What does it cost to host an AI agent?

Fixed monthly host cost only. Add your expected model usage for the full-stack total.

A cheap host can become the wrong choice if it does not have enough memory for the runner. A cheap model can become expensive if the assistant works all day. A managed host can cost more but remove setup work. The useful number is the full monthly stack, not one line item.

• Compute: where it runs: a cloud host, a rented GPU, or hardware you own.
• Model usage: how much it reads and writes, and how often it runs.
• Runner: the software that serves the model, or runs the agent loop and its tools.
• Capabilities: browser automation, web search, memory, or scheduled work.
• Required extras: security, delivery, monitoring, or managed-host fees.
• Freshness: whether each price is verified, aging, stale, or disputed.

Each host price above is taken from its verified source and stamped with the date it was last checked. The Builder adds estimated model usage on top so you see host and model cost as one honest total.
