Pricing
The Diagnostic is free to receive — you only pay if you decide to move forward. From there, investment is scoped to your actual stack, not quoted off a menu before the work is understood.
The engagement model
The Business OS Diagnostic is the entry point: a teardown, scorecard, AI fit review, SaaS replacement map, and a recommended next step. You pay nothing to receive it. You only owe a small fee — covering the diagnostic and the build-out plan — once you decide to move forward and contract the build.
The plan turns the diagnostic into branded Business OS modules with a clear scope — Quick Win Build, Core Business OS, or Full Overhaul — then we deploy it. Investment and ownership terms (what you own, what YInfra manages, what is exportable, and what happens if the engagement ends) are scoped here, against your real stack.
Once live, YInfra runs and maintains the operating layer on one of two retainers: a managed cloud-host retainer (we host and operate it for you) or a standard retainer (you hold the infrastructure, we keep it running). Pay the retainer upfront and you get a slight discount. Either way you keep your data, configuration, and exit rights.
The comparison
Most local businesses run 6 to 10 separate tools — separate bills, separate logins, and none of them fully integrated. At $800 to $2,400 per tool per year, that is roughly $4,800 to $24,000 in annual SaaS spend. The example stack below sits near the low end of that range; your actual number depends on which tools and tiers you run.
Cost
A typical local business runs on six to ten rented SaaS tools — website builder, booking, CRM, email and SMS, payments, reviews, forms, and scheduling. Separately billed, never integrated, and none of it truly yours. Average spend: $800–$2,400 per year per tool, compounding monthly, forever.
| Tool | Rented (avg/mo) | With YInfra |
|---|---|---|
| Website builder | $29/mo | Owned — included in your build |
| Online booking | $49/mo | Owned booking layer — connects to your calendar |
| CRM | $99/mo | Owned — live in your console |
| Email & SMS | $79/mo | Owned — branded email, connect-ready |
| Payment processing | 2.9% + 30¢ | Built in — your processor's same rates, zero extra tool |
| Reviews / reputation | $49/mo | Integrated — not a separate subscription |
| Forms | $29/mo | Owned — intake flows into CRM directly |
| Scheduling | $15/mo | Owned — booking layer included |
The rented stack above runs $349/mo — over $4,000/year — for tools that never talk to each other. A YInfra build replaces all of it with one owned operating layer, built to your spec, branded as yours. You pay to build it once; you own it after.

Investment and ownership
There is no menu price, and the Diagnostic is free to receive — you only pay if you decide to move forward. When you do, a small fee covers the diagnostic and the build-out plan; the build is scoped and quoted against your actual stack from there.
The proposal sets what you own, what YInfra manages, what is exportable, and what happens if the engagement ends. Investment is scoped against the recommended path — never quoted before the diagnostic shows what needs replacing.
Once live, you run on one of two retainers — a managed cloud-host retainer (YInfra hosts and operates it) or a standard retainer (you hold the infrastructure, YInfra keeps it running). Pay the retainer upfront for a slight discount. Either way, your data, configuration, and exit rights stay yours.
The three paths
The diagnostic ends with a recommended scope. Each path removes the highest-friction handoff first, then expands from there.
Narrowest scope
Replace the single highest-friction handoff first — the one leaking the most leads or staff time — and prove the owned layer before expanding.
Foundational layer
Stand up the core operating layer: intake, CRM and pipeline, booking, and follow-up wired together as one branded system the team uses daily.
End to end
Replace the rented stack end to end — presence, intake, CRM, email, payments, and automation — with AI added only where the workflow is stable enough to support it.
Pricing FAQ
A typical local business spends $800–$2,400 per tool per year. With 6–10 tools, that is $4,800–$24,000 in annual SaaS spend — for tools you don't own and can't take with you. A YInfra build replaces that stack with one owned operating layer; the investment is scoped in the overhaul proposal after the diagnostic.
The Business OS Diagnostic takes 1–2 weeks to deliver a full teardown and replacement map. The first Quick Win Build (the highest-friction handoff we identify) typically ships within 4–6 weeks of the diagnostic. Intake begins within 24–48 hours of a qualified consultation request on our rolling intake schedule.
For managed cloud clients, ownership means portable data, exportable configuration, clear exit rights, and client-specific workflow IP. Literal infrastructure ownership is the self-host deployment case.
