Maintenance Retainer FAQs

The Maintenance Retainer starts at a flat fee of $500 per month which will cover existing system support including standard maintenance, existing automation monitoring, and email support with a max 48-hour response time.

Any additions to the existing system design (building new data fields, tables, interfaces, bases, automations, or integrations) will be charged by the hour and invoiced monthly in arrears.
