Before you shortlist anyone
All calculatorsThe short answer
1,000 AI development companies are listed. 63% publish a minimum project budget; the median floor is $10k. Most work starts in the $3–10k range. Median published rate is $25/hr across 71 companies.
Best supplied: Russia (437) · United States (124) · India (68)
Recalculated 2026-09-26 from live profiles.
What it costs, by country
Each cell counts companies whose published minimum project budget falls in that band. Only countries with at least 5 listed companies appear.

How this table is built
- Figures are minimum project budgets companies publish on their own profiles — the floor below which they decline work, not the price of a finished project.
- USD only. Companies quote in six currencies and averaging across them produces a number nobody charges.
- Budgets outside $300–$2,000,000 and rates outside $5–$500/hr are dropped as data-entry errors.
- A country needs 5 listed companies for a row, and 5 published rates before a median rate is shown.
What will your budget reach?
Move the slider. Every figure below is a count of companies whose published minimum project budget sits at or under that amount.
210 of 626 companies (34%) take projects at this size.

This says who will engage, not what your scope should cost. A budget that reaches most of the market still buys very different things depending on what you are building.
Who is focused, and who has proved it
Horizontal: how concentrated a company is on AI development. Vertical: how much checkable evidence stands behind it. 59 of 1000 companies are plotted — the rest have fewer than 2 evidence signals, so placing them would be guesswork.

How a company is placed
- Focus is the inverse of how many categories a company claims, blended with the share of its portfolio tagged with this one. A firm listing three technologies is concentrated; a firm listing forty also appears here.
- Proven delivery adds published reviews (to 20), portfolio projects (to 25), Ahrefs Domain Rating (to 60) and years listed (to 10). Each is capped so no single signal carries a company to the top.
- Positions are relative to the other companies on this page: the median company sits at the centre of each axis, so a quadrant boundary means "ahead of half the companies listed here". Raw scores are in each bubble's tooltip.
- Deliberately excluded: the star rating, which sits in too narrow a band to separate anyone; the editorial rank, which is a hand-assigned sort weight; and paid verification, which does not move anything on this chart.
- Leaders:
- Concentrated on this work and with the record to show for it.
- Specialists:
- This is most of what they do, but the public evidence is still thin.
- Established generalists:
- A substantial track record, spread across many categories.
- Emerging:
- Building both focus and evidence.
Customer Reviews about AI development
Web Chemists
Заказывали у Web-Химиков работы по сайту и дальнейшей оптимизации. До этого уже был опыт с другими исполнителями, поэтому подход сравнить есть с чем. Здесь понравилась организованность: сначала собрали информацию, уточнили цели, потом предложили понятный план действий. В процессе не пропадали, держали связь и нормально реагировали на замечания. Отдельно отмечу, что не было ощущения, будто тебе просто продают услугу — чувствовалось, что люди реально погружены в проект. По итогу сайт стал удобнее, а по продвижению начали появляться заметные сдвиги. Впечатление положительное, работать было комфортно.
MOSKVA PRODUCTION
Благодарим команду креативного агентства ООО «МЕДИА ПРОДАКШН ГРУПП» (MOSKVA PRODUCTION) в лице Директора Христенко Кирилла Игоревича за помощь с реализацией проекта по созданию корпоративных видеороликов для нашей компании. Особенно хочется отметить высокий профессионализм команды по всей цепочке создания видеопродукта: начиная с этапа планирования и написания сценария, реализации съемочного процесса и заканчивая финальным этапом монтажа и внесения правок и корректировок по нашей просьбе. Желаем новых творческих проектов, экономического процветания и надеемся на дальнейшее сотрудничество!

What AI development covers
AI development is the engineering around a model rather than the model itself. Most commercial work today starts from a foundation model — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama — and consists of retrieval, tooling, evaluation, guardrails and deployment. Training a model from scratch is rare outside research labs and a handful of well-funded product companies.
That changes what you should look for in a vendor. Data engineering, prompt and context design, evaluation harnesses, cost control and MLOps decide whether a system works in production. A team that can only demo a notebook will struggle at the point where latency, accuracy and unit economics start to matter.
What teams build most often
- Retrieval-augmented assistants. Internal search and Q&A over a company's own documents, tickets and wikis, with citations back to the source.
- Agentic workflows. Multi-step automations that call tools and APIs, with a human approval step on anything irreversible.
- Document and data extraction. Turning invoices, contracts, forms and email into structured records that feed an ERP or CRM.
- Predictive models. Demand forecasting, churn, credit scoring, predictive maintenance — classic ML, still the highest-ROI category in most industries.
- Computer vision. Defect detection, counting, OCR, medical imaging support and video analytics.
- Recommendation and ranking. Personalised feeds, search relevance, pricing and matching.
How to choose an AI development partner
- Ask what they have shipped to production, not what they have prototyped. The gap between the two is where most AI budgets are lost.
- Ask how they evaluate quality. A team without an evaluation set and a regression suite cannot tell you whether a change made the system better or worse.
- Check data handling. Where does your data go, which model providers see it, is anything retained for training, and can the whole system run in your cloud tenancy or on-premise?
- Get the running cost, not just the build cost. Inference, vector storage and observability are recurring, and a badly designed pipeline can cost more per month than it did to build.
- Insist on a bounded first phase. A four-to-six-week discovery or pilot with a defined success metric is cheaper than discovering in month seven that the use case was never viable.
Budgets, timelines and team shape
A scoped pilot — one use case, one data source, a working interface — typically runs $15,000–$60,000 over six to twelve weeks. A production system with integrations, evaluation, monitoring and access control is usually $80,000–$400,000, and ongoing model and pipeline maintenance runs 15–25% of the build cost per year.
Hourly rates vary more by geography than by skill: roughly $120–$250 in the US and Western Europe, $40–$90 in Eastern Europe and Latin America, $25–$60 in South and Southeast Asia. A typical delivery team is one ML or AI engineer, one backend engineer, a data engineer part-time, and a product owner who understands the domain well enough to judge whether an answer is correct.
