# Aptibot

> Aptibot is an independent software studio for non-technical small business owners. It builds websites, tools that pull data out of PDFs and documents, automations between apps, and small internal tools that replace spreadsheets. Every job starts with a free written audit and a fixed quote, and the client owns the code, logins and data at handover.

Key facts:
- Services: websites and web tools; data out of PDFs and documents; automations between apps; internal tools that replace spreadsheets.
- Pricing (fixed quote, never hourly; pay once): Quick Win from $300 (fix one thing), Business Build from $1,500 (a website or tool, done properly), Custom System from $4,000 (replace spreadsheet chaos).
- Pay monthly: from $299 a month for a Business Build or Custom System, 12-month minimum, hosting and care included, code owned after 12 months; Custom adds a $500 setup fee.
- Optional care after launch: Care $49 a month (websites), Care Plus $99 a month (apps with data, adds backups).
- Ownership: the client gets the code, every login and a how-to video. Domain, hosting and data are in the client's name.
- Timing: quick fixes take about a week; most projects take 2 to 4 weeks, with a preview link every week.
- Process: everything works by email and preview links; no call is required.
- Serves clients worldwide. Contact: ayodhi@aptibot.com
