Transparent Pricing for Custom Development

All projects are custom-quoted based on scope, complexity, and timeline. No hidden fees, no surprises.

How We Structure Projects

We engage in project-based work with fixed-bid contracts for clearly defined scopes. We don't bill mystery hours; we bill for concrete deliverables.

Our proposals include a breakdown of the phases: Discovery, Design, Development, and Support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Costs are calculated based on estimated engineering hours, necessary team composition (designers, PMs, engineers), and infrastructure requirements. We fix bids on well-scoped projects.

Yes. In the discovery phase, we can prioritize features to launch an MVP that fits within your budgetary constraints.

We clearly define scope beforehand. If you request new features during development, we issue a Change Request with the additional cost and timeline impact for your approval before proceeding.

We do not offer financing. Payments are typically milestone-based. A standard engagement is a 50% deposit and 50% upon completion, though enterprise projects follow a 25/50/25 structure.

You can pause at any designated milestone. Pausing mid-sprint incurs a restart fee to re-allocate engineering resources.

Absolutely. Our architectures are designed to handle scale. Post-launch, we can engage on a retainer model for continuous feature development and scaling.

You are responsible for paying your cloud provider directly (e.g., AWS, Vercel, Stripe fees). We set up the infrastructure within your own accounts.

Yes, we offer ongoing maintenance and support retainers starting at a fixed block of hours per month.

Discovery typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on the complexity of the requirements and availability of stakeholders.
