Three ladders, published floors, and a fixed price at the end of week one. Engagements start at $5K and most projects run $15K to $80K.
Most software and AI suppliers treat price as the last thing you learn. That works for the supplier and costs you three weeks. So here is the whole ladder: what the first rung costs, what the typical band is above it, how long each rung takes and what you actually receive. If the floor is above your budget you will know in ten seconds rather than after a proposal.
The numbers below are floors and ranges, not quotes. Every engagement gets a fixed price at the end of the first week — the audit for automation, the scoping engagement for software, the pilot batch for ads. That week exists so the fixed price is real. We would rather charge for the week than guess for free and correct the guess in an invoice later.
The same ladder is quoted to a two-person startup and to an insurance carrier. What moves the price is the work, not the logo: how much of your process is written down, how many systems have to be integrated, how accurate the output has to be without a human in the loop, and how much of your security and procurement process we have to pass through. That list is spelled out further down the page.
the short version
Nothing on this page is a starting position for a negotiation. It is what we charge.
Four rungs from a two-week scoping engagement to a standing team. Custom software, LLM products and AI agents, designed and engineered by the same people.
Who it is for. You know the problem, not the shape of the solution, and you need a number your board will accept before anyone writes code.
Book a scoping callWho it is for. Teams testing whether an AI feature or a new product is worth funding, and who need something a customer can use rather than a deck about it.
Scope a prototypeWho it is for. Companies putting a product in front of customers or staff who depend on it, where downtime and wrong answers both have a cost.
Software developmentWho it is for. Clients who have shipped with us and want the same people to keep building, without running a permanent hiring process.
Talk about a teamWho it is for. Programmes above $150,000, or anything where legal, security and procurement have to sign before engineering starts.
Start with scopingThe honest bit. Scoping is $5,000 and it is credited against the build if you go ahead within 60 days. If the two weeks show that the build is not worth doing — the volume is too low, an off-the-shelf tool already covers it, or the data is not there yet — that is what the report says, and $5,000 is the entire cost of finding out.
Ad work starts at $1,800 for a one-off pilot batch, or $3,500 for your first month. Above the pilot it is priced per finished ad and billed monthly — and a finished ad means scripted, generated, cut for Meta and TikTok, captioned, cropped and tagged, not a raw clip you still have to edit.
Who it is for. Advertisers spending $20,000 a month or more who want to see whether AI creative beats their control before signing anything monthly.
Book the pilotWho it is for. Accounts where creative supply, not budget, is the ceiling — the winner burns out before the next batch lands.
AI video adsWho it is for. Brands running paid social as a primary channel, at the volume Helio Home ran to reach 3.1x blended ROAS across 340 ads.
See the Helio Home caseWho it is for. Advertisers whose per-ad cost matters more than the monthly total, and who can absorb a standing weekly delivery.
Ask for a volume quoteThe honest bit. The pilot is deliberately small so that a no is cheap. If 12 ads do not beat your control on cost per acquisition within 30 days of testing, stop there — you keep the ads and the hook library either way, and we will tell you plainly whether more volume is likely to change the answer or whether the problem is the offer rather than the creative.
Automation is priced off measured hours, not off a tool licence. The audit counts the hours first so the pilot can be quoted against a number you already believe.
Who it is for. Operations leads who suspect a process is expensive but cannot yet prove it in hours, and need the map before the build.
Book an auditWho it is for. Teams with one clearly painful process — invoice matching, lead routing, onboarding paperwork — that runs often enough to pay back inside a year.
AI automationWho it is for. Operations spanning several teams and systems, of the kind that took Coastline Logistics from 14 manual steps to one trigger.
See the Coastline caseWho it is for. Companies running automations that the business now depends on, without an internal person who owns them.
Talk about supportWho it is for. Operations where the constraint is compliance or legacy systems rather than the workflow logic itself.
Start with the auditThe honest bit. The $2,000 audit is refunded against the pilot if you go ahead. If the week shows the workflow should not be automated — the volume is too low, the rules change every month, or the real problem is upstream in how the data arrives — the report says so and recommends what to do instead. You keep the process map either way.
Three engagements at three points on the ladder, with the band each was actually delivered in and how long it took.
A claims workbench with an LLM layer that reads the file, checks coverage against the policy and drafts a recommendation with citations.
42% faster claim decisions in the first 90 days.
Fourteen manual steps between an order and a dispatch rebuilt as one automated run on n8n, with custom Python for the matching logic.
