Pricing

How our pricing works.

We do not publish a price list, because two jobs with the same name can be very different pieces of work. This page sets out how we price instead: what is free, what you get in writing before any work starts, what makes a build cost more or less, and what is included.

Book a free consult What drives the cost

The short answer

There is no standard price for AI automation in Singapore, and be wary of anyone who quotes one before seeing your work. A project has two kinds of cost:

  • A one-off build. Mapping the workflow, building the custom app or AI agent, testing it on your own work and training your team. We quote this as a fixed price for a written scope.
  • Running costs. The software subscriptions, AI usage and hosting the workflow runs on. You pay these to the providers directly, in your company's name.

The build price depends mostly on four things: how many workflows are in scope, how many systems it connects to, how many exceptions it handles and at what volume, and how much the app itself has to do. If an off-the-shelf product, or a no-code tool your team can run, will do the job, that is usually cheaper than any build, and we will tell you so in the consult.

How it works

From consult to handover

You know the scope and the price before any work starts.

1

Free consult

Bring one workflow and a real example. We map how it runs today, who does it and what must stay with a person, and tell you plainly whether it is worth automating. There is no commitment.

2

A fixed-scope written quote

If it is worth building, you get a written quote before any work starts: what will be built, what will not, which tools it connects to, the timeline and the price. Nothing is invoiced until you accept it.

3

Build, paid in three milestones

30% to start, 30% when the working build is ready, and 40% at handover. The new flow runs alongside your current one first, on your own work.

4

Train, hand over, then a 12-month warranty

We train the people who will run it and watch the first jobs before anything expands. Every build comes with a 12-month warranty on defects in what we built.

What drives the cost

These four things decide most of the price of a build. We go through each of them in the consult, so the quote reflects your actual work.

What we look atCosts less whenCosts more when
How many workflowsOne workflow, such as supplier invoices or variation ordersSeveral workflows, or a whole department at once
Systems it connects toIt works in one or two tools you already useIt connects several systems, or older software that other tools cannot connect to easily
Exceptions and volumeDocuments arrive in a few formats and the rules are clearDocuments arrive in many formats, the rules have many exceptions, or the volume is high enough that every odd case turns up
How much the app doesA few screens: one queue, one review step and the records behind themMany screens, user roles, review queues or reports

Volume also drives running costs. Most automation platforms and AI services charge by use: Zapier by tasks, Make by credits and n8n Cloud by workflow executions. Power Automate is licensed per user or by capacity, and Microsoft 365 plans include its standard connectors only. Prices change often, so we link the providers' own pages rather than quote them, and we talk through the running costs at your volume before you accept a quote.

What is included

  • The free consult and a written scope before any work.
  • The build and testing on your own work, with the new flow running alongside your current one first.
  • Human approval, designed in. A named person in your firm approves payments, hiring decisions and customer commitments. This is part of every build, not an extra.
  • Training and handover for the people who will run it.
  • A 12-month warranty on defects in what we built. If it does not do what the written scope says, we fix it at no charge.
  • Milestone payments: 30% to start, 30% when the working build is ready, and 40% at handover.
  • Your own accounts. You pay for your own software subscriptions and hosting directly, at cost, so nothing is marked up, and the accounts stay in your company's name.
  • Optional monthly support, if you want us to keep watching the workflow and adjust it when a connected app or a process changes. It is quoted separately.

What we will not do

  • Bill open-ended hours. The price in the quote is the price for that scope.
  • Change the price without asking. If you want something added, we quote the change in writing first, and you decide.
  • Mark up your software. Subscriptions and hosting are billed to you by the providers.
  • Promise savings or returns before we have seen your workflow.
  • Quote a price that only works if a grant is approved.

Funding

A project should make sense at full price. Funding can help, but it should never be the reason to buy.

Enterprise Singapore's EDGE grant launched on 30 September 2026 and covers several business areas, including automation and digitalisation. A few facts from Enterprise Singapore's EDGE FAQ:

  • It supports Singapore-registered businesses that are at least 30% owned by Singaporeans or permanent residents, and each application is assessed on its own merits.
  • Retrospective applications are not supported. If work has started or any payment or deposit has been made before you apply, the project does not qualify. If you plan to apply, tell us before you accept a quote, so the first milestone payment does not rule the project out.
  • It is paid as a reimbursement after the project is completed and paid for, so you pay the vendor first.
  • For some activities you must choose a pre-approved vendor.

Funding pathways such as EDGE may be assessed case by case, subject to eligibility and approval. Lynqra works with advisory partners on funding and never promises a grant. Our EDGE grant guide covers the support levels and caps.

FAQ

Questions about cost

How much does AI automation cost in Singapore?

There is no standard price. A custom build is quoted for its scope, and the cost depends mostly on how many workflows are in scope, how many systems it connects to, how many exceptions it handles and at what volume, and whether it needs an app of its own. On top of the build are running costs: platform subscriptions, AI usage and hosting, billed by the providers. At Lynqra the consult is free, and you get a fixed-scope written quote before any work starts.

How much does workflow automation cost for an SME?

For one workflow, you pay for the build once, then a monthly bill for the hosting, software and AI usage it runs on, which grows with volume. The build costs more as you add workflows, systems, exceptions, screens or reports. If someone on your team can build and maintain the workflow on a no-code platform, that may cost less than hiring anyone, and we will tell you so.

Why don't you publish a price list?

Two invoice workflows can be very different jobs, depending on the formats, exceptions and systems involved. A fixed quote for your actual scope is more useful than a range that fits nobody.

Do you charge by the hour?

No. Builds are quoted as a fixed price for a written scope. If you ask for a change, we quote it in writing before we do it.

What happens in the free consult?

We look at one workflow with you, ideally with a real example, map how it runs today and agree what is worth automating and what must stay with a person. There is no commitment, and if a tool you can buy today already does the job, we will say so.

How do payments work?

In three milestones: 30% to start, 30% when the working build is ready, and 40% at handover. You pay for your software subscriptions and hosting directly, to the providers.

What does the warranty cover?

Every build comes with a 12-month warranty on defects in what we built. If it does not do what the written scope says, we fix it at no charge. New features and changes in scope are quoted separately.

Do we need monthly support?

No. Support is optional and quoted separately. It suits firms that want us to keep watching the workflow and adjust it when a connected app or a process changes.

Can we use the EDGE grant?

Possibly. Funding pathways such as EDGE may be assessed case by case, subject to eligibility and approval. We never promise a grant. If you plan to apply, apply before any work starts or any payment is made, because Enterprise Singapore does not support retrospective applications.

Want a fixed quote for one workflow?

Bring one workflow and a real example. You get a plain answer on whether it is worth automating, and a written quote if it is. There is no commitment.
