Ranges reflect real project scope — a single integration vs. a multi-system build. Your exact number comes from the free audit, not this table.

Most projects don't end at launch. Once the first system's live, we typically propose an ongoing retainer to monitor, refine, and extend it — scoped separately in your proposal, not bundled into the build price above.

What's Included

  • Free discovery call + free operational audit
  • Build, integration, and testing
  • Handover documentation — no black boxes
  • A defined support window immediately post-launch
  • An ongoing retainer option, scoped to your system once it’s live
  • Direct access to the person who built it — no account managers

Free call, free audit, then your price.

FAQs

How much does business automation cost in the UK?

Most UK automation projects we run land between £600 and £3,200, depending on complexity — see the table above for typical ranges by service. Figures are exclusive of VAT, and your exact number comes from a free audit, not a price list.

Why is there a price range instead of a fixed quote?

A single integration and a multi-system build sit at very different ends of the same service. The free audit tells us which one you actually need — that’s where your real number comes from.

How much does a WhatsApp AI chatbot cost?

WhatsApp AI chatbot builds typically range from £900 for a single-flow bot to £3,000+ for a full conversational AI agent with CRM and HR integrations. WhatsApp’s own messaging fees are billed separately by Meta, not by us.

How much does HR and onboarding automation cost?

HR and onboarding automation projects typically range from £1,000 to £2,800, depending on how many systems (BreatheHR, Xero Payroll, document workflows) need to connect together.

How long does an automation project take to build?

Most builds land between 1 and 4 weeks from kickoff, depending on scope confirmed at the audit stage.

What’s not included in the price?

Third-party platform costs (e.g. WhatsApp’s own messaging fees, CRM licence costs) are billed separately by those providers, not by us.

What if my requirements grow mid-project?

We’ll flag it and re-scope before doing extra work — no surprise invoices.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes — most engagements move into an ongoing retainer once the build is live, covering monitoring, refinements, and new automations as your business grows. This is scoped and quoted separately, based on what the system needs in production.
