Transparent pricing

pricing. pricing for AI, automation & web projects

The real question isn’t what a project costs — it’s what the manual work is costing you every month.

If a task eats ten hours a week, even a modest automation pays for itself in months. The prices below are honest starting points for what business automation costs — from a single n8n workflow to an AI chatbot or a full web build — but every business runs differently, which is why the first step is always a free call, not an invoice. All prices in USD; one-time projects are fixed-price with a 50/50 split, retainers cover ongoing work and priority support. Not sure which fits? Let’s talk first.

Automating more than one process?

Some businesses need a single workflow. Others want their whole operation looked at — intake, sales, support, admin — and improved piece by piece over months. For that we scope a partnership around your operations, not a package. No sales pitch, just an honest conversation about what’s worth doing first.

FAQ

Pricing questions

The most common things business owners ask before they start.

Before we start, we put a rough number on the manual work: how many hours a week it takes and what those hours cost. If the automation doesn’t clearly beat that number, I’ll say so and recommend not building it. After launch we review the actual results together — hours saved is the measure, not lines of code shipped.

The prices shown are starting points — every business operates differently, so real projects are scoped individually after the free call — or you can describe your project and get a tailored estimate. I use fixed-price proposals for almost everything, which means once we agree, the price doesn’t change. No time-and-materials billing, no “it took longer than expected” invoices.

50% upfront to kick off the project, 50% on the day it goes live. For larger projects I sometimes split it into three milestones. You only pay the final balance when you’re satisfied with the work — the delivery date is agreed in the proposal.

A one-time project is a fixed scope with a clear start and end — you pay once and own everything. A monthly retainer is for clients who need ongoing work: feature additions, updates, bug fixes, and priority support on a predictable monthly budget. Retainer clients also get priority scheduling over new project enquiries.

Absolutely — this is actually how most of my long-term clients started. A Starter project is a great way to test the working relationship with a smaller budget and shorter timeline. If it goes well (and it usually does), it’s easy to scope the next phase from there.

Yes — for early-stage startups and registered non-profits I’m flexible on both price and payment structure. I’ve worked with several NGOs on reduced rates because I believe in what they’re doing. Tell me about your project and we’ll figure something out.

Bank transfer, Wise (formerly TransferWise), and PayPal. Wise is my preferred method as it’s the fastest and cheapest for international transfers. I issue a proper invoice for every payment, and all amounts are in USD unless agreed otherwise.

Not sure which fits? That’s normal.

Every business runs differently — that’s why the first step is a free 30-minute call, not a package. Tell me how your business runs today and I’ll tell you what I’d automate first, and roughly what it would cost.
