What the work costs, in public.
Every engagement below is priced on this page. No call is required to read a number, and nothing here is quoted differently depending on who is asking.
Custom engagements start with a paid plan.
The $4,500 Blueprint is the planning step for our custom engineering engagements. You review the scope before choosing a build or retainer. Concierge and the free Crimson preview have separate starting points below.
The Blueprint
10 business days from commission to a written plan. Credited in full against your first month if you proceed, and yours to keep if you do not.
Monthly engineering plans.
Month to month, every rung. Walk away whenever you like and the code and the data remain entirely yours.
Your first one to three autonomous workflows, live within two weeks.
Up to eight systems in operation, with a new one commissioned every month.
Everything in The Engine, and more of the senior bench alongside your team.
An operation run as its own engineering division, on your infrastructure.
Concierge, priced separately.
The operations concierge is a product, not an engagement. It is bought on its own and runs from your existing chat.
Founder-led
One storefront, one channel, a daily pulse.
Scaling brand
Up to three storefronts, every channel, proactive insight.
Multi-brand / agency
Unlimited storefronts, white-labelled, with an SLA.
Crimson, built to a fixed scope.
Crimson creates a free sample plan for a customer database. A working CRM is a separate paid build. The starting prices below cover one system; we agree the final scope and quote before work starts. For other custom software, explore Oyster.
CRM Tune-Up
One week. Fixes and automations on the CRM you already run. 30-day support.
CRM Starter Kit
Two weeks. A deployed CRM with your core objects and first pipeline. 30-day support.
Integrate Existing
Two to three weeks. Audit, automation layer and integrations on your current CRM. 90-day support.
Build It For You
Three to four weeks. The whole CRM as designed, on your infrastructure. Source code, training, 90-day support.
After deployment, an optional managed service from $2,500 a month monitors the automations, tunes them and covers adjustments. It is scoped to the system Crimson built, which is why it sits below The Spark: that is a retainer across your whole operation, this one watches a single CRM.
The terms, stated once.
Month to month
No minimum term on any rung. Cancel at the end of a period and keep everything built.
You own the work
Code, data, credentials and documentation are yours throughout, not on exit.
Senior hands only
The engineer who would build the system is the one who writes the plan. There are no junior hand-offs.
Billed on a fixed day
The first payment is taken on the day you start; every renewal falls on the same date each month, never prorated.
Looking for design, brand or paid media?
