Typical project bands
Coaching or a single workflow fix often starts from a few hundred dollars per session. Scoped SMB builds on Make, Zapier, or n8n commonly land between roughly A$1,200 and A$8,000 for one process with testing and handover.
Larger n8n or enterprise-style engagements from UK or EU partners may start higher when discovery, security review, and documentation are included upfront.
What changes the quote
Integrations matter: connecting a standard CRM is faster than a custom database. Data quality matters: messy historical records need cleanup before automation is trustworthy.
Governance matters: approvals, logging, and on-call monitoring add build time but reduce operational risk. Training matters when staff must run the workflow weekly.
FAQ
- Should I pay hourly or fixed fee?
- Hourly suits exploration or small fixes. Fixed fees suit a defined workflow with agreed deliverables. Ask how change requests are handled before you sign.
