Pricing That Makes Sense
We price based on what was actually built — not on a package we decided on before understanding your business.
How It Works
Every automation is made up of individual steps — each one a distinct action your system performs, like receiving a form submission, applying a condition, transforming data, or triggering an output.
More steps, more complexity — more cost. Fewer steps, less complexity — less cost. Your price reflects the real work required, nothing more.
Why We Measure During the Build
Some complexity only becomes visible once we're inside the work. A step that looks simple upfront can involve edge cases, error handling, and coordination that changes its weight. We log every step in real time in our Origin Build Log and hand that log to you at delivery — so you see what was built and exactly what you're paying for.
You're never guessing. Neither are we.
Deposits & Final Pricing
Projects begin with a 50% deposit based on our initial estimate. The final price is reconciled against actual steps completed. It will never exceed 2× the original estimate — and that ceiling is there by design, not as a warning.
How Complexity Works
Automation complexity isn’t always fully visible upfront. We estimate using base prices, then measure complexity (1x, 1.5X, 2x) during the build based on real structure and behavior (fully logged and handed over).

How to Start
Request a Build — use the button below.
Prospect Form — light context on your business so we know how to approach the conversation.
Discovery Call — a straightforward conversation where we get to know you, your business, and where automation could actually make a difference for your operation.
Origin Intake — deeper form we send after the call. Covers your tools, goals, and setup details so we can scope the build accurately.
Agreement & 50% deposit — contract via DocuSign, payment via Stripe.
Credentials & access — OAuth connections you authenticate directly. Non-OAuth credentials you either enter yourself or send once via secure link. Nothing is stored.
Build, QA & Handoff — we build and document everything, you review, pay the remaining balance, and receive the complete system.
Quick FAQ
What are "steps"?
A step is one clear action your automation performs — like receiving a form, checking a condition, sending data, or updating a system. More steps = more logic, testing, and responsibility. Your price is based on how many steps are needed and how complex they are — nothing more.
Why measure complexity during the build rather than upfront?
Because real complexity reveals itself in the work. Estimating everything upfront leads to either overcharging you on guesses or under-delivering on scope. We do neither.
Will the final price surprise me?
No. You receive a per-step breakdown and the Origin Build Log at handoff. The 2× cap means you always know the worst-case number before we start.
How fast do change requests move?
Depends on the scope. We always provide a clear estimate and keep you updated throughout.
