Why Foundry24 Charges Monthly, Build Included

Robbie September 9, 2026 pricing · small business · automation · websites

Most small-business software is sold as a project. A quote, a deposit, a few weeks of work, a final invoice. Then the contractor moves on.

Foundry24 charges monthly instead, with the build included and nothing up front. Here’s why.

Software doesn’t stay finished

Software that depends on other services eventually breaks, even if nobody touches it. Your booking tool renames a field, or a payment provider changes its API, and something that ran fine for months stops without telling anyone.

Your business changes too. You add a service, change your hours, or hire someone who needs access. With a one-time project, each of those means tracking down the contractor and getting a new quote, so most of them never happen.

That’s what the monthly fee pays for. Foundry24 hosts the software, keeps an eye on it, and fixes it when something it depends on changes. When you need a change, you send an email and it gets made.

Why the build is included

It makes starting cheap. You can try an automation at $199 a month and cancel if it doesn’t pay for itself.

It also means Foundry24 only gets paid while the thing keeps working. Building something fragile and walking away doesn’t pay.

The prices

  • Automation for one task: from $199 a month.
  • An AI agent for the phone, website chat, inbox, quote follow-ups, or customer intake: from $349 a month.
  • An internal tool: from $499 a month.
  • A website: $299, $599, or $999 a month.

The price on your spec stays the same unless you ask for more.

What you keep

Your domain, content, data, and Stripe account are yours, always. The website is yours after 12 months, and Foundry24 moves it wherever you want for a flat transfer fee. Before then, leaving with the site means paying out the first year. Automations run while you’re subscribed. The code stays with Foundry24, and your data goes with you.

An example

Dala Health, a clinic in Westminster, is on the $599 plan. Foundry24 built the site and runs it, along with the email, the Google listing, and the monthly post. The clinic never paid for a build. The site stays current because that’s the job.

Getting started

It starts with a 30-minute call about where your time goes. Then a one-page spec with the monthly price on it. If it isn’t worth doing yet, you’ll hear that too.

Questions

Is there a setup fee or a deposit?

No. Nothing up front, no contract, and you can cancel anytime.

What does the monthly fee cover?

The build, hosting, monitoring, backups, changes, and email support. Website plans also include a domain, SSL, email at your domain, and an analytics dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

Your domain, content, data, and Stripe account are yours. The website is yours after 12 months on the plan. An automation stops when the subscription does, and the code behind it stays with Foundry24.
