I bet you've just given some folks a SaaS idea that might be worth tackling with full-on automation.

On the one hand, I'm also curious, it's always interesting to see how things work.

On the other hand, if you're evaluating it in terms of use, why do you care? Your criteria should be, does it set good prices or not?

I spoke to them, and was offered a consultancy-based service (5 digits). They do have some tools, but I don't think that's their main offering. Maybe I missed something though. I wasn't offered any SaaS tool however.

I think you do definitely care, because of the initial cost/commitment. I'd be happy to try a <=3 digit/month service for a few months and see how it performs. It's a whole different ballpark to bring in consultants for a 5 digits project though...

To clarify, I don't say anything about the value they bring. It could easily pay for itself in lots of cases. But it's still a much harder decision to make, and you need to have pretty good faith that it's really going to pay for itself.
