One subscription, one setup fee, and trainer days you can count. Support is metered in credits, so the bill has a ceiling — for you and for us.
What it costs
| Platform subscription | £900 /month |
| Setup — once | £2,300 |
| FAB Trainer on site | £680 /day |
| Additional builder — 4th onwards | £140 /user |
| Additional support credit | £36 /credit |
| Managed infrastructure | £90–180 /month |
| Typical monthly total | £1,000–1,200 |
Twelve-month minimum — building an in-house capability is a programme, not a trial. Infrastructure is billed at cost plus 15%. Large-scale development engagements are quoted separately.
Typical annual cost
£11,100
For a company running three or four builders. That is £1,850 per builder per year.
Four support credits included every month
Usage is capped and priced beyond the cap, so support cost cannot run away in either direction.
What it replaces
We are not competing on price with software. We are competing on access — whether anyone in your building can build at all.
One in-house engineer
£31,100

How it is delivered
Five companies join a cohort and learn together. Workshops are shared; the on-site days are yours alone.
Five companies per cohort
Two online workshops a month, delivered to the whole cohort — not one-to-one.
On-site days are separate
A FAB Trainer is on site around 1.5 days a month in the first quarter, and around 0.3 by month twelve.
The cost falls as you learn
The subscription is the platform. The trainer is the capability transfer — and it is designed to taper.
This is not a consultancy with a product attached.
Before you ask
Who owns the applications our staff build?
You do. They are your applications, running on your data, built by your employees. Algoritmi owns the platform and the shared template library — not what you build on it.
What happens to them if we leave?
The twelve-month minimum is the commitment; after that the applications and their data are yours to take. The platform is what you stop paying for.
Is it safe to let non-engineers ship to production?
Nothing reaches production without a person approving it, and every change gets its own staging environment first. That is the default and it cannot be switched off. See the governance model →
Do we have to replace our existing systems?
No. Most customers start beside what they already run — the spreadsheet, the paper form, the point tool that never quite fitted — and let the applications accumulate from there.
What if our staff can't code?
None of the forty builders could. They are cleaners, receptionists, care workers, accountants and admin staff. Knowing what the software should do is the part that cannot be taught quickly. How the training works →
Can we contribute templates?
Yes — and you are paid when they travel. Applications that generalise well become templates for the next company in your industry, and contributors share in what they earn elsewhere.
Thirty minutes, and an honest answer either way — plus what your first application would be.
