Pricing · fixed price, NZ dollars, excl. GST
Plain numbers for automation, AI assistants, document intelligence, custom apps, websites and fractional CTO work. Discovery is free, the price is fixed before anything is built, and every figure here is in New Zealand dollars.
These are the ranges most jobs land in. The bottom of each range is a real project I have shipped, not a teaser. The top is where a job stops being one job and becomes a programme of work, which I would quote in stages.
| What | Typical price | Typical time | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automation across the tools you already run | NZ$500 to $5,000 | Under a week to 4 weeks | Supplier invoices read and coded into Xero; enquiries triaged and drafted; overdue payments chased automatically |
| Document and email intelligence | NZ$1,000 to $8,000 | 2 to 5 weeks | Licence applications read, checked and filed; contracts summarised; inbox sorted and answered in your voice |
| AI assistants, agents and a company brain | NZ$3,000 to $12,000 | 3 to 6 weeks | A customer assistant on your site that books calls; an internal assistant that answers from your own documents |
| Custom apps and client portals | NZ$4,000 to $15,000 | 6 to 12 weeks | A quoting tool, a scheduler, a portal with logins, payments and reporting |
| Websites, built for people and for AI search | NZ$1,000 to $6,000 | 2 to 4 weeks | A fast marketing site with booking, chat and the structure Google and ChatGPT can read. See LLM-optimised websites |
| Fractional CTO | Monthly retainer, scoped to you | A few hours a week | Roadmap, vendor decisions, security, hiring, and an honest read on where AI will and will not pay off |
| Small jobs, fixes and advice | $100 an hour | As needed | A change to an existing automation, a second opinion on a quote, an hour of help |
| Hosting, monitoring and support | From $99 a month | Ongoing | Your systems kept running, watched, and fixed the same day during NZ business hours |
Two reasons. The first is that I am one senior engineer with twelve years in AI and automation, not an agency with account managers, project managers and juniors between you and the person doing the work. The second is that the models and cloud services that made this expensive three years ago now cost a few dollars a month to run at small-business scale.
The same is true of what it returns. The ROI calculator will give you a rough number for your own process in about a minute, and the case studies show what four New Zealand businesses actually got back.
Because the same words describe very different jobs. An invoice automation that reads one supplier's PDF into Xero is a few days of work; one that handles forty suppliers, matches purchase orders and routes approvals is a few weeks. The range tells you the neighbourhood, the free discovery call tells you the number, and the number is fixed before anything is built.
Yes. Thirty minutes, no obligation, and the written recommendation is yours whether or not you go ahead. If automation is not the right answer for your problem, I say so and there is no invoice.
That is my problem, not yours. The price is fixed against the agreed scope. If you change the scope, the change is written down with its effect on cost and timing before it is built.
Hosting, monitoring and support run on a monthly plan from $99, sized to what you are running. AI model usage is usually a few dollars to a few tens of dollars a month for a small business and is billed at cost. There is no lock-in: the code and the cloud account are yours.
