Pricing questions

Is the starting price the final price?

It applies to the starter scope listed on the card. We confirm your exact deliverables, total fixed price, and payment dates in a written proposal before you commit.

Can the price change after work starts?

Only if you request a change and approve its written cost and schedule before we begin that extra work.

What will I pay to third parties?

Hosting, app store accounts, AI usage, paid licenses, and other provider charges are separate. We identify relevant costs in your proposal so you can see them before approving.

How do project payments work?

A typical project uses 30% to schedule, 40% after the agreed working demo, and 30% before final handover. Your proposal lists the exact amounts and milestone dates.

How billing works

Your written proposal confirms the fixed project price, deliverables, milestones, dates, and payment amounts before you approve the work.

  1. 1

    Agree the scope and fixed quote

    We list deliverables, exclusions, acceptance checks, timeline, and the total price. No work starts until you approve it.

  2. 2

    Pay by project milestone

    Typical projects are billed 30% to schedule, 40% after the agreed working demo, and 30% before final handover. Your proposal confirms the exact amounts and milestones.

  3. 3

    Approve changes before work

    We price and schedule requested changes in writing first. Retainers are billed monthly in advance; third-party costs are itemised separately.

What to know before you approve

  • Starting prices are in USD and apply only to the starter scope shown. Larger, regulated, or more complex work is scoped and quoted before you commit.
  • Applicable taxes and any third-party hosting, licenses, or service charges will be identified in your proposal where relevant.
  • The estimator gives a planning range only. Your written proposal is the price to review and approve before work starts.

Ready-made software is priced separately. Each product page shows its license price and terms before checkout.
