The Real Cost of NOT Automating
Before we talk prices, let's do the math:
| Task | Time/Week | Weekly Cost | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reply to enquiries | 5 hours | $225 | $11,700 |
| Data entry | 4 hours | $140 | $7,280 |
| Follow-ups | 3 hours | $135 | $7,020 |
| Reporting | 2 hours | $90 | $4,680 |
Total annual cost of manual work: $30,680
A decent AI automation system pays for itself in 3–4 months.

What Affects Cost
These DON'T matter much:
- Company size (we price by complexity, not headcount)
- Industry (tradie, lawyer, cafe — same tech, same price)
- Location (we work with businesses Australia-wide)
These DO matter:
- Number of systems to connect (more integrations = more time)
- Custom logic required (simple rules vs. AI decision-making)
- Data quality (clean data = fast setup)
- Volume of transactions (affects AI training time)
