What affects price

What moves the price up or down

Every business is different, so the audit ends with a written price for your exact job. These five things decide it.

  • How many workflows

    Each automation is its own build. Answering after-hours texts is one workflow; texts, quotes and invoices that hand work to each other are three.

  • How many tools must connect

    Something that lives inside your Gmail is simpler than one that moves information between your phone system, calendar, QuickBooks and a spreadsheet.

  • How much cleanup your data needs

    If your price list, customer list or past jobs live in notebooks and old files, we tidy them first so the AI has something solid to work from.

  • How many people we train

    Two people at one desk take less time than a whole office or a field crew learning on their phones.

  • Time on site

    The first visit and the training happen at your place; much of the build is done remotely. More locations or extra visits add time.

  • Want your number?

    The free visit is where we figure out what’s worth automating and roughly what it would cost. No pressure, no pitch.

No markup

You pay software vendors directly.

Your AI subscriptions and apps are billed to you by the vendor, at their normal price, in your business’s name. We don’t resell software or add a markup, and you own every account.

  • We tell you what each tool costs before you sign up for anything.
  • We check what you already pay for first. Some Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 plans include AI features.
  • If you stop working with us, every account, file and automation stays with you.

For comparison

Remote agencies we’ve looked at quote simple automations at roughly $2,500–$5,000.

That’s what we’ve seen quoted, not a survey. Our builds start at $3,500 per workflow, in that same range. So the difference isn’t the sticker price. It’s what comes with it.

  • Someone comes to your office and watches how the work really gets done
  • Everything is built on your accounts, in your business’s name
  • Tested on your real work before you rely on it
  • Your team trained in person, plus a written how-to
  • A local 518 number to call when something needs a tweak

Cost & contracts

Money questions, straight answers

If yours isn’t here, call or text. You’ll get a straight answer from a person.

What does it cost?

The first visit or call is free. After that, prices start at $500 for a workflow audit (credited toward any build), $1,500 for AI setup and team training, $3,500 per automation and $350 a month for a care plan. Those are starting prices; you get the final price in writing after the audit, before any work begins. Software subscriptions are billed to you directly by the vendor, with no markup from us.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. The audit, setup and builds are one-time projects with a written price. The monthly care plan is month to month, and you can cancel anytime. Either way, everything we built stays with you.

Do I pay for the AI software separately?

Yes. Tools like ChatGPT, Claude or Microsoft Copilot bill you directly at their normal price, and the accounts are in your name. We don’t resell or mark up software, and we tell you what each tool costs before you sign up for anything. Some plans you may already pay for, like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, include some AI features, so we check those first.
