Content automation pricing, built around your workflow.
Every Paper Eagle AI system is a one-time setup, priced in US dollars by how many platforms it serves: $500 for one, $750 for two, $950 for three and $1,150 for four, with a custom Content OS from $1,500. We build the workflow around your business knowledge, your voice and the way each platform actually works, then test it, document it and hand it over. You own the system, and every setup includes three months of maintenance for errors in what we delivered.
Content automation pricing at a glance.
Start with one channel, and expand when the system earns its place. Every setup above the first reuses the same knowledge and voice foundation. A second, third or fourth platform pays for its own workflow rather than for starting again, so each one costs less to add than the first platform did. Eight platforms are on this ladder, in any combination: a LinkedIn profile, a LinkedIn company page, Reddit, Instagram, YouTube, Medium, Substack and X. Website blog writing and website SEO are not on it. Each is quoted separately, and a system that combines either with other platforms is a custom Content OS. Open a setup to see exactly which platforms it covers.
Written down once, then reused by every workflow as you add platforms.
Single-Platform System
$500 one-time
Any one of eight platforms, with one clearly defined content workflow, working reliably before you expand.
Two-Platform System
$750 one-time
Any two of the eight, sharing one brand knowledge base, each with its own output format and publishing rules.
Three-Platform System
$950 one-time
Any three connected channels that reuse the same research and knowledge: a small content engine.
Four-Platform System
$1,150 one-time
Any four channels, each with a clearly bounded output: a compact setup, not a full content department.
Custom Content OS
From $1,500
Website SEO or blog writing with other platforms, complex research, knowledge architecture or integrations, designed as one system.
What every setup includes.
What you are buying is not a batch of AI-generated posts. It is the repeatable workflow behind them: a content system that learns your business’s knowledge and voice, researches and drafts what each platform needs, and routes every output to its next step, from your review to supported scheduling or publishing on your own website. Whatever its size, a setup is built from these six parts, with three months of maintenance over all of it.
- 01
Discovery and scope
A short step that confirms your goals, audience, source material, platforms, voice, publishing frequency and how you want to approve work.
- 02
Your knowledge and voice
A usable reference for what your business knows and how it sounds, built from information you supply or approve.
- 03
A repeatable workflow
Clear inputs, instructions, an output format and quality checks, so the work runs the same way every time.
- 04
Rules for each platform
Content rules written for each platform, rather than one generic draft copied everywhere.
- 05
A handoff you control
A defined review or publishing step, with your credentials and accounts kept in your name wherever possible.
- 06
Tested and handed over
Testing against agreed examples, written documentation and a practical walkthrough of how to run it.
Not automatically included: unlimited content revisions, a full SEO strategy, a custom dashboard, several unrelated workflows, paid API usage, ongoing content management or complex multi-step publishing. Each can be scoped and quoted on its own. A platform that needs significant custom development, specialised data collection, advanced analytics or substantial visual production is quoted separately, or moves the project to a custom Content OS.
What each setup can look like.
One platform can carry very different workflows, and platforms combine in different ways. These are examples, with the indicative setup price for each. A personal LinkedIn profile and a LinkedIn company page count as two platforms, because each has its own voice and its own system. Website blog writing and website SEO are each quoted separately, on their own, and a plus sign marks a floor whose final number comes from discovery.
