Transparent pricing. No mystery.
No contact-us pricing theater. Discovery is free. The Pilot is fixed-scope, $2,500 to $4,000. Longer engagements have published ranges. Exact numbers are set on the call so each engagement matches your stack and goals.
We learn how your business operates, where the bottleneck is, and whether agents are the right fit. If they're not, we say so. You leave with a clear picture of what's possible: no follow-up sequence, no pressure.

The blog stops missing weeks. The outbound list stops sitting untouched. The support backlog clears. The half-built admin tool ships. Your “never got to it” list disappears, because the bottleneck stops being the doing and starts being the approving.
Output is gated by your review bandwidth, not the fleet's capacity. The numbers below are floors set by responsible-publishing pace: the fleet can produce more if you review more.
Build swaps in (or runs alongside) substantive product work: agents handling routine engineering on top of a feature plan you've scoped. Transfer compresses the same architecture into a 4-week setup that ends with you running the fleet yourself.
- 8 to 15 substantive blog posts published, plus daily distribution to LinkedIn / X / newsletter
- 60 to 120 personalized outbound drafts in your Gmail Drafts folder for review
- 100% of inbound leads triaged within 24 hours, qualified, and prioritized
- 100% of support tickets first-touched within 2 hours; drafted replies for 80%+, escalations with full context for the rest
- 6 to 12 frontend / backend PRs landed against your backlog
- 3 daily briefs per week from CMO + CTO; one weekly synthesis
- Deployment of the architecture into your infrastructure (your VM, your Anthropic account, your repo)
- Adaptation of agent prompts to your voice and ICP
- Setup of the reports endpoint and dashboard in your codebase
- Training documentation handed off to you
- Your Anthropic subscription (~$200 to 500/month in usage, paid to Anthropic directly)
- Your cloud VM (~$10/month, paid to your host directly)
- Supabase or equivalent database hosting (free tier works for most engagements)
- Any third-party tools you choose to integrate (Resend, Cal.com, Stripe, etc.)

A Pilot is a one-week fixed-scope build of a single agent in your repo for $2,500 to $4,000 (ten working days and the high end of the range for Custom builds). It exists for buyers who want to see what an Armada Works agent feels like in their codebase before committing to a longer engagement. The deliverable is a working agent, a runbook, and a one-page handoff doc. The Pilot fee credits 100% toward Operate, Build, or Transfer if you continue within 30 days of Pilot end.
What is the difference between Operate, Build, and Transfer?
Operate is a monthly retainer where we run a 4 to 6 agent fleet for you: SEO, content, outbound, and sales triage, with weekly founder reviews. Build is agent-assisted product and engineering work, scoped per project or on retainer. Transfer is a fixed-scope 2 to 4 week setup where we install and tune the agent architecture, train your team, and hand it off so you run it yourself. Pick based on whether you want output, product work, or self-sufficiency. Pilot is the entry point: most clients start there.
Do we own the agents and the code when the engagement ends?
Yes. Agents commit to your repo under your GitHub organization. Agent prompts, state files, and the reporting dashboard all live in code you own. When we leave, you keep running the system: or you can stop running it, delete it, or modify it. No SaaS lock-in, no proprietary platform, no subscription you have to maintain. If we are still here in twelve months, one of us has failed.
How long is a typical engagement?
Operate engagements are month-to-month with a two-month minimum and most clients stay 6 to 12 months. Build is scoped per project (typical 4 to 12 weeks) or month-to-month on retainer. Transfer is a fixed 2 to 4 weeks of setup plus optional month-to-month light-touch support. We do not sign annual contracts.
What if my needs span two tiers?
Common and fine. Most clients start with Operate and commission Build work as specific product problems surface. Or a client starts with Transfer (get the system installed) and upgrades to Operate once the fleet is running and they want us to stay on to tune it. We price the combined scope on the kickoff call.
Can I start with a smaller scope and grow?
Yes. The Pilot is designed for exactly that: one week, one agent, fixed price, and you decide afterward whether to continue. The Pilot fee credits 100% toward whichever longer engagement you pick (Operate, Build, or Transfer) if you continue within 30 days. We prefer short initial commitments because we would rather earn the next engagement than lock you in.
