How much does it cost per month to build and run an app with AI?
You can start at close to zero, and once you build seriously the AI tool subscription is the biggest item. All amounts below are estimates and depend on the tools and the kind of app.
Do it in this order
- AI tools Claude: $0~$20 / month (estimate). Cursor (code editor): $0~$30 / month (estimate).
- Hosting (servers) Cloudflare: $0~$5 / month (estimate).
- Login and data storage Supabase: $0~$25 / month (estimate). Not needed if your app has no login or saved data.
- Domain (address) $0~$15 / year (estimate). A service with customers needs its own domain.