| Example | Indicative setup | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| A LinkedIn founder-post drafting system | $500 | A simple prompt in, a copy-ready post out, for you to review and post. |
| A Reddit answer-drafting workflow | $500 | It checks the question and the community’s context, then prepares a reply you review and post yourself. |
| Instagram carousels and captions | $500 | Routed to a supported scheduler, where the account type and the post format allow it. |
| YouTube topic research and scripts | $500 | Research, an outline and a script draft, delivered by email or to your workspace. |
| A Medium, Substack or X workflow | $500 | Mostly educational writing, prepared for each platform’s own editor or scheduler. |
| LinkedIn and Instagram | $750 | LinkedIn as a draft you review or through a supported scheduler; Instagram scheduled if the account supports it. |
| LinkedIn and YouTube scripting | $750 | Publishing a YouTube video is not included unless it is scoped. |
| Reddit and LinkedIn | $750 | Separate human-reviewed drafts, each written for the norms of its own platform. |
| A LinkedIn profile and a LinkedIn company page | $750 | Two voices, a person and the company, drawing on one knowledge base. |
| LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube scripting | $950 | Assumes bounded formats and a shared knowledge base. |
| YouTube scripting, LinkedIn and a Substack newsletter | $950 | One recording’s ideas, written up as a post and a newsletter issue. |
| LinkedIn, Reddit, Instagram and YouTube scripting | $1,150 | Mixed publishing modes, tested together: drafts you post on LinkedIn and Reddit, Instagram scheduled where supported. |
| Website blog writing only | Quoted separately | Priced on the research each article needs and how many articles you want, after a discovery call. Not the $500 setup. |
| Website SEO only | Quoted separately | Priced on the size of the site, its CMS and how much needs fixing, after a discovery call. Not the $500 setup. |
| Website SEO or blog writing with other platforms | $1,500+ | Scoped as a custom Content OS, with the website and the platforms planned as one system. |
| A Content OS with advanced research or integrations | $1,500+ | A custom quote, after discovery. |
Read the table as content automation packages priced by the work rather than by the number of logos: a simple prompt-and-draft workflow and a CMS-connected SEO pipeline are not equivalent units. Each setup has its own page, from the Single-Platform System to a custom Content OS, and the service pages describe each workflow in full, from the LinkedIn content system to SEO content automation.
How each platform gets published.
Each platform needs a different level of human review, formatting, scheduling access and attention to its rules, so the publishing method is chosen per platform rather than forced into one universal automation. A system can automate the drafting completely and still leave the final post to you, and that is responsible design, not an unfinished service. The writing changes with the platform too: professional on LinkedIn, casual on Instagram, detailed on a blog. Each platform’s name opens its own page, with how we work there and what it costs: eight of them start at $500 for one platform on the setup ladder, and website blog writing and website SEO are quoted separately.
What the system does
What you do
Drafts a copy-ready post in your voice: professional, but still yours
Review it, then post it yourself or schedule it through a supported scheduler
Prepares an educational answer that fits the question and the community
Use Reddit as a member first; check the subreddit’s rules and tone, then post it yourself
Makes the carousels and casual, on-brand captions, and schedules them through Publer where supported
Keep a Professional account connected; scheduling depends on its type, permissions and the post format
Drafts the company’s posts in a measured, professional voice, scheduled through LinkedIn’s own scheduler or a supported tool
Keep the page permissions in place; we suggest one post a day
Researches your keywords and market gaps, then drafts detailed articles with metadata and checks
Approve the post; final publishing follows the CMS workflow agreed in the scope
Audits technical and on-page SEO, maps the keywords you rank for and miss, and studies competitors
Give access to the site and Search Console; changes follow the plan agreed in the scope
Prepares ideas, research, an outline and a script in your format, with thumbnails where scoped
Record and upload; editing and channel management are scoped separately
Adapts your articles for Medium: mostly educational, promotional once or twice a week
Import each piece through Medium’s own tool, so your site stays the original
Drafts issues from what your business knows, educational first, with the settings prepared
Send yourself a test, then publish or schedule it from your publication
Drafts educational posts and threads, and schedules them through Publer where supported
Reply to people yourself; X does not allow automated likes or keyword-triggered replies
Where a platform supports scheduled publishing, we use a supported scheduler such as Publer, once your account is connected and its type, permissions, media and post format are confirmed. Instagram scheduling through Publer needs a Professional account, Creator or Business. Publer’s integrations run on each network’s own API, so they can only do what that network allows. A Publer plan is a third-party cost you pay unless your proposal says otherwise, and its API can need a higher plan than ordinary dashboard scheduling.
Why LinkedIn and Reddit are treated differently.
LinkedIn’s own help pages say it does not allow third-party software or browser extensions that scrape, change the look of, or automate activity on its website. That is different from LinkedIn’s own scheduling feature, or a scheduler that connects through its supported APIs. Reddit’s spam policy rules out repeated or unsolicited mass engagement, including mass-posting repetitive content and bots that keep promoting a product. So these workflows prepare a draft and leave the final decision with the person who posts it.
