Freelance Automation: How to Price a Custom Google Apps Script Print Tool
Responsible-Box-4905 · reddit · 2026-08-12
A developer shared their first real client project: building an automation tool for a small electronics resale business. Using Google Apps Script, the tool reads spreadsheet data to generate print-ready PDFs for product labels, featuring smart font adjustment and overflow protection.
The project required significant trial and error for print alignment. The developer asks the community for advice on fair pricing structures—whether to charge a flat fee or include ongoing maintenance—providing a realistic reference for pricing freelance automation work.
