What Does Automation Actually Cost? A Transparent Price Overview

"Price on request" is standard at many B2B software vendors. That's understandably frustrating when you just want a rough sense of scale before investing time in a sales call.

What's usually included in the cost

• The actual software subscription (monthly)
• Unlimited requests/usage within the tool you've booked
• Dashboard, analytics, and support
• For custom solutions: design, development, and ongoing operation

What transparent pricing looks like

At 147codez, prices for websites, web apps and custom automation are published openly on the website. You see the order of magnitude before the first conversation, not after it.

Watch out for hidden costs

• Is there a separate setup fee on top of the monthly price?
• Are support requests included, or billed separately?
• What's the minimum term, and how easy is it to cancel afterward?
• Is there a usage limit that costs extra once exceeded?

The math that actually matters

The relevant comparison isn't the monthly price alone, but the time saved multiplied by your own hourly rate, minus the tool cost. With several hours saved per week, automation usually pays for itself within the first month.
