§ 05 / Vs. the giants
05/06

Not Salesforce. Not HubSpot. Not NetSuite.

Those are products. We're a team. Salesforce gives you a CRM that your business has to adapt to. We build a CRM that adapts to your business. HubSpot gives you marketing tools designed for SaaS companies. We build outreach systems designed for industrial sales. NetSuite gives you an ERP that takes 6–12 months to implement. We deploy operational tools in weeks.

The fundamental difference: off-the-shelf software forces your workflows into their system. We build tools that fit your workflows exactly. And when your workflows change, we change the tools — because we're still there.

§ 06 / Common questions
06/06

Common questions about pricing.

  • Q · 01

    Is $10k/mo the only option?

    The retainer is designed for companies that need ongoing, embedded technology support. We scope every engagement based on your needs — if you're a smaller company or want to start with a narrower focus, we'll find a structure that works. Book a discovery call and we'll give you a straight answer.

  • Q · 02

    What if I only need one thing built?

    The retainer model is how we work best — because the real value comes from staying embedded and continuously improving your operations. That said, if you have a specific, well-defined project, we can discuss a scoped engagement. Most companies that start with one project end up staying on retainer because they keep finding more things they need.

  • Q · 03

    What's the minimum commitment?

    We ask for a 3-month minimum to give us time to embed, understand your operations, and deliver meaningful results. After that, it's month-to-month. If we're not delivering value, you shouldn't be paying us.

  • Q · 04

    Are there any additional costs?

    No. The retainer covers everything — all products, all custom builds, all requests, all training, all on-site visits. There are no per-project fees, no per-seat charges, no change orders, and no surprise invoices.

  • Q · 05

    What happens if we part ways?

    You keep everything. The tools, the data, the code — it all runs on your infrastructure and belongs to you. There's no lock-in, no proprietary platforms, and nothing we hold hostage.

  • Q · 06

    How does this compare to hiring a developer?

    A full-time developer costs $80K–$150K+ in salary, benefits, and overhead — and they can only do one thing at a time. CIRQL gives you an entire team (engineering, design, strategy, process mining) for less than that cost, with no overhead, no benefits, no onboarding, and no management burden.

§ No lock-in

You own everything we build.

Every tool runs on your infrastructure and belongs to you — the code, the data, and the workflows. If we ever part ways, you keep it all. No lock-in, no proprietary platforms, no hostage situations.

§ Get started

Let's talk about what you need.

We'll spend 30 minutes learning about your operations and show you exactly what we'd build in the first month — and what it would cost.
