How It Works
Every workflow is priced by the number of steps (nodes) it takes to build. A step is one action in your automation, like sending an email, checking a condition, updating a record, or calling an API. The more steps in a build, the lower your rate per step.
Your final price is calculated after the build is complete, not before. We give you an estimate up front based on the discovery call, but you only pay for the actual steps built.
Why We Measure During the Build
Automation isn't predictable the way physical construction is. A process that looks simple on paper might need 8 steps. One that sounds complex might only need 5. We don't guess, we build, log every step in real time, and you see the full breakdown before final payment.
Every step is documented in the Origin Build Log. You can see exactly what was built, why, and how it connects.
Deposits & Final Pricing
You pay a deposit up front based on the estimated step count. After the build is complete and you've reviewed the Origin Build Log, the final invoice reflects the actual step count. If we come in under estimate, you pay less. If it runs over, the total is capped at 2x the deposit.

Quick FAQ
What if the build is simpler than expected?
You pay for the actual steps, not the estimate. If it takes fewer steps, the price goes down.
What if it's more complex?
Your total is capped at 2x the deposit. That's the maximum you'll ever pay for a single build, no matter what.
Do I pay for maintenance separately?
Yes. Maintenance (Partnership) is a separate monthly agreement. It's optional but recommended for production systems.
Can I see what I'm paying for?
Every single step is logged in the Origin Build Log. You'll see the full breakdown before final payment.
