Many small agencies assume AI is only for big brands with big budgets. In practice, the cost is often lower than a single missed commission. Here is a transparent look at what agencies typically pay and how to judge the return.
Most providers charge a once-off setup fee plus a monthly fee. Setup covers configuring the assistant on your listings, branding and workflows. The monthly fee covers hosting, support, monitoring and minor updates.

Usage costs such as voice minutes and WhatsApp conversation charges, and custom integrations, are billed separately. Exact pricing depends on agency size and complexity.
Do a simple calculation: what is your average commission per sale? How many enquiries go unanswered after hours each month? If automation turns even one additional enquiry into a sale in a quarter, what does that cover?
TRY IT WITH YOUR NUMBERS
Our ROI calculator estimates extra viewings, hours saved and potential commission based on your agent count and average sale price.
CloudST’s 30-day pilot costs R7 500 once-off plus R2 500 for the month, and includes the Listing Assistant, five Agent Cards and basic automation. It is designed to prove the value on your own listings before you commit further.
