Buying your own Kiozk™

FAQ for purchasers

You're building your own AI web app and storefront, on your own accounts, that you own and operate going forward. Here's what that actually costs and why it's priced the way it is.

Do you take on bigger builds — multiple products, marketplaces, admin dashboards?

No. We build exactly one kind of thing: one product or offering, one configurator, one AI concierge, one PayPal checkout, on this stack, for US$1,999 — see our reference commission for the precise scope.

That's a deliberate choice, not a limitation we're working around: it's what lets us guarantee US$1,999, 7 business days, and 2 revisions with total confidence, every single time. If a project doesn't fit that shape, we're not the right fit for it.

Why does US$1,999 make sense compared to hiring a freelancer?

A typical freelancer quote of $2,000–$8,000 in the US gets you a static site — and nothing else. That price doesn't include an AI sales agent, ongoing content generation, or a working global checkout; you'd have to add all three yourself, from separate providers, at separate ongoing cost.

Add those in and you're really pricing against a custom build with real AI and payment integration — independent 2026 sourcing data puts that at roughly $5,000–$40,000+ depending on scope and who builds it, before the storefront itself is even counted. Your $1,999 build bundles all three from day one:

Your $1,999 build is the same real estate, prebuilt, delivered in 7 business days.
  • AI-generated web app and storefront copy — headline, pitch, and FAQ, written from your own description of what you sell
  • An always-on AI sales agent that chats with buyers, answers questions, and negotiates within limits you set — a category that runs $29–$100+/month on its own elsewhere (Tidio, Intercom Fin, Drift, and similar tools)
  • Ready-made global PayPal checkout, connected to your own account, with no separate integration project

You're paying a fraction of what a comparable custom build costs, for infrastructure that would otherwise mean separate providers and separate ongoing bills.

How does $1,999 compare region by region?

Here's the honest picture — how a $1,999 build compares to a typical local freelancer/agency quote for a comparable static site (before counting the AI closer or PayPal checkout most quotes don't include), region by region:

RegionTypical freelancer cost (local currency)≈ in USDWhere $1,999 lands
USA$1,500–$8,000$1,500–$8,000Within range, near the low end
CanadaCAD $1,500–$8,000~$1,090–$5,800Within range, lower third
UK£800–£3,000~$1,065–$3,990Within range, below the midpoint
EU (Germany, pricier end)€1,200–€9,000~$1,370–$10,260Within range, lower end
AustraliaAUD $1,500–$10,000~$1,050–$6,990Within range, lower third
NZ(tracks AU closely)similar bandWithin range, lower third
SingaporeSGD $1,500–$4,000~$1,170–$3,125Within range, around the midpoint

Figures are typical freelancer/agency ranges for a comparable custom site, converted at prevailing exchange rates — not a quote for your specific project.

What the table above leaves out: none of those freelancer quotes include a working AI sales agent or global PayPal checkout. Priced as a real custom AI-app build — the closer comparison to what you're actually getting — $1,999 is well below the $5,000–$40,000+ range in every region above.

What does it cost to actually run this myself, month to month?

The $1,999 fee is a one-time build and transfer cost. After that, you run the app on your own accounts, and you're billed by each provider directly — not by us:

  • Netlify (hosting): typically US$9–$20/month at normal traffic for a small web app and storefront
  • Neon (database): $0/month — comfortably covered by its free tier at this scale
  • Anthropic (the Claude API that powers your web app and storefront generation and your AI closer): you'll need your own API key with a balance of at least US$10 to start
