Most Indian website quotes price the build and quietly leave out the year that follows — hosting, domain renewal, SSL, patching, content edits, and now an AI assistant that visitors expect on every page. This is what a managed AI website actually costs in India in 2026, using our own published contract prices rather than a range invented for an article.
- Managed AI website
- A website that the vendor designs, builds, deploys, hosts, monitors, maintains and operates for a fixed contract term — with an AI assistant (for us, a PsyCortex assistant grounded in your own documents) answering visitor questions on every page.
- Build-only quotes hide the eleven months after launch. Price the year.
- Our Essential contract is ₹1,20,000/year — ₹10,000/month equivalent.
- Growth is ₹3,00,000/year. Pro and Enterprise are quoted on scope.
- Capacity is measured in RPM — a speed limit, not a monthly quota.
- No per-token billing on contracted website packages.
- Launch target is about 30 days once content is supplied.
What actually goes into the number
A working website in 2026 is six cost lines, not one: design and frontend build, backend and forms, hosting, domain and SSL, ongoing maintenance and security patching, and the AI assistant. Quotes that look cheap usually price the first two and hand you the rest as your problem in month two.
- Frontend build. Responsive layout, content structure, accessibility, performance.
- Backend and logic. Forms, enquiry capture, integrations, admin visibility.
- Hosting. Deployment pipeline, environments, uptime and error monitoring.
- Domain and SSL. DNS configuration and certificate renewal — third-party fees are separate.
- Maintenance. Corrective fixes plus a defined cycle of small content edits.
- AI assistant. An assistant trained on your own documents, sized by capacity.
Our published prices
- Essential — ₹1,20,000 / year (₹10,000 / month equivalent) · 50 RPM · 1 small-edit cycle per month
- Growth — ₹3,00,000 / year (₹25,000 / month equivalent) · 150 RPM · 1 small-edit cycle per week
- Pro — Quoted on scope (Quoted on scope) · 300 RPM · 1 small-edit cycle per week
- Enterprise — Custom SOW (Custom SOW) · Unlimited (custom) · Custom cadence
These are twelve-month contracts billed annually. We publish them because a website buyer should be able to budget before a sales call, not after three.
Why we do not bill contracted websites per token
Per-token billing makes a website's monthly cost a function of how popular it was — which is precisely the month you least want a variable bill. On contracted website packages we do not bill per token; capacity is expressed in RPM and the price is the plan price. Our separately purchased PsyCortex chat and developer API products keep their own published metered pricing, which is a different product with a different shape of demand.
We do not promise a fixed percentage of savings against an agency retainer, because we cannot see the invoice you are comparing against. We promise a number you can put in a budget line for twelve months.
Timeline: what "about 30 days" means honestly
Month one is design, build, deployment and launch, targeted at roughly 30 days. That target assumes content, brand assets, domain access and approvals arrive when asked for; the most common cause of a slipped launch is a pending content decision on the client side, not engineering. Months two to twelve are hosting, monitoring, maintenance, small edits and operating the assistant.
How to compare quotes without getting fooled
- Ask for the twelve-month total, not the build price.
- Ask who pays for hosting, domain renewal and SSL after launch.
- Ask what an "edit" is and how many you get per month.
- Ask whether AI usage is metered, and what happens when it spikes.
- Ask what happens at renewal, and who owns the code and the domain.
- Ask to see something the vendor runs themselves, in production.
On that last point: BharatNeurotech.com and CheckMentalHealth.in run on the same managed stack we sell. They are the reference, not a portfolio screenshot.

Frequently asked
- What does an AI-powered website cost in India in 2026?
- Bharat NeuroTech publishes its managed contracts: Essential is ₹1,20,000 per year (₹10,000 per month equivalent, 50 RPM AI capacity, one small-edit cycle per month) and Growth is ₹3,00,000 per year (₹25,000 per month equivalent, 150 RPM, weekly edit cycles). Pro (300 RPM) and Enterprise are quoted on scope. Those prices cover build, hosting, maintenance and the AI assistant for twelve months, not just the build.
- Is website hosting included or billed separately?
- On a Bharat NeuroTech managed contract, hosting, deployment, SSL configuration, monitoring and corrective maintenance are included for the full twelve months. Third-party costs you buy in your own name — domain registration renewal and any paid external services — remain separate and are stated up front.
- What does RPM mean on a website plan?
- RPM is requests per minute: how many questions your site's AI assistant can serve inside any single minute. It is a speed limit, not a monthly quota — nothing is deducted from a balance and nothing expires at month end. Sustained demand above the ceiling is the signal to move to a higher plan.
- Will I be billed per token for the AI on my website?
- No. Contracted managed-website packages carry no per-token billing; capacity is expressed in RPM and the price is the plan price for the term. Bharat NeuroTech's separately purchased PsyCortex chat and developer API products keep their own published metered pricing.
- How long does it take to build and launch?
- The target is about 30 days from kickoff to a live site, followed by eleven months of hosting, maintenance and operation. That target assumes content, brand assets, domain access and approvals arrive when requested — pending client-side content decisions are the most common cause of a slipped launch.
- How do I compare website quotes fairly?
- Ask every vendor for the twelve-month total rather than the build price, who pays for hosting and domain renewal after launch, what counts as an edit and how many you get, whether AI usage is metered, what happens at renewal, and who owns the code and domain. Then ask to see a production site the vendor runs themselves.
Bharat NeuroTech builds, deploys and operates managed websites with a built-in PsyCortex AI assistant on a 12-month contract starting at ₹10,000 per month equivalent.
