Let's Start With That Free Call

Here's What It Actually Costs

No games, no "call for pricing." Just honest numbers from someone who's been on both sides of the table.

The Discovery Call

$500

(but hear me out)

I'll spend an hour or so digging into what's actually eating your day. You get a complete roadmap of what to automate first, what it'll cost, and how much time you'll get back.

If you move forward, this $500 gets credited to your project. If you don't, you still have a plan you can use however you want.

Why I charge for this: Because free consultations are sales pitches. Paid ones are honest assessments.

100% credited if you proceed

The Real Work

Starting at $1,500

Every business is different

Every business is different. A plumber's automation needs aren't the same as a law firm's. After our discovery call, you'll know exactly what your project costs.

Simple stuff: $1,500-2,500

(like automated invoice reminders)

Complex systems: $3,500-8,000

(like full client onboarding workflows)

No surprises. No scope creep. The price we agree on is the price you pay.

2-3 week turnaround

Keeping It Running

$400-800/month

(Optional)

Automations need care as your business grows. I'll monitor everything, fix what breaks, and optimize as you scale. Most clients choose this because peace of mind is worth $400.

Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. No hard feelings.

Optional - month to month

How this works:

Most of my clients save 20+ hours per week within the first month. At $50/hour (conservative), that's $1,000/week in your time back. The automation pays for itself pretty quickly.

The bottom line: I'm not the cheapest option. I'm the "get it done right the first time" option.
