Typical starting points, not fake flat fees
Small Business Software, AI Automation & Chatbot Pricing Guide Australia
Pricing depends on scope, integrations, data, rollout complexity and support needs. This guide helps small businesses set realistic expectations before they ask for a quote.
How to use this guide
Treat these as planning ranges, not hard promises. The biggest pricing drivers are how messy the current workflow is, how many systems need to be connected, and how much rollout support the team needs after go-live.
- How clear the workflow is now
- How many tools need to connect
- Whether data needs cleaning or migration
- How much staff rollout support is needed
- Whether the work includes ongoing maintenance
Typical project starting points
Discovery or systems review
Best for clarifying the workflow, priorities and safest next step before bigger work starts.
Focused automation or chatbot project
Suitable for tightly scoped improvements like enquiry routing, FAQ chat or a single admin workflow.
Custom software or larger modernisation work
Typical for projects that involve building around the workflow, replacing manual steps or modernising an ageing system.
