A flat fee to build the bridge. A monthly fee to keep it running.
Every legacy system is different, so we don't force it into a one-size menu. The three bands below are drawn from real past engagements — pick the one closest to your situation to see what's typically included and what a reconciled month looks like at that scale.

"connectors": 1, "runsPerDay": 1, "reconciled": true }
A typical night at the Starter scale — one connector, a few hundred rows, one run, fully reconciled.

Questions worth asking before you book a call
Why not just publish a fixed price?
Because a nightly CSV drop and a mainframe extract with three custom formats take genuinely different amounts of work — pricing them the same would either overcharge the simple case or underprice the hard one. The bands above are honest ranges from real engagements, not a marketing trick to hide a number.
What exactly does the monthly fee cover?
Hosting the pipeline, running it on schedule (or on demand), monitoring every run's reconciliation, alerting us the moment something fails, and keeping your read-only console available. It's the "keep it running and catch problems first" fee, not a support retainer you have to remember to use.
Is there a minimum contract length?
We ask for a modest initial minimum to cover the setup work honestly — we'll tell you the exact term on the call, and it scales with how much scoping the integration needs. No multi-year lock-in.
What happens if our data volume grows a lot?
The pipeline itself doesn't care — reconciliation and idempotency hold at any volume. If growth pushes you into a higher band (more connectors, more frequent runs), we'll flag it and requote transparently before anything changes, never a surprise invoice.
Can we move between tiers later?
Yes — most engagements start at Starter or Standard and grow into Complex as you connect more of the enterprise customer's systems. You only pay for the added setup work when you actually add a connector.
