We scope, build, and run your first custom tool. Built around your workflow.

One scoped tool, built in 1 to 3 weeks, run live in your business for 30 days against a specific outcome we agree on before we start. The pilot delivers a real, useful first brick of the larger tool pattern: the slice you will feel in 30 days. The $800 is your only upfront commitment. After the pilot, the engagement graduates onto Starter ($295/mo) and the tool grows from there.

A tool is one thing it does for your business. One focused capability, one measurable result.

A tool might be a custom calculator the team logs into, a portal element your customers see, an integration that connects two systems, a PDF generator, a dashboard, or a workflow that runs on a trigger. The shape does not matter; the boundary does. We tell you up front, in writing, exactly what each tool does before we build it. If what you are describing is actually two jobs, we say so during scoping.

The pilot is $800 flat, and your monthly tier covers everything in it: bug fixes, refinements, monitoring, hosting, and your KPI report. New scope outside your tier, a new tool or a new integration, is quoted and agreed before we build it, either as a fixed-fee project or hourly, whichever fits the work. Nothing gets billed that you did not agree to first.

The monthly changes only when you ask for more and both sides agree to move up a tier. No surprise invoices, no usage charges, no overage fees. If you stay where you are, your monthly stays where it is.

The tier table is a planning anchor, not a sales ladder. Most clients land at Starter or Growth and stay there for years. We are not running a quota that pushes you up tiers. If your operation outgrows your tier in real usage, we will tell you and have an upgrade conversation; if it does not, you stay where you are.

Bug fixes, small refinements, monitoring, hosting, security patches, and a monthly KPI report on each active tool are all included in the monthly. If you ask for a genuinely new capability (a new project type, an additional sync source, a brand-new workflow), we tell you openly that it is a new tool, scope it, and add it on the monthly when you agree.

Hosting, monitoring, security patching, bug fixes, small refinements, and a monthly KPI report on each active tool are all included in the monthly fee. We run your tools on the ByteQuix Platform. Your team uses them. We keep them working as your business evolves.

After the 6-month minimum on a paid tier, yes, with 30 days written notice. We hand off your operational records and what we can of the tool configuration. The tool itself runs on the ByteQuix Platform, so it stops at month-end. The pilot phase commits to only the $800 fee.

That is what the Custom tier is for. We scope an engagement that fits your team size, tool count, and integration complexity. Typical Custom-tier clients are 30 to 50 employee operations running 8 plus tools across multiple business units.

A dev shop typically charges $5,000 to $50,000 per project, takes 4 to 6 months, and walks away when the build is done. Maintenance is a separate retainer or per-incident bill. ByteQuix builds and runs. The same monthly fee covers hosting, monitoring, maintenance, and small changes to each running tool. The relationship is continuous, not transactional.

DIY platforms make you build and maintain the automation yourself. They are great for simple, well-defined workflows that match the platform's assumptions. They break down when the work is custom to your business or needs more than 3 to 4 connected steps. ByteQuix builds the tool, runs it, and maintains it. You use it.

No. Monthly tiers have a 6-month minimum commitment after the pilot. After the minimum, the engagement continues month-to-month with 30 days written notice to cancel.
