Pricing
You pay once to design and build your system, and a predictable monthly fee for hosting and care.
For Microsoft 365, you can add Power Automate workflows with clear per-workflow and per-user pricing. If you're not sure where you fit, we'll walk you through it and recommend the right option.
One-Time Project Fees – Design and Build
These are typical ranges. Your exact quote will depend on your workflows, integrations, and complexity.
Micro Starter App
For entrepreneurship and startup businesses that need a simple portal or workflow. Simple client or patient portal, basic job or ticket tracker, one or two key workflows.
Core Business App
For small businesses that need one or two core processes automated in a more robust way. Client or patient portal with multiple forms, job tracking with reporting, basic integrations with existing tools.
Business App Plus
For medium businesses that need several workflows, dashboards, and integrations in one system. Multi-module internal system, several user roles and permission levels, multiple integrations and custom dashboards.
Enterprise / Multi-Module
For enterprise or very complex multi-site systems, we provide a custom quote.

We only recommend this when your system truly needs it. Most small businesses are well-served by our shared hosting plans.

Power Automate and Microsoft 365 Automation
If you use Microsoft 365, we can automate everyday tasks with Power Automate workflows.
There are two parts to the pricing: a base cost to build each workflow, and a per-user setup cost.
Simple Workflow
A small automation with a couple of steps.
Standard Workflow
More steps, simple approvals, and conditions.
Advanced Workflow or Module
Multiple systems, complex rules, and detailed logging.
Per-User Setup
For each person who needs to use the workflow, we set up their access and test it with them.
For small teams, we often include a few users in the base build price and only charge per-user for additional staff.
Workflow Bundles
If you want to automate several processes at once, we offer bundles:
Starter Automation Pack
Up to 3 workflows
Business Automation Pack
Up to 6 workflows
Operations Automation Pack
Up to 10 workflows
