What It Costs
See the full picture before you commit. From a free ScaleScore to a fully managed stack, here is what each part involves.
ScaleScore + GoFast
Map, Deployment & Hosting
A structured engagement: map your business with a free ScaleScore, deploy a tailored open source stack, and keep it running on managed infrastructure. Everything you need to go from scattered tools to an owned system.
Pricing is indicative and may vary based on your specific requirements. We're currently onboarding through our waitlist.
ScaleScore
A free map of your operations. Where you are strong, where you leak, and which gaps to close first.
FREE
No obligation
Implementation
We deploy and manage your stack. This includes:
- • Open-source apps installed on provisioned cloud servers
- • Apps configured for your business and your team
- • AI integrations & knowledge bases (if selected)
- • Analytics & infrastructure monitoring
- • Handover with the keys: your data, your apps, your access
R 40k to R 80k
Once-off implementation
Cost varies with stack complexity. You are not paying for open source software. You are paying for setup done properly.
Cloud Hosting
Managed infrastructure for your deployed stack. We handle uptime, backups, security patches, and scaling so you don't have to.
- Small stack from R 520/mo
- Medium stack from R 1,020/mo

From R 520/mo

Other costs to be aware of
SaaS Subscriptions
Tools you already use (Xero, Google Workspace, etc.) stay on your own account at your standard pricing. We integrate with them, you manage the billing.
AI Token & Embedding Costs
If your stack includes AI features (chat, search, document processing), you pay the AI provider directly for usage. We set it up, you control the spend.
Backup Storage
Costs depend on your data volume and how long you want to keep backups. We configure the retention policy, you pay the storage provider.