A browser bot that posts or engages on LinkedIn as you
A copy-ready draft you post, or LinkedIn’s own scheduling
The same promotion posted across many subreddits
One answer written for the thread, checked and posted by you
A promise that your account can never be restricted
A careful workflow, inside each platform’s own rules
No workflow can guarantee zero risk of restriction. Platform rules, API access, account status and enforcement decisions can all change, so what we promise is a careful workflow, not control over a platform’s decisions. A draft assistant does not make a post compliant either: the person who posts stays responsible for the subreddit’s rules, relevance and disclosure. LinkedIn’s own wording is quoted in how to automate LinkedIn content, and how we work within Reddit’s rules is on our Reddit content strategy page.
Three months of maintenance, included.
Every system includes three months of maintenance after handover. If the workflow we delivered has a technical error that stops it working as agreed, we investigate and correct that in-scope defect at no additional labour charge.
Included
- A reproducible bug in the workflow as it was delivered
- A broken step, mapping, condition or output format that does not match the approved scope
- Help diagnosing an in-scope issue caused by the build
- Reasonable questions about running the delivered system
Quoted separately
- A new platform, workflow, content format, feature, integration, dashboard or data source
- Changes to the workflow because your process or requirements have changed
- New prompts, content strategy, knowledge architecture or output types beyond the agreed scope
- Rebuilding a workflow after you or another provider change or delete its parts
- Ongoing content production, editing, strategy, reporting or publishing, unless contracted
Outside our control
- Outages, price changes, API limits, deprecations or policy changes by third-party platforms
- Expired credentials, revoked permissions, changed passwords or account restrictions
- Edits on your side, unauthorised changes, or changes made by other vendors
- Usage charges from AI models, hosting, databases, schedulers or other services
We still help diagnose those where it is practical, and work that needs new development or a vendor’s intervention may be quoted separately. Your proposal sets the exact start and end dates of the three months, where to report a bug and a reasonable response window. Maintenance is a period of defect correction, not a guarantee that third-party services will never change.
After the three months: optional care.
Your system is handed over for you to own and run. A monthly care plan is optional, and you never need one to keep access to a system that is yours.
| Plan | Monthly fee | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| One-Platform Care | $250 a month | Monitoring and minor in-scope fixes for one workflow, basic operational checks and a defined support window. |
| Two-Platform Care | $400 a month | Care for two workflows, with agreed monitoring and minor in-scope fixes. |
| Three-Platform Care | $525 a month | Care for three workflows, with defined checks and support. |
| Four-Platform Care | $650 a month | Care for four workflows, with agreed monitoring and minor fixes. |
| Custom Care | Quoted separately | For a complex Content OS, several integrations, higher support needs or specific service levels. |
Your proposal defines the support window, the response time, how often the system is monitored and any monthly usage limits. Care doesn’t mean unlimited new features, unlimited content or unlimited custom development. A recurring amount of content that is researched, written, edited, approved or delivered every month is a different kind of service, priced by volume, research depth, review effort and reporting, and never folded into maintenance.
What you pay vendors, and what you own.
Our fee covers designing, building, testing, documenting and handing over the system. The tools it runs on are billed by their vendors, normally to accounts in your name, and they recur for as long as the system runs.
Agreed in writing, before the build
- 01
Your accounts stay yours
You own or control your platform accounts, domain, CMS, scheduler workspace and business data wherever practical.
- 02
Tools are billed separately
Subscriptions and usage fees, such as a Publer plan, AI model usage, hosting, databases or paid APIs, are separate unless your proposal includes them.
- 03
Confirmed before we build
Before the build starts, we confirm which accounts and plans the workflow needs and who pays for each one.
- 04
Paid APIs checked first
If a workflow depends on a paid API or feature, we don’t describe it as included until the dependency and its cost are verified.
- 05
You own what we deliver
The workflows and documentation we deliver are yours, as the agreement sets out, while each third-party tool’s own licence and terms still apply.
- 06
No passwords by email
We never ask for a password through an insecure channel. Access goes through each platform’s own authorisation or an agreed secure process.
