What we build.

Every engagement has two parts: a one-time build fee and a monthly retainer. The build fee covers the initial design, development, and testing of your automations. The retainer covers everything after that. Monitoring, maintenance, updates, and support. Build fees are quoted during your discovery call based on what you need.

Your retainer covers everything that keeps your automations running smoothly. That includes automated monitoring, bug fixes, updates when your tools change their APIs, and ongoing support. If something needs tweaking or breaks, we handle it. No surprise bills, no hourly charges.

The build fee is a one-time cost for designing and building your automations from scratch. The retainer is your monthly cost for keeping them running, monitored, and maintained. Think of the build fee as construction and the retainer as property management.

You do. Always. All automations are built in n8n, and you provide the API keys and access to your tools. Nodal never holds your credentials. If we ever part ways, you keep everything. Your data, your credentials, your workflows.

It depends on what we automate, but most clients see the retainer pay for itself within the first month. If a manual process costs your team 10-20 hours a week and we cut that to zero, the math is straightforward. We'll talk through the specific numbers for your situation on the discovery call.

A full-time AI Automation Engineer costs $100,000 to $140,000 per year in salary alone. That's before benefits, onboarding, ramp-up time, and management overhead. Nodal starts at $750 per month. You get the same output without the full-time headcount, the work starts within days instead of months, and you're not locked into a long-term hire.

Most automations are built and live within 1-2 weeks. Complex, multi-system builds might take 3-4 weeks. We move fast because we use AI-assisted development. Not to cut corners, but to eliminate the busywork that slows traditional agencies down.

We fix it. That's what the retainer is for. Your automations are automatically monitored for errors, and if something breaks, we handle it. Whether it's a code issue, an API change, or a tool update. No extra charges, no support tickets to file.

Yes. We don't lock you into long-term contracts. We ask for 30 days notice so we can wrap things up cleanly, but you're free to cancel anytime. We'd rather keep clients because the work speaks for itself, not because of a contract.

Not at all. You don't need to know what an API is or how a webhook works. You just need to know what's eating up your team's time. You tell us what's broken, and we build the solution.

All automations are built in n8n, which connects to most major business tools. CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce, Google Workspace, Slack, email platforms, databases, and more. If your tools have an API (most do), n8n can connect to them. You provide the access, and we build the workflows. We'll confirm compatibility on your discovery call.

That's exactly what the discovery call is for. You tell us where your team is spending time on repetitive tasks, and we identify which ones are the best candidates for automation. No prep needed on your end. Just come ready to talk about how your business runs day to day.
