Questions

What people ask before working with us.

What does Eltherion do?

Eltherion is a Miami-based software development company that builds custom software, AI agents and business automation. We design and build AI automations, AI assistants, web apps, mobile apps and SaaS platforms for business owners, entrepreneurs and growing companies around the world.

How much does it cost to build an app or custom software?

It depends on what you're building. A focused automation or internal tool costs far less than a full customer-facing platform, and our pricing is very competitive: we scope every project to your budget and give you a fixed price up front. Tell us what you need and we'll send a free estimate.

How long does it take to build an app?

A focused first version usually takes three to six months from kickoff to launch. Simpler tools can be faster; platforms with payments, several user types, or many integrations take longer. We'll give you a timeline alongside the estimate.

Do you work with small businesses and first-time founders?

Yes. Many of our clients are business owners and entrepreneurs building their first app or platform. We help you decide what to build first, and if an off-the-shelf tool would serve you better than custom software, we'll tell you.

What is AI automation and how can it help my business?

AI automation uses software and AI models to handle repetitive work automatically: answering and qualifying leads, booking appointments, processing invoices and documents, updating your CRM and keeping customers informed. It connects the tools you already use, so your team stops copying and pasting and spends time on work that needs a person.

How much does AI automation cost?

A focused automation that connects tools you already use costs far less than a full custom build; larger custom AI agents and systems cost more, and we scope every project to your budget with a fixed price up front. Ongoing AI usage and hosting usually run from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a month. We'll give you a free estimate once we understand the workflow.

Can you add AI to my business?

Yes. We build AI assistants, chatbots, and automations that answer customers, handle bookings, draft content, and take repetitive work off your team — with guardrails and a human handoff for anything that needs one.

Can you fix or rebuild software we already have?

Yes. We take over and improve existing apps and platforms, rebuild systems that have become slow or fragile, and connect tools that don't talk to each other — without stopping the business while we do it.
