In-house decision logic looks cheaper on day one. By month six you're staffing it, by year one you're maintaining it, and by year two you're rewriting it. Nected ships a production-ready decisioning platform in days — at $105K–$283K/year all-in versus $300K–$800K+ for the internal build path.

Code files and config | Free to start, expensive to scale | You built it, you support it |
The first sprint looks cheap. The second year reveals the real cost structure: developer hours on maintenance, infrastructure at scale, governance retrofitting, and the compounding tax of a system that wasn't designed to be a product but became one anyway.

Real teams tried the in-house path. Here's what happened — and what changed when they switched.
Greg R.
Tech Lead, Sidecar Health (Healthcare · 500+ Employees)
"Our internal engine gave us control, but every rule update required engineering involvement and lengthy QA cycles. Nected made pricing decisions business-owned and dramatically increased change velocity."
Kartik Raina
Engineering Manager, Tata 1mg (HealthTech · 1,000+ Employees)
"We spent months building and maintaining custom workflows. Nected reduced delivery timelines from months to weeks while eliminating rollout bottlenecks and operational overhead."
Souradeep Paul
Director of Product, Brightchamps (EdTech · 500+ Employees)
"Hardcoded business logic made every product update dependent on backend engineers. Nected cut development effort significantly and allowed teams to iterate without creating technical debt."
Head of Strategy
Wealthright (FinTech · 200+ Employees)
"We replaced code and spreadsheet-driven incentive management with dynamic workflows. Business teams now manage updates themselves, and rollout delays have effectively disappeared."
Kishore K.
Digital Marketing Manager, Mid-Market
"Nected helps us create baseline rules for our business that automate all the workflows we need. We're able to build day-to-day systems that every team follows — the whole process runs with far less friction now."
Verified G2 Review
Shruti S.
Operations Manager, Mid-Market
"The interface is simple and beginner-friendly. Technical and non-technical employees both use it — no one needs to know how to code. New joiners pick it up with minimal training."
Verified G2 Review
Rakshit P.
Team Manager, IT & Services
"Managing workflows used to take a lot of time. Since moving to Nected, we're significantly more efficient. Even new members understand the workflow quickly — the UI makes it obvious."

At Nected, we don't just offer another automation tool — we provide a frustration-free alternative to in-house decision engines, built around how real teams actually work.
Cloud SaaS on AWS (US East default; EU on Growth+). Self-hosted on Enterprise — Docker, Kubernetes, on-prem on your VPC. Air-gapped deployments supported for regulated industries.
Yes — that's the point. Product, ops, and compliance teams build rules in our visual editor without code. Engineering owns integration once; non-engineers own rules forever.
Growth: 99.5%. Enterprise and Self-Hosted: 99.95%+ with custom SLAs.
All three, across every tier — not just Enterprise. Reports available under NDA.
