Instant Automation Cost Quote Generator

5 questions. 60 seconds. A real price range for your specific workflows — no email, no obligation.

What would it actually cost?

Tell us your industry, what you want to automate, and how urgent it is. We'll give you a ballpark estimate built from real project data.

What actually drives the cost of automation.

Custom automation isn't priced like SaaS. There's no monthly fee — just a one-time build cost based on four factors. Here's how each one affects your quote.

The four pricing factors described in this section.
01

Number of Workflows

Each distinct process you want to automate adds to the scope. A single email follow-up sequence is straightforward. Combining lead capture, CRM updates, invoicing, and Slack notifications is a larger build.

02

Number of Integrations

Every tool that needs to connect adds build time. A two-tool integration (e.g. form → spreadsheet) is simple. Connecting five systems with bidirectional sync and error handling is a different project.

03

Team Size & Scale

An automation built for a 3-person team can be lightweight. One that handles 500 transactions/day for a 50-person team needs more robust error handling, logging, and reliability engineering.

04

Timeline & Urgency

Standard timelines allow thorough scoping and testing. Rush projects require more parallel resources and careful handoff planning, which increases cost by 10–35%.

05

What's Not in the Price

The quote covers design, build, testing, and handoff documentation. It does not include third-party API costs (most are free or near-free at SMB scale) or ongoing SaaS subscriptions you already pay.

06

Fixed Price, No Surprises

Every project starts with a free scoping call where we confirm requirements and provide a firm fixed-price quote. If the scope changes after that, we discuss it openly before proceeding — no surprise invoices.

LIMITED PILOT SLOTS EACH MONTH

Thirty minutes.
We'll tell you exactly
where your ROI is.

No sales deck. No 50-page report you have to pay for before anything gets built. Just a direct conversation about which of your workflows are costing the most and whether AI can fix them. If there's no compelling answer, we'll say so. And it's a conversation with Kash, our founder, not a rep reading from a script, because the person who built this business is the one who should understand yours.
