Pricing · Australia · all prices ex GST
Three tiers for SMEs: a pilot automation, a feature a month, or an engineering team of your own. The same team on every tier, in person in Sydney, and a plan you can change when the business does.
Three tiers
Every tier is the same team, and it is business consultants first: we start with how your business runs, then build. What changes is how much gets built each month.
A pilot · 5 hours of reserved engineering a month
$1,750 per month, ex GST
For a business that wants one small automation built and running before it commits to anything bigger. We look at how the business runs before we pick which one.
20 hours of reserved engineering a month
$6,000 per month, ex GST
For a business with a list of things to automate and the patience to do them properly: one feature a month, built, tested and live before the next one starts. The order comes from what the business needs, not from what is easiest to build.
100 hours of reserved engineering a month · limited seats
$20,000 per month, ex GST
For a business that would otherwise hire a developer. Same money, no leave, more than one set of skills, and a team that thinks about the business before it thinks about code.
Every tier
We are in Sydney. Meet at our office at the marina in Mosman, or at yours.
A shared Slack channel with the engineer building your system and the directors. Questions are answered by the people doing the work, not a ticket queue.
The plan is set with you each month and changes when the business does. If a busy sales season is coming, the month goes to the quoting tool, not the backlog.
We start with how the business runs and where it loses time, then decide what to build. Sometimes the answer is a tool you already pay for.

100 hours vs one hire
A senior developer in Sydney is $160k to $180k base. Add superannuation, leave, insurance and equipment and the all-in cost sits at 1.25 to 1.4 times base: $17,700 to $19,800 a month, before a recruiter has been paid to find them.
| Senior developer base, Sydney | $160k to $180k |
|---|---|
| Superannuation guarantee | 12% |
| All-in cost, 1.25 to 1.4 times base | $212k to $238k a year |
| Per month | $17,700 to $19,800 |
| 100 hours a month with Kursol | $20,000 |
Tech recruiters charge 17 to 22 per cent of the package: $32k to $42k to find one person, and again when they leave.
Delivery starts the first week.
A full-timer is paid for 1,976 hours a year and available for about 1,664 of them. Your 100 hours land every month.
Frontend, backend, integrations and AI without hiring four people. A solo hire knows what they knew on day one, and takes it with them when they go.
You pay for outcomes, not for the weeks a single developer spends learning a new stack.
The knowledge of your systems sits with a team and in writing, not in one head.
Beyond the tiers
The tiers are built for small and mid-sized businesses. A build from scratch, a larger company, or more than 100 hours a month gets its own quote.
Questions
They lapse at the end of the month. You are paying for reserved capacity and a response time, not for a bank of hours. If you keep finishing months with time to spare, drop a tier; the 5-hour tier cancels any time.
Add another block of the same tier for that month, or move up a tier from the next month. Either way you know the price before the work starts.
Yes. The plan is agreed each month. If a sales trip or a busy season moves the priority, the month moves with it. Tell us before the month starts so the work fits the hours.
The engineers on our engineering page: Sydney, Austin and Los Angeles, one team. Every tier gets a senior engineer on your work; the 100-hour tier gets several.
Every three months on the 20 and 100-hour tiers we go through what shipped, what it replaced and what it changed, measured in your own numbers: hours, invoices, jobs. It sets what the next quarter goes to.
Engineering time spent on your systems: building, fixing, integrating, testing and the planning call. It is tracked and reported each month. Time waiting on us, or on a third party, is not charged.
No lock-in. The 5-hour tier is month to month and cancels any time. The 20-hour tier rolls monthly with 30 days notice, the 100-hour tier with 90.
No. All prices are per month and exclude GST.
Yes. Anything outside the tiers, from a build from scratch to a larger company, gets a clear scope and a fixed price before work begins. The tiers are for a pilot, then one feature at a time, and keeping what is live running.
Up or down, from the start of the next month. Tell us before the month ends.
A first call is 30 minutes and costs nothing. You describe where the work gets stuck; we tell you which tier fits, or whether it needs its own quote.
