How much does it cost to build a CRM with AI?

About $69 to $278, end to end, depending on which builder you point at it. Bolt.new comes out cheapest at $69 of tokens; Cursor + Claude is the expensive end at about $278 all-in. That is a CRM with 4 standard features, built by someone who iterates two or three times per feature — the ×2.5 iteration tax and the +40% debug surcharge are already in these numbers.

Contacts, pipelines, notes, and the reports nobody reads. Priced as a standard build.
