How We Price Software
Clear, flexible ways to work with us — built around your goals, not a rate card
Priced around your project, backed by enterprise-level engineering
We build custom software, web applications, and AI automation. Every engagement starts with understanding the work — then we recommend the model that gets you the best result for the least risk: a fixed-scope project, an MVP package, or an ongoing retainer.
What you can expect
A clear price before we build
Architecture-first, scalable code
Demo checkpoints, not black boxes
No hourly meter on every email
Four ways to work with us
Most projects flow from discovery into a fixed-scope build, then into a retainer once they are live. We will recommend the model that fits where you are.
Discovery Engagement
A short, focused engagement that turns goals, users, and constraints into a clear scope and architecture plan — so the build is de-risked before it begins.
Best for new ideas, unclear scope, or de-risking a large build
- Goals, users, and workflow mapping
- Technical architecture plan
- Scope, milestones, and risk review
- A fixed-scope estimate you can act on
Fixed-Scope Project
Project-based work with a clear price agreed up front. We define the deliverables together, then build to them — no surprise invoices.
Best for well-defined software, web apps, and integrations
- Defined deliverables and milestones
- Fixed price agreed before work begins
- Architecture-first, maintainable build
- Demo checkpoints throughout delivery
MVP Package
Launch a focused first product version with architecture that can scale. Built to validate fast without painting you into a corner.
Best for launching a first product or proving a concept
- MVP scoping and prioritization
- Core feature delivery
- Deployable, production-grade build
- A clear path to iterate and scale
Monthly Retainer
Reserved engineering capacity for ongoing development, iteration, integrations, and support — without re-scoping every change.
Best for live products needing a steady cadence of improvements
- Reserved monthly engineering capacity
- Continuous iteration and new features
- Priority support and maintenance
- Flexible roadmap, no re-quoting per task
Discovery-first, always
We earn an accurate estimate before we ask you to commit to a build. Discovery is a deliverable in its own right — you keep the plan whether or not we build it.
1
Discover
We map your goals, users, data, and constraints, then translate them into a scope and architecture plan.
2
Estimate
You receive a clear, fixed-scope estimate covering the agreed deliverables — or a retainer recommendation if scope is open-ended.
3
Build
Architecture-first development with demo checkpoints so you see progress and steer along the way.
4
Launch & Iterate
We ship to production and, if you want, move into a retainer to keep improving the product over time.
Included in every engagement
- Architecture-first technical decisions
- Maintainable, documented code
- Sensible security and testing practices
- Regular demos and progress visibility
- A clear handoff or path to ongoing support
What shapes your estimate
- Scope and number of core features
- Integrations with existing systems and data
- Whether AI automation is part of the build
- Timeline and how fast you need to launch
- Ongoing support and iteration needs
