11/14/2023, 6:08 PMHey, guys. With whom I can discuss the process of paying for services as providing AI chat bots. I don't really understand the payment process in Botpress, I want to understand how to pay, what to pay for, so I can explain it in detail to the client. Where can I see the price for paying for services, etc. In general, I want to know all such information so that I can predict the amount I will be requesting from my client. Is there anyone here who can chat with me on this topic and explain it in detail?

11/14/2023, 6:12 PMI unfortunately can't share more about pricing, as nothing is live yet but I might challenge you with some questions to help you with your client.

11/14/2023, 6:15 PMHere are a few points to think about when you’ll charge your customer:

11/14/2023, 6:15 PMFor example, I build the chat bot for the client oh their behalf and they use this bot oh their website, how and what they will be billed for.
Second example, if I build a bot on my account and ask for a one time setup fee, and then offer them a maintenance package on a "bill by usage" payment how do I bill them, where can I watch this etc?

11/14/2023, 6:15 PMok, go on)))

11/14/2023, 6:16 PMComplexity of the bot: A simple FAQ bot requires less effort compared to a sophisticated AI-driven bot capable of executing complex tasks. 🙂

11/14/2023, 6:16 PM*Development time: * More time-intensive projects should be priced higher!
crooked-van-25152
11/14/2023, 6:17 PMCustomization & features: If the bot requires custom features or integration with existing systems, this adds to the development effort and so I think it should be reflected in the price. Especially if Botpress doesn’t support out of the box the integrations your customer is looking for.

11/14/2023, 6:17 PM**Maintenance & support: **Will you be in charge of maintenance? If so, think about including the cost of ongoing maintenance, updates, and support.

11/14/2023, 6:18 PMI would talk with people who have experience building and selling bots.

11/14/2023, 6:20 PMBut know that you could always build the bot on their account (add yourself as collaborator: developer), that way they get billed. And you can bill them on top of that (one time fee for building the bot & potentially a monthly fee if they require maintenant and support).

11/14/2023, 6:20 PMThis is just an idea 🙂

11/14/2023, 6:22 PMIf you're planning on building many bots, I would consider applying here: https://botpress.com/become-a-partner

11/14/2023, 6:22 PMyeah, I had that sort of ideas. I just don't really understand the price the will be charged for using the bot (except my price of building one)

11/14/2023, 6:23 PMAlso, I believe if you are using the paid plan, you have access to multiple workspace, where each workspace can have its payment method.
