2 Tiers

Pick the tier that matches where you are today.

Most clients start with an audit to get clarity, then move to a Build once priorities are clear. If you already know the problem, skip straight to Build.

Why ranges, not fixed prices?

Every automation project is different. Final price depends on the number of tools to integrate, data volume, and how much custom logic is required. The ranges above are based on real projects we've delivered. You get an exact fixed quote after the free 30-minute audit, no surprises.

What's NOT included in the build price

  • We help you set up these accounts and estimate usage before the build begins.

  • Build: 50% up front, 50% on go-live.

Pricing FAQ

Questions about pricing, answered upfront.

The questions I get on every first call about pricing, answered here so your call time isn't spent on money talk.

Because every automation is different. A WhatsApp agent for a grocery shop is ₹45,000. A multi-step lead-gen system that integrates 6 tools is ₹1,20,000. Showing one number for both would be dishonest. You get a fixed quote after the free audit.
Yes, and most clients do. The Audit fee is credited toward a Build if you proceed within 30 days. So if you pay ₹20,000 for the Audit and move to a ₹60,000 Build, you only owe ₹40,000 more.
Running costs are paid by you directly to the providers (n8n server, OpenAI/Claude API usage, WhatsApp Business API). Typical total: ₹1,500–₹8,000/month. The WhatsApp AI agent case study runs on ₹1,500/mo. A heavier lead-gen system might hit ₹8,000/mo. I help you estimate usage before the build.
Yes, but only after the Audit. That's the whole point of the Audit: exact scope, exact tools, exact price. No scope creep, no surprise invoices.
I quote the delta before changing anything and you approve it in writing. No surprise invoices, ever. Most projects finish at the original quote.
Wire transfer, Razorpay, and Wise for international clients. Builds are 50% up front, 50% on go-live. System Maintenance (optional add-on) is billed monthly in advance.
Yes, 100% remote, global timezones. International clients are billed in equivalent USD: Audit $200–$300, Build $600–$1,500. Invoices compliant with Indian tax requirements for cross-border services.
