Compare studio quotes on the same points: price, timeline, hosting, warranty, whose server it runs on and whether you get the code. A brief needs six sections: the current process, roles, scenarios, integrations, timeline and budget. For reference, our ready-made Telegram mini CRM costs €350, a bot-based system €1 000–2 000, a CRM with a web admin panel €3 000–5 000, with a 12-month warranty.
Questions a studio should ask you
To name a price, a studio has to understand the task. Before we give an estimate, we ask about five things:
- What we're automating. Which process takes up your time now: requests, documents, reports, publishing or something else.
- How many people will use it. Just you, your team or your customers as well.
- What it needs to connect to. Websites, email, other systems, Telegram: everything the solution needs to exchange data with.
- Your industry. What your company does, so the way processes work in your field is taken into account.
- Timeline and budget. When you need the result and how much you plan to spend.
If a studio names an exact price without finding any of this out, ask what exactly that price includes.
How to compare quotes
Put the quotes side by side and check the same points in each. Here is what to clarify, why it matters and how we answer:
| What to clarify | Why | Our answer |
|---|---|---|
| Price | To compare like with like: ready-made or custom | €350 ready-made mini CRM, €1 000–2 000 bot-based system, €3 000–5 000 CRM with a web admin panel |
| Timeline | It decides when your process starts working | Ready-made mini CRM on the day of purchase, custom work up to a month |
| Hosting | It is a monthly payment after launch | €8.50 a month, backups included |
| Support | To know whether it is part of hosting | Priority support €50 a month, separate and optional |
| Warranty | How long the solution stays under warranty | 12 months on solutions we build |
| Whose server | Who is responsible for uptime and backups | Hosting is on our server |
| Do you get the code | It decides who can change the solution later | Fleet Control is a subscription (SaaS), the code is not handed over; for other solutions, ask before ordering |

A minimal brief: six sections
A brief or specification doesn't have to be a long document. Short answers in your own words to six points are enough:
- The current process. How things work today and where time gets lost: a notebook, email, spreadsheets, manual copying. Add your industry.
- Roles. Who works with the solution and what each person does: customer, operator, administrator, assignee.
- Scenarios. The path of a request, document or message from start to finish. Attach a few real examples: the solution is tested on them before launch.
- Integrations. Websites, email, other systems, Telegram.
- Timeline. When you need the result.
- Budget. How much you plan to spend; if you haven't set a budget yet, just say so.
Here is how the “current process” section might read for our repair service case study: “10 technicians, all requests go into a notebook, and who is busy, what is closed and how much we earned is kept in our heads.” That is enough to get straight to the point.
