Small Business Pricing Calculator and Package Builder That Accounts for Every Real Hour
Alive24 is a pricing calculator for small business: it works out what your service really costs, includes all the hours people never see and helps you set a price that pays you properly—then keeps that agreed price with the client from sale to payment.
- Know your real costs
- Include every hour
- Protect your profit
- Package the outcome
- Explain the value
- Count hidden work
- Include overheads
- Allow for changes
- Set clear inclusions
- Stop copying competitors
- Charge with confidence
- Get paid properly
Is this you?
Why Guessing Service Rates Without a Pricing Calculator Leaves Small Business Owners Overworked and Underpaid
All three have the same problem: they chose the price before counting all the time, costs and work it takes to give the client a great result.
You picked a price that felt acceptable
You looked at what competitors charge, chose a number clients might accept and hoped it would be enough—without knowing whether it actually pays you properly.
You charge for one hour—but do six
The client sees the appointment or finished job. You also do the planning, travel, buying, messages, admin, changes and follow-up—and most of it never reaches the price.
You are busy—but not making enough
You keep working, clients keep buying and money comes in—but after time, materials, overheads and unpaid extras, too little is left for you.
Are you currently doing this?
Underpricing Without a Pricing Calculator Changes the Business You Are Able to Build
A price that ignores the real work makes every sale harder to deliver well—and leaves too little time, profit or energy to improve the client experience. Most pricing software stops at a number; cost estimating software rarely counts the unpaid hours behind the job.
How the price gets chosen
- Copying prices from competitors
- Making up quotes as you go
- Charging only for visible client time
- Forgetting preparation and follow-up work
What gets left out
- Overheads and business costs
- Materials, travel or subcontractors
- Revisions and administration
- Sensible contingency and profit
What the client sees
- Isolated sessions instead of outcomes
- Offers that are difficult to explain
- Inclusions that change between conversations
- Value hidden behind an hourly rate
What it does to the business
- Low-value sales costing just as much to win
- Being busy without enough profit
- Too little space to deliver brilliantly
- Revenue that never becomes real progress
You can stop guessing. The complete pricing journey can live in one place.

One clear process, five stages. Click through to see exactly what Alive24 helps you uncover and connect.
You voice-note one thing…
“Here's everything that goes into my signature package — my hours, prep, materials and overheads.”
One voice note — your price becomes your whole sales system
Step 1 · Set the financial target
Connect the offer to the target
Alive24 connects the offer to the income, business costs and profit the owner is working toward.

These are realistic product examples inside Alive24. No customer result, income increase, award or financial outcome is claimed.
