In short

Project work costs $1,500 to $90,000, depending on the service and scope. An AI readiness audit runs $3,000 to $15,000, a single-workflow automation $4,000 to $10,000 and a custom AI agent $15,000 to $90,000. Monthly retainers run $1,500 to $15,000. Every project gets a fixed price per phase, in writing, before any work starts.

Audit, build or retainer

Every service is sold in one of these 3 shapes. They can run in order, audit then build then retainer, and each one also stands on its own.

Audit

A fixed-price assessment or advisory phase that ends in a written plan.

$3,000 to $40,000

We map the processes, systems or website in scope and rank what to fix or build by return, cost and risk. Consulting phases can add pilots on your data, and workshops are priced the same way, per session. The plan is detailed enough for your own developers to build from, so you are free to take it elsewhere.

Billing
One fixed price, agreed in writing before work starts
Typical length
1 to 10 weeks

You get

  • A written report with a ranked list of opportunities
  • Cost, effort and risk for each one
  • A budget estimate or fixed-price proposal for the first build

Sold this way

Build

Automations, AI systems and websites, built and put into production.

$1,500 to $90,000

A pilot runs on your real data first and is measured against a pass mark you agreed. If it passes, we harden it into a production system with tests, logging and human approval where the stakes call for it. Every week of the build ends with a demo of working software.

Billing
Fixed price per phase
Typical length
1 to 16 weeks

You get

  • A production system on your own accounts
  • A runbook, architecture notes and the test set
  • Training for the people who use it

Sold this way

Retainer

A monthly plan for live systems, search work or a fractional AI lead.

$1,500 to $15,000 a month

Monitoring, fixes, prompt tuning and a monthly report for systems in production, or monthly search work with rankings and AI citations reported in plain sentences. A fractional AI lead in your leadership meetings runs the same way. Tiers are set by volume, response times and change hours.

Billing
A monthly fee set by tier or scope
Typical length
3 or 6 month minimum, listed on each service

You get

  • Monitoring and alerts, or an agreed monthly workload
  • A monthly report you can read in 5 minutes
  • An improvement backlog you prioritize with us

What changes the price of a project?

A project moves up or down its band on 5 things. The written scope names each one, so you can drop a driver to bring the price down.

DriverLower in the bandHigher in the band
ScopeOne workflow for one team, with one person who can sign it off.Several processes across departments, each with its own owner and exceptions.
Systems and integrations1 or 2 tools with documented APIs, such as HubSpot and Gmail.5 or more systems, an ERP, or a legacy tool with no API that needs a workaround.
Data qualityClean, structured inputs such as web form entries or CRM fields.Scanned PDFs, handwriting, mixed formats and duplicates that need cleaning first.
ComplianceNo personal or regulated data in the flow.Regulated data, audit logs, approval steps and a data processing or business associate agreement.
SpeedThe standard timeline listed for the service.A fixed launch date that needs more people working on it in parallel.

Billing basics

How the money works once a scope is signed. The rest of what comes with every engagement is on one list.

See what you can hold us to

Fixed price per phase
Fixed
Each phase has one fixed price in the written scope. It changes only if the scope does, and only after you approve the change in writing.
Change requests
$175 an hour
Small changes outside the agreed scope are quoted as a written estimate before any work starts. Bigger ones become a new phase with its own fixed price.
Model and tool usage
At cost
OpenAI, Anthropic, Twilio, vector database and per-page extraction fees are billed to your own accounts with no markup. The proposal estimates the monthly running cost at your volume.
Software subscriptions
Direct
Platform plans such as n8n, Make, Zapier or your CRM are paid by you directly, on accounts in your name, so nothing stops working if we part ways.
Travel
At cost
Remote work is the default. Travel for on-site workshops or kickoffs is billed at cost and agreed before anyone books a ticket.
Price reviews
6 months
We review every price band every 6 months. A signed scope keeps its price for the length of the project.

Questions about pricing and contracts

How does your pricing work?

Each phase of a project has its own fixed price, set in the written scope before anything starts, and it holds unless you approve a change. The figure comes from the band published on that service page, and the scope names what placed your project where it sits in the band. Ongoing work, such as care plans and SEO retainers, is a flat monthly fee.

Who owns the code, workflows and prompts?

You do. The work lives in your n8n or Make workspace, under your OpenAI or Anthropic API keys, in your cloud and in your code repository. Code, workflows, prompts, test sets and data all belong to you, and the contract says so. Nothing sits behind a platform we control or a license we charge for. If you end the relationship tomorrow, you keep a working system and the documentation to run it.

Are AI model and software costs included in the price?

No, and that is deliberate. Usage from OpenAI, Anthropic, Twilio, vector databases and similar vendors is billed to your own accounts at cost, with no markup from us, so you see every invoice directly. The proposal includes an estimate of monthly running costs at your expected volume. You know the fixed build price and the likely ongoing cost before you sign anything.

What moves a project to the top or bottom of its price band?

Mostly the number of systems a build connects and how messy the inputs are. A workflow that moves clean web form entries into HubSpot sits near the bottom of its band. One that reads scanned PDFs, writes to your ERP and routes exceptions to a reviewer sits near the top. Human approval steps, audit logs and regulated data push the price up further. The written scope names each driver, so you can drop one to bring the price down.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. Send your NDA before the scoping call and we will sign it within 1 working day, or we can send our own mutual NDA. When a project touches personal data, we also sign a data processing agreement and follow your vendor and security requirements. During scoping we ask for samples in place of full exports wherever a sample is enough, so less of your data leaves your systems before there is a contract.

What if our requirements change mid-project?

We write the change down, price it and wait for your approval before doing the work. Small changes are billed at $175 an hour against a written estimate. Bigger ones usually fit better as a second phase with its own fixed price. Because you see working software at the weekly demo, most changes surface early, when they cost an hour to fix and not a week.
