A worked example from our cost guide

In the worked example in our Google Sheets automation cost guide, a $12,000 custom engine that saves 8 hours a week at $45 an hour pays for itself in roughly 7.7 months. That is an example from the guide, not a promise for your project — your payback depends on your own numbers.

Typical timelines

From our FAQ: a basic website typically takes 2–4 weeks, while custom applications or integrations may take 4–12 weeks. Your scoped quote includes a timeline for your project.
