Pricing · Skiply-hosted
We run it. You run your business.
Lower upfront, one monthly retainer, nothing for you to maintain — the closest thing to hiring someone who never sleeps and never resigns.
Who it suits
- • You want the problem handled — not a new system to own.
- • There's no IT person in the business, and that's exactly how you like it.
- • A predictable monthly cost sits better than a big upfront hit.
How it works
Skiply designs and builds the solution, then hosts it on managed infrastructure, monitors it around the clock, maintains it as the platforms underneath it change, and keeps improving it as your business does. You get the outcomes — booked jobs, answered calls, qualified leads — without ever touching the machinery.
The honest trade
- You get
- Lower upfront cost · zero maintenance burden · continuous improvement baked in · one throat to choke when anything needs attention.
- You accept
- An ongoing monthly retainer, and the solution runs on Skiply-managed infrastructure rather than your own.
In the retainer
Hosting and infrastructure · 24/7 monitoring · maintenance and security updates · AI usage within agreed volume · ongoing tuning and improvement · support direct from the people who built it.
Common questions
What exactly does the retainer cover?
Everything it takes to keep the solution alive and getting better: hosting, monitoring, security updates, fixes, the AI usage costs within your agreed volume, and continuous improvement as your business changes. If something breaks at 2am, that's Skiply's problem — you find out it happened, not that you have to fix it.
Am I locked into a long contract?
No lock-in contracts. The retainer runs month to month after an initial minimum period agreed in your quote (typically three months, so the build has time to bed in and prove itself). If it isn't earning its keep, you shouldn't be paying for it.
What happens if I want to leave?
You keep what was built for you — the designs, flows, prompts and integrations are documented and handed over. Because it runs on Skiply-managed infrastructure, leaving means migrating to your own setup, and there's a straightforward handover process (and cost) for that, agreed upfront rather than discovered later.
Where does my data live?
On Australian-region infrastructure wherever the platforms allow it, and always documented so you know exactly what's stored where. Customer data is yours — Skiply hosts it, but never owns it, sells it or uses it for anything beyond running your solution.
Why would I choose this over self-hosted?
Honestly: because you don't want another system to babysit. Most small businesses pick Skiply-hosted because the whole point was taking work off their plate — adding server maintenance back onto it defeats the purpose. If you have real IT capability and want ownership, self-hosted is the better fit, and we'll tell you so.
