Pricing

A whole business system. A realistic price.

Full-suite systems start from C$2,495, plus fair monthly hosting and care, and are usually built in phases so you only pay for what the business needs now. Every project is a fixed quote, and the build can be spread over monthly payments.

No per-seat pricing, no lock-in and no sales pressure. If the honest answer is a C$795 website, or nothing at all, that's the answer you'll get.

Pay monthly.

Payment terms for small businesses: spread the build over monthly instalments, agreed up front in your proposal. No finance company, no interest, and the hosting runs on the same simple monthly bill.

Ask about terms

Something bigger?

Multi-location systems, staff apps, subscription platforms, complex integrations and white-label products. Scoped individually, and usually built in phases rather than as one enormous project.

Three ways to run a business

Only one of them pays you back.

Most small businesses end up on spreadsheets or on software built for a company ten times their size. Here's what each really costs over three years, once you count the hours it eats. Move the sliders to your own business.

Cumulative cost, build and subscriptions plus the value of the hours still lost to admin.
How we worked this out+

Time lost. Your admin hours, times the value of an hour, over 36 months. We assume spreadsheets lose all of them, off-the-shelf software recovers about a third (the rest goes on double entry and finding your way around), and a system built around your process recovers nearly all of them (about seven eighths).

Off-the-shelf. C$90 per person per month for the CRM, plus C$248 a month of add-ons for booking, invoicing, a client portal and automation, and C$1,500 for setup and training. Typical retail prices, not any one vendor's.

whizzy. A C$3,495 build and C$129 a month for hosting and care, whatever the team size, and it includes your website. Spreadsheets and off-the-shelf software are charged C$75 a month for a separate website, hosting and upkeep (switch that off above if it doesn't apply). Your quote depends on what you need; systems start from C$2,495.

Not counted. Lost enquiries, forgotten invoices, mistakes and the cost of switching later. All of them make spreadsheets and big software look better than they are. The hour split is an estimate, so use the sliders, and we'll check it with you on a call.

Fair questions.

Why fixed prices?+

Because hourly billing punishes you for someone else's learning curve. We agree the scope and the number before anything starts; changes are quoted separately and approved first.

Can we build it in phases?+

That's the usual way. Start with the CRM and the part of the business causing the most friction, then add modules as each one pays for itself. Every phase is its own fixed quote.

Can we pay monthly?+

Yes. Small businesses can spread the build over monthly instalments, agreed up front in the proposal, alongside the monthly hosting and care. You know every amount and date before anything starts.

What if we want to leave?+

Take everything. The code, the database, the domain and the accounts are in your name, and the handover pack explains how it all works.

What does running it cost?+

Hosting, email and payment processing are charged at cost wherever practical, usually a few dollars a month. Care plans are optional and month to month.

Prices in Canadian dollars, before tax. Timing depends on scope and on how quickly decisions can be made together.
