How we price

Pricing philosophy.

Why fixed-scope pricing?

Time-and-materials billing rewards us for moving slowly. Fixed-scope aligns us on outcomes — we ship when you ship, not when the clock runs out.

What if the scope changes?

We run weekly change-control. Small scope additions are absorbed; large additions become a written change order with clear cost impact before any work starts.

Do you offer equity-only or deferred pricing?

Not currently. We stay sustainable by being paid on delivery. If cash is a constraint, we can split milestones — but we don't trade engineering for equity.

What about ongoing costs post-launch?

LLM API costs, infra, and vendor fees are pass-through at your rates. We help forecast these explicitly during architecture — usually 2-10% of the build cost per month.
