Pricing

Straightforward packages. Transparent costs.

Every automation has three parts: building the solution, running the technology behind it, and maintaining it over time. We'll help you understand the full cost before your project begins.

Implementation packages

Prices are starting points. Every project receives a custom quote based on its scope, complexity, and requirements. Third-party software, hosting, and usage fees are separate unless explicitly included in your proposal.

The full picture

The three costs every customer should understand.

An automation has more than one cost. We break everything down into three parts so you know what to expect before committing.

01

One-time investment

Build it.

Pay WAFFTECH to design, build, test, and launch your automation. Your implementation package covers the professional work needed to turn your process into a working system.

What this covers
  • Workflow design and process mapping
  • Integrations and automation logic
  • Testing, documentation, and launch

Example: QuickStart starting at $1,500.

02

Ongoing operating costs

Run it.

Your automation needs technology to keep running. Depending on the solution, these costs may include subscriptions, hosting, service accounts, integrations, and AI usage.

What this may include
  • Automation platforms and workflow hosting
  • Dedicated business or service accounts
  • API access, AI credits, and usage fees

Example: Platform fees plus any applicable usage-based charges.

03

Optional monthly service

Maintain it.

Keep your automation reliable as your business and software change. WAFFTECH Care provides ongoing professional support beyond the included post-launch support period.

What this may include
  • Monitoring and troubleshooting
  • Minor workflow changes and optimization
  • Ongoing development and reviews

Example: WAFFTECH Care starting at $49/month.

The full cost of automation, explained.

Your implementation fee covers building the solution. Software subscriptions, hosting, and usage fees keep it running. WAFFTECH Care is available if you want ongoing support after launch.

Depending on the project, your automation may use tools such as n8n, Zapier, Workato, Google Workspace, or an AI provider. Each has its own pricing, account requirements, and usage limits.

No surprise software bills.

Before development begins, your proposal will outline expected third-party costs, who pays them, and any anticipated usage-based fees. We'll recommend an approach that fits your needs and budget.

Example project budget

What might an automation actually cost?

Here's an example of how the costs could break down for an automated Google review response workflow.

Hosting and automation platform

The service used to execute and host the workflow.

Varies

Service accounts and integrations

$49+/mo
Every project is different. This is an illustrative example, not a fixed quote or guaranteed monthly price. Actual costs depend on your systems, provider plans, account requirements, and usage. Your proposal will include an estimated monthly operating budget wherever costs can be reasonably estimated.
