How We Price

Honest pricing.
No surprises.

Too many agencies hide their pricing because they want to get you on a call before you can say no. We don't do that.

How We Price

We'll tell you if it's not worth it.

Here's how our pricing works: there's a setup fee to build and deploy your AI employee, and a monthly subscription to operate it. The setup fee covers the process mapping, system design, and initial build. The monthly subscription covers ongoing operation, maintenance, and updates.

We'll also tell you when it doesn't make sense. If the tedious work in your business is under ~3 hours a week, the math doesn't work in your favor. We'll tell you that on the audit call and point you toward a cheaper solution.

"When we put in the work, we get paid. But we're not going to charge you for work that doesn't deliver value."

The Plans

Two components. One system.

Every engagement has two parts: a one-time setup fee and a monthly subscription. The setup fee varies based on complexity. The monthly subscription depends on what we're operating.

Starter
Setup
Starting at $3,000
Monthly
Starting at $1,000/mo
Best for: Businesses with 1–2 core workflows to automate
  • Process mapping and workflow documentation
  • 1–2 AI employee use cases
  • 30/60/90-day dial-in
  • Monthly operation and maintenance
  • Performance reporting
  • Updates when your process changes
Not included: Multiple workflow categories, advanced integrations
Growth
Setup
Starting at $5,000
Monthly
Starting at $1,500/mo
Best for: Businesses with 3–5 workflows to automate across multiple categories
  • Everything in Starter
  • 3–5 AI employee use cases
  • Multiple workflow categories (marketing, CRM, operations, etc.)
  • Advanced integrations
  • Priority support
  • Quarterly strategy reviews
Most common starting point for established small businesses
Custom
Setup

Monthly
Let's talk
Best for: Businesses with complex workflows, multiple systems, or specific requirements
  • Everything in Growth
  • Custom scope based on your specific situation
  • Dedicated build timeline
  • Custom integrations
  • Ongoing strategic partnership

All prices are starting points. The actual cost depends on the complexity of your workflows and the number of use cases. We'll give you an exact quote after the process audit.

What You Get

What the monthly subscription actually pays for.

The setup fee builds the system. The monthly subscription keeps it working. Here's what that means in practice:

System monitoring
We watch your AI employee's output and catch problems before they become expensive. If something breaks, we fix it — you don't have to.
Process updates
Your business changes. When it does, we update the system. New workflow? Changed process? We adjust the AI employee to match.
Performance reporting
Monthly reporting on what the AI employee is doing, what's working, and what we're adjusting. No black boxes.
Optimization
We're always looking for ways to improve output quality and expand capabilities. The system gets better over time.
Honest communication
If something isn't working, we'll tell you. If we think you should change your approach, we'll tell you. No sugarcoating.
Is This Worth It For You?

The honest math.

Here's how to think about whether this makes financial sense for your business:

The calculation
  • How many hours per week are you spending on tedious operational work?
  • What's your effective hourly rate (revenue ÷ hours worked)?
  • If the tedious work is costing you more than the subscription — in time, in missed opportunities, in decisions not made — the math works.

If you're making $20K/month and spending 15 hours/week on tedious work, that's roughly $115/hour of your time. 15 hours × $115 = $1,725/week in time cost. A $1,500/month subscription that eliminates most of that work pays for itself in the first week.

When it does make sense:
  • You're making $15K+/month and want to grow
  • You're spending 10+ hours/week on work that doesn't require your brain
  • You've tried DIY AI and it stalled
  • You want someone accountable for keeping the system running
When it doesn't make sense:
  • Tedious work is under ~3 hours/week (the savings don't justify the cost)
  • You're making under $10K/month (the math is tighter; we'll discuss on the call)
  • You need it done in a week (the 30–90 day dial-in is non-negotiable)
  • You want a magic solution that works without any setup effort
Your Options

Your real alternatives.
And when each one makes sense.

We're not the right choice for everyone. Here's an honest look at your options:

Option 1: DIY with tools (n8n, Zapier, ChatGPT)
Cost
Low ($50–200/month in tools)
Best for
People who enjoy systems work and will actually maintain it
The catch
The tools are fine. The missing piece is process design and someone accountable for keeping it running. If you stalled on a DIY attempt, that's why — not the tools.
Option 2: Hire a human VA
Cost
$1,500–4,000/month
Best for
Work that requires human judgment, relationship management, or real-time responsiveness
The catch
A VA brings judgment but costs more, doesn't scale, and leaves with the knowledge when they go.
Option 3: Productized AI platform
Cost
$99–500/month
Best for
Standard workflows that match what the platform was built for
The catch
Generic by design. Works great if your process is average. Breaks down when your workflow is specific.
Option 4: Build-only agency
Cost
$3,000–15,000 setup, then you're on your own
Best for
Teams with internal capacity to operate and maintain the system
The catch
The build was never the hard part. Month three, when your process changes and the workflow drifts, is when you find out what you actually bought.
Option 5: rootNative
Cost
$3,000–5,000+ setup, $1,000–1,500+/month
Best for
Business owners making $15K+/month who want someone accountable for building AND operating the system
The difference
We stay. The monthly subscription pays for ongoing operation, not just access to a tool.
