Short answer

Simple automation can start around 500 PLN, mid-sized work often costs a few thousand, and complex projects need custom pricing.

How to approach it

Start with a process that repeats often, has a clear output and carries a measurable manual cost.

  • write down input and output
  • mark decisions and exceptions
  • assess sensitive data
  • decide who maintains the flow after launch

What to do next

If the process is repeatable and rule-based, prepare a small test scope instead of designing a large system immediately.

Short answers that help make a decision

What drives automation cost?

Cost grows with exceptions, integrations, data types and security requirements. The number of tools matters less than business logic.

  • data sources
  • error handling
  • edge-case tests
  • access and audit needs

Why can simple automation cost less?

If the process has one input, clear output and 1-2 integrations, a small scope can be built without heavy architecture and long workshops.

When is custom pricing required?

When AI agents, MS365, permissions, knowledge bases, multiple user roles or API integrations are involved, the scope must be mapped technically first.
