Pricing, in the open

What Scalyd costs, and exactly what you get.

Three ways to work with us: a free Automation Map, a fixed-price Workflow Sprint, or a monthly Automation Partner retainer. Every price on this page is the real starting price — no "contact us for pricing", no discovery-call gatekeeping.

Talk about a retainer

Quotes are fixed after the Blueprint — never hourly guesswork. Billing in USD, EUR or DZD on request. Platform subscription costs (n8n, Make, API usage…) are passed through at cost, never marked up.

How a quote is built

The price is fixed before the build, not after.

Map

You tell us the workflow. We return the three worth automating first, with the effort each one takes.

Deliverable: 1-page Automation Map

Week 1

Blueprint

We document triggers, edge cases, data access and success metrics, then quote one fixed number for the first workflow.

Deliverable: build spec + fixed price

Weeks 2–5

Build

The quoted price stands. If the scope genuinely changes, you approve a written change order before anything is built.

Deliverable: live workflow + runbook

Monthly · optional

Operate

Monitoring, fixes and one new automation per month. Cancel whenever you like — the systems keep running because they're yours.

Deliverable: monthly report
Included in every build

No line items you have to beg for later.

  • Discovery of the process as it actually runs today, not as the org chart says
  • Error handling, retries and alerting wired in from day one
  • Testing against your real data in a staging environment
  • A plain-language runbook and a handover video for your team
  • Full ownership: the accounts, workflows and scripts are yours

Costs that never appear on our invoice as a margin: platform subscriptions, API usage and third-party licences. You pay those providers directly, at cost.

Pricing questions

Answered before you have to ask.

Why is the Automation Map free?

Because it is the cheapest way for both of us to find out whether we are a fit. It costs us a few hours and saves you a discovery call. If it finds nothing worth building, we say so and we do not pitch a project.

What makes the price move above $2,500?

Three things: the number of systems the workflow must touch, whether legacy software needs an API built for it, and how much human approval logic you want in the loop. Those are measured in the Blueprint, before you commit.

Is there a minimum contract?

No. The Workflow Sprint is a one-off fixed fee, and the Partner retainer is month-to-month. You can cancel any month and keep everything we built.

Do you charge for the tools and subscriptions?

Only at cost. If a workflow needs an n8n plan, a Make subscription or API credits, you pay the provider directly and we never add a margin on top.

Can you work with our IT and security requirements?

Yes. NDA before any access, least-privilege credentials, region-aware processing, and a written rule that your data is never used to train models. We can build inside your cloud or on-premise constraints.

Start with the free Map. Decide after you see the numbers.
