# What a chatter costs and what an AI agent costs, in public figures only

The monthly cost of one chatter seat from public postings, set against the two published pricing shapes of AI chatting software, without naming a vendor.

The human side has a unit: one seat, one shift. Posting 1702660 on OnlineJobs.ph states $2.00 an hour plus 3% commission. Its description says "8 hours/day, 6 days/week", which is 48 hours, while the posting's own "hours per week" box says 40; the desk prints both and does not pick one, so the weekly base is $80 to $96 before commission, a desk calculation on the posting's two figures. Posting 1681372 states $3.65 an hour for 45 hours a week, that is $164.25 a week. One seat covers one shift; how many seats an agency runs per creator is not stated in either posting.

The software side has no such unit. The AI chatting category of the Tools OFM directory, a site of the same network as this desk, lists three tools on 2026-09-14, two of them with a public price. The two published price shapes are a weekly or monthly fee per seat or per creator, from $5 a week billed monthly at the bottom of that page to $70 a month per creator at the top, and a commission of 10% to 15% of what the software sells, charged by one vendor on top of its monthly fee. The third tool publishes no price at all.

| Unit | What is published | Where |
|---|---|---|
| One chatter, one shift | $2.00 to $3.65 an hour, 40 to 48 hours a week, plus 3% commission where stated | Two Philippine postings, read 2026-09-17 |
| One creator, software | $5 a week to $70 a month, plus 10% to 15% of AI sales where charged | Tools OFM category page, read 2026-09-17 |

The comparison stops there because the units differ. A chatter cost is fixed per hour regardless of sales; a software commission scales with sales and a subscription does not. What the software produces per creator against what a rota produces is not published by anyone, and no independent measurement exists. The desk prints the prices and not a verdict.

Vendors are not named here on purpose. Their public price lists are on the directory page cited, with the date each was read.
