Pricing
Solutions that scale with you
Transparent pricing, no surprises. From one-off automations to ongoing partnerships — choose what fits your business.
All prices in AUD, excluding GST
How We Charge
You pay for what it does — not how long it took.
We use a three-layer model that eliminates hourly billing — designed so you benefit as AI costs come down.
Build Fee
One-time, value-based
Fixed price based on the VALUE of the outcome — not hours spent.
From $2,000
Running Costs
Monthly, transparent
Actual infrastructure costs. Your accounts or ours. As AI costs fall, your running costs can too.
Typical $1–120/mo
Growth Partnership
Monthly, optional
Ongoing optimisation, new features, AI model upgrades, and strategic guidance.
Scoped per engagement
Your systems need hosting, a database, and sometimes AI API calls. You choose who manages it:
Option A: You Manage
Self-hosted
Accounts live in YOUR name. You control billing directly.
Varies by project
- ✓ Full ownership
- ✓ Direct cost control
- ✓ Costs can decrease as AI improves
Best for: Businesses with in-house IT or tech-savvy owners
Option B: We Manage
Managed by LJ Scaffold
We handle setup, billing, monitoring & maintenance.
Infrastructure costs + management bundled into a monthly partnership fee, scoped to your needs.
- ✓ Minimal admin overhead
- ✓ We actively optimise costs on your behalf
- ✓ Priority support & monitoring included
Best for: Businesses that want hands-off AI operations
Either way — your code, data, and documentation remain yours. Option B is convenience, not lock-in.

AI Costs Are Falling Fast
