Practical AI for operators & brands.
The right tools. Not every tool.

Iron Within AI tells you which AI tools actually move the needle — then ships them if you want. Three tiers, fixed pricing, no monthly platform rent.

Pricing

Three tiers. Start small. Most teams stop here.

Most owners stop after the Audit or the Plan because they have what they need. That’s not a failure mode — it’s the design. You only pay for the next tier if it’s actually worth it.

How it works

Audit. Plan. Build. In that order. None of them are wasted.

Everything we recommend uses tools you can keep using whether or not you keep working with us. No vendor lock. No platform we own and you rent.

01 — AUDIT

Map the surface

We map every workflow that costs you time or money, then tell you which ones AI actually moves the needle on — and which ones it doesn’t.

$40–$120 · delivered in 5 business days
02 — PLAN

Pick the wins

Pick the top one or two workflows. We write the step-by-step blueprint: which tools, which prompts, which integrations, what to watch for.

$120–$300 · delivered in 10 business days
03 — BUILD

Ship the system

Want it shipped instead of figured out? We build, deploy, and document the automation, train your team, and leave you with a runbook.

What buyers ask first

“Which AI tool do I actually need — and which ones are costing me money for nothing?”

That’s the whole point of the Audit. Starting at $40, a 60-minute call and a written report telling you exactly which tools fit and which to skip. If we don’t find a workflow worth automating, we say so.

Do you charge a monthly retainer?
No. Every engagement is fixed-price. You pay once per tier — Audit, Plan, or Build. If a build needs ongoing infrastructure (API costs, hosting), that’s billed by the underlying vendor directly to you.
Will I get locked into your platform?
No. We don’t own any platform. Everything we build runs on tools you already pay for or can swap out — Claude, ChatGPT, Zapier, n8n, your CRM. You can keep working without us at any point.
What if you tell me there’s nothing worth automating?
Then that’s the audit. You pay the audit fee, we hand you a written “don’t do it” with the reasoning, and you save thousands you would have wasted on tools that don’t fit. Audit fee is credited if you move forward.
Who actually does the work?
Founder-led. You speak with the same person from the first email through the post-launch runbook. No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no tickets routed to people who’ve never seen your stack.

Cut the subscription bloat.
Book the Audit.

60-minute call, written report in 5 business days, honest answers about which AI tools to use and which to ignore. $40–$120, scoped to your stack size. Audit fee credited if you move forward to a Plan or Build.
