Excel data cleanup cost guide for small businesses

The quick answer

Excel cleanup costs $79 to $249 for most jobs in 2025. AllFixAI charges $79 for up to 5,000 rows, $149 for 25,000 and $249 for 100,000+ — fixed prices, approved before we start.

If you need cleanup every month, automation setup runs $299 to $999 once, then $79/month for support. The automation pays for itself the third month.

What cleanup actually means

A proper cleanup is more than deleting rows:

• Find and safely remove duplicates
• Repair broken formulas and links
• Fix dates, names, phone and number formats
• Split and merge columns correctly
• Build pivots and a simple dashboard
• Leave you with a file you can trust

The hidden cost of dirty data

Bad data quietly costs money. A duplicate customer gets two invoices. A broken formula hides falling sales. A wrong date column breaks your whole pivot.

Teams lose four hours a week working around spreadsheet problems. That is 200 hours a year — $5,000 to $10,000 of staff time. Cleanup is not a luxury. It is a repair.

DIY, hire, or automate?

Try DIY first if your file is under 1,000 rows and the problem is one column. Use Excel's Remove Duplicates and call it a day.

Hire help when the file is big, the formulas are broken, or the stakes are high. One wrong deletion in a 50,000-row file can cost more than the cleanup.

Automate when the same mess returns monthly. We build a Power Query or script that cleans every new file with one click.

How we price it

You send the file. We look — free — and quote a fixed price. Most jobs finish in 24 to 48 hours. You get the clean file plus a short video showing what changed, so you are never surprised.
