explaining it twice to two different setups.
More than the money
The logic's simple: building the chatbot at the same time as the site means it's trained on your business from the moment you go live, not bolted on months later after you've already lost the enquiries that came in before it existed.
If you were planning to do the website now and think about AI later, it's worth knowing what "later" actually costs — £250 more, and a website with nobody answering it while you wait.