698 hours a month reclaimed; a two-day cycle became three minutes 56 seconds.
A weekly AI video ad pipeline: hooks scripted against the winners in the account, generated, cut for Meta and TikTok, tagged for testing.
3.1x blended ROAS across 340 ads in 12 months.
Bands and durations as invoiced. Outcome numbers come from each client’s own systems and are documented in the linked case study.
Two companies asking for the same feature can be a month apart in effort, and the difference is almost never the feature. It is the state of everything around it: whether the process exists on paper, whether the systems have APIs, whether the data is one record or four half-records, and how wrong the output is allowed to be.
The audit or scoping week exists to find out which side of each of these rows you are on. That is why the fixed price arrives at the end of it rather than on the first call — a quote given before anyone has looked at your data is a guess wearing a number, and the correction always lands in your invoice, not ours.
The one thing that does not change the price is who is asking. There is no enterprise multiplier here. A carrier pays more than a startup only when the work is genuinely bigger: more integrations, a security questionnaire, a data residency requirement, a migration off an incumbent supplier.
The floors above are the lowest price at which this work is still worth buying from us. If your budget sits under them, the pages below say plainly what you get at the floor, what you do not get, and when a freelancer or an in-house hire is the better trade. None of them claim to be the cheapest option available.
The number you get on the scoping call is a range, and it is deliberately wide — usually plus or minus 40%. The number you get at the end of the audit or scoping week is a fixed price, and it is the one we hold ourselves to: if we scope it wrong, the overrun is ours rather than yours. Holding that line is what the first week buys, and it is why the first week is charged for rather than skipped.
Builds are fixed price against a written scope. Retainers are a fixed monthly fee for a named team and an agreed output — 30 ads, or on-call plus a workflow a quarter. We do not bill by the hour, because it makes our incentive the opposite of yours.
Fixed-price builds are invoiced 40% on signature, 40% at the midpoint demo and 20% on handover. Retainers are billed monthly in advance with 30 days notice to stop. Audits and scoping are invoiced in full at the start, because they are small and they are the thing that de-risks everything after them. Terms are net 14, in USD, EUR or GBP.
You do, outright, from the first commit. That means the repository, the infrastructure definitions, the evaluation suites, the automation workflows, the hook library and the source projects behind every ad. There is no licence to renew and no platform of ours you have to keep paying for. Eazetech keeps no access after the 30-day support window unless you ask us to stay.
For software: a named team of two to five people, a roadmap you set and re-cut every two weeks, dependency and model upgrades, on-call for what we built, and a written monthly report. For automation, from $2,500 a month: monitoring, fixes when your suppliers change their formats, one new or rebuilt workflow per quarter, and a note on run volume and failures. For ads: the agreed number of finished ads a month, delivered weekly, with the hooks rewritten against the previous week's results.
Because the alternative wastes a week of your time and ours. If our floor is above your budget you should know that in ten seconds, not after three calls and a proposal. Publishing also keeps us honest: the same ladder is quoted to a two-person startup and a carrier, and the price moves for reasons we can name, which is what the section above this one is for.
The $2,000 automation audit, which is one week and one workflow area. Below that we are not the right supplier and we will say so on the call — a single Zapier connection is a job for a freelancer, and paying agency rates for it is a bad trade. If your budget is genuinely tight, start with the affordable pages: they list what you get at the floor and what you do not.
Small changes inside the agreed shape are absorbed; we do not run a change-request desk over a day of work. Anything that adds a workstream gets priced as its own two-week slice before it starts, and you decide whether it goes in now, goes in later, or displaces something already planned. Nothing gets added to an invoice you have not agreed in writing first.
No. The 30-minute scoping call is free, and it ends with a fit answer and a rough range. The $5,000 scoping engagement is a different thing: two weeks of a product lead and an engineer producing an architecture, a build plan and a fixed price. It is credited against the build if you go ahead within 60 days.
We do not discount the rate, because the price is already the one we publish to everyone. We do trade price against commitment: quarterly ad volume above 80 a month drops the per-ad cost below $150, and a twelve-month retainer signed up front is billed at eleven months. Staged payment against milestones is the default for builds, and we have split programmes across two budget years for clients who needed it.
Thirty minutes on a call gives you a fit answer and a rough range. The fixed price follows at the end of the audit or scoping week. Alex Novak, delivery director, replies within one business day.
