Growth

Build your own connected operation.

$275 monthly · $2,750 annually, paid upfront

Put contacts, conversations, forms, sites and follow-up in one place. Growth is for teams ready to run their own workflows with a shared set of tools.

  • Ask AI and Ari AI access within the account configuration available to you

  • Self-service automations and tools for sites, funnels and forms

  • Two initial Brook activations selected during onboarding, such as a missed-call text-back or an appointment reminder sequence

  • One onboarding call to help you begin with a clear setup

  • Eligible additional help, quoted at member rates before work starts

Your team runs and edits the system. We can quote additional builds or supported changes when you want a hand.

Pro

Start with more of the system built for you.

$425 monthly · $4,250 annually, paid upfront

For teams that want stronger starting infrastructure and priority handling without handing over the whole operation.

  • Everything in Growth, plus access to custom agents and Communities

  • Three initial Stream builds selected during setup, such as connecting forms, bookings, customer stages and invoice reminders

  • One templated website adapted to your business

  • One internal staff tool at Pond scope for a bounded work process, such as a staff work screen

  • Partial done-for-you help during initial delivery, then priority handling and eligible member rates

Your team runs the system day to day. Pro includes access to custom agents. If you want one built, we scope and quote its design, activation and ongoing operation separately.

Managed

Put more of the day-to-day in capable hands.

From $1,500 monthly · from $15,000 annually, paid upfront

For teams that want D&S to operate agreed parts of the system, not simply provide access to more tools.

  • A written operating scope that names what we handle and where your team stays involved

  • Routine work within the agreed capacity

  • A templated website within the agreed delivery

  • One internal staff tool at Pond scope, such as a staff work screen for a bounded process

  • Applicable discounts on approved builds above River when offered

We run the responsibilities named in your agreement. Larger projects, campaigns and work beyond that capacity are discussed separately.

Proactive done-for-you service is a separately selected, tier-scaled add-on. It is not included by default at the base Managed level. If bundled into a higher-priced agreement, your written terms will say so.

Start with a few useful wins. Add more as your needs grow.

Growth includes two Brook activations. Pro includes three Stream builds. We choose these with you during onboarding or an upgrade, so your initial allowance goes toward work that matters now. They are initial implementation allowances, not monthly credits or an open-ended balance.

Managed has a written delivery scope and applicable build discounts. Additional workflows, integrations, agents and larger projects can be added as your needs develop.

Make the costs clear from the start.

On monthly billing, standard setup is $250 for Growth and Pro, and standard onboarding is $500 for Managed. Standard setup or onboarding is waived with annual payment. Growth, Pro and Managed do not include a trial.

Pro also offers a three-month upfront option: $1,275 with setup waived, then $425 monthly. Annual prices are upfront totals, not monthly payments.

Messages, calls, AI use, phone numbers, premium actions, outside services, hosting, monitoring or tuning may add charges. We explain build costs, ongoing service, usage and required account features before activation.

Existing customers: we review your current agreement and active setup before changing your service. Starting a new subscription is not the same as upgrading an existing one.

Choose the way we build.

Templated websites

We start with an established layout and adapt the content, images and settings to your business. This is the website approach included where listed above. Work beyond the template can be added separately.

Designer-custom websites

We develop the visual direction, layouts and experience around your brand and visitors, then build and review it with you. Deliverables and review rounds are agreed for the project.

AI-custom websites

AI-assisted design and development, shaped around your brief with human direction, editing and quality checks throughout. We still take testing, licensing and delivery seriously. This is a separately quoted approach.

Private staff apps

A focused internal tool that helps your team complete a job—such as processing a work queue on phones or computers. Pro and Managed include one staff-use tool at Pond scope. Broader application development is scoped separately.

Customer-facing custom software

A product or portal built around customer journeys, accounts, business rules and integrations. We plan security, accessibility, hosting and upkeep as part of the software engagement.

Designer-led and AI-assisted are delivery approaches, not opposing quality levels. We explain what you receive, what you can edit and what ongoing care the finished work needs.

Keep the right foundation as you grow.

Some features and builds need a particular Pondocean level to keep working. Before activation, we identify those requirements, separate build costs from ongoing service and usage, and explain what a future change could affect. Chargeable work begins with your approval.

Core: a focused account baseline.

Core supports essential booking, contacts, social planning, Ask AI and one compatible templated automation managed as part of the system. Specialized and grandfathered agreements may differ. We’ll help you check the details attached to your account.

Need a more focused path?

Automation & AI helps handle work for your business: follow-up, customer conversations, handoffs and connected processes. Start with one useful step or build a broader service.

Barber and salon options provide a focused booking and follow-up path. Explore the setup and service options designed around appointment-based shops.