The vendors’ own list prices for the common tools, read on each vendor’s pricing page, are in how much content automation services cost, and what a full build delivers is set out on our content automation services page.
How a priced project runs.
Six steps, from the first conversation to the end of the three months. A focused package can move faster than a custom Content OS, so you get a timeline once the complexity and the access it needs are confirmed, not before.
- 01DiscoveryWe agree the business goal, the platforms, the content types, the source material, the review step and the outputs you expect.
- 02Scope and quoteA written proposal confirms the package, what it includes and excludes, the third-party dependencies and any custom work, before anything is built.
- 03BuildWe create the knowledge and voice references, the workflow, the instructions for each platform and the integrations.
- 04TestWe run representative examples, inspect the output, test the routing and confirm how errors are handled.
- 05HandoverYou receive the documentation and a walkthrough of how to run the system yourself.
- 06MaintenanceThree months of defect correction for the delivered scope. Anything new is estimated separately.
Inside the build and the test, the work runs in rounds, and your review of each round is written into the brief the next one is built from. Our Instagram content case study shows that for one client: a first round of carousels her review called too complex for someone scrolling past, and the second round rebuilt from that review.
Questions about Paper Eagle AI pricing.
How much does a Paper Eagle AI content system cost?
A one-time setup: $500 for one platform, $750 for two, $950 for three and $1,150 for four, and from $1,500 for a custom Content OS. Each is a starting price for a defined scope and includes three months of maintenance. After that, optional care plans start at $250 a month.
Which platforms does the Single-Platform System cover?
Any one of eight: a LinkedIn profile, a LinkedIn company page, Reddit, Instagram, YouTube, Medium, Substack or X. Any two of them are the Two-Platform System, any three the Three-Platform System and any four the Four-Platform System.
How are website blog writing and website SEO priced?
Separately. Neither is on the setup ladder: each is quoted after a short discovery call, because the work depends on the research, the number of articles, the size of the site and its CMS. Combined with other platforms, they are scoped as a custom Content OS.
Will the system automatically publish every post?
Not necessarily. The publishing method depends on the platform, the account type, the integrations available and the risk involved. Some workflows prepare drafts for you to post; others schedule through supported tools.
Why not fully automate LinkedIn and Reddit?
LinkedIn prohibits unauthorised automation of activity on its website, and Reddit prohibits spammy or repetitive mass activity. We put useful content and workflows that suit each platform first, and a human-reviewed draft is often the right design.
Does manual posting mean the system is only half automated?
No. Research, finding the right business context, drafting, formatting, quality checks and the handoff can all be automated. You keep the final publishing action only where that is the more appropriate route.
Can Instagram posts be scheduled?
Often, yes, when the account type, the permissions, the content format and the scheduler support it. We check those conditions before we promise a specific publishing path.
Is Publer included in the price?
No, not by default. Any Publer subscription or API access a workflow needs is a third-party cost you pay, unless your proposal says otherwise.
What does three months of maintenance cover?
Technical defects in the system as it was delivered. New features, new platforms, changed requirements and changes made by third-party services are not automatically included.
Do I have to keep paying monthly after handover?
No. The setup is designed to be handed over for you to own and run. Ongoing care is optional.
Can I add another platform later?
Yes. We scope the new workflow, check what it depends on and quote the addition before we start.
Will this guarantee reach, leads, rankings or account safety?
No. We build and test the agreed system, but we don’t guarantee how a platform enforces its rules, search rankings, reach, engagement or commercial results.
Are AI usage, hosting and other subscriptions included?
Only if your proposal lists them. Third-party fees are normally separate, and we confirm them before the build starts.
What makes a project need a custom quote?
Website blog writing or website SEO combined with other platforms, and work beyond a bounded workflow: advanced visual generation, custom APIs, a complex research pipeline, an unusual integration, or a platform that needs significant custom development. A plus sign after a price marks a floor, not a final number.
Find the setup that fits your workflow.
Book one hour on a video call and bring the content task you most want off your plate. We map how it runs today, tell you which setup it fits and what would change the price, and if a system isn’t worth building yet, we say so. If it fits, you get a written proposal with the scope, the exclusions and the third-party costs before anything is built.
