What moves the price

Six things that make a build bigger or smaller.

Tell us where you stand on these and the estimate gets accurate fast.

  1. 01

    Number of user roles and screens

    A two-role product with eight screens costs a fraction of a five-role platform with forty.

  2. 02

    Integrations

    Each external system (payments, ERP, hospital records, WhatsApp) adds design, testing and failure handling.

  3. 03

    Data migration

    Moving years of spreadsheets or a legacy database into a new model is often its own phase.

  4. 04

    Compliance and audit needs

    Health, finance and government work needs audit trails, access reviews and documentation that take real time.

  5. 05

    AI features

    Evaluation sets, human review steps and cost controls are part of any AI feature we ship, not extras.

  6. 06

    Who else is involved

    Working alongside your in-house team or another vendor adds coordination; a clean greenfield build is faster.

Pricing questions

The questions that come up on every first call.

How do we engage you?

Three ways: a fixed-scope project, a monthly retainer for ongoing build and operations, or a short paid discovery to decide which. Every engagement starts with a written brief you approve.

How do you price work?

Fixed price for well-defined scope, monthly for ongoing work. The tiers on the pricing page and the budget ranges on the contact form are indicative and only start the conversation. You get a written estimate with assumptions before anything is billed.

Who owns the code?

You do. Work happens in repositories and cloud accounts you control, under licences that let you take it anywhere. We keep nothing you would need to ask us for.

Start with the challenge

Want a number for your project?

Send us the brief you have, however rough. You get a written estimate with assumptions, not a sales call.
