Pricing

What it costs.

Every project gets a fixed scope and a fixed figure in writing before anything starts. The numbers below are where things begin, not what everything costs.

How we price

What moves the number.

How much of it already exists
Building onto a clean codebase with documentation is faster than reverse engineering something undocumented, which is itself faster than building from nothing.
How many systems it has to talk to
One integration is a feature. Six integrations is an architecture, and each one has its own edge cases and rate limits.
Whether anyone can answer questions
The cheapest projects have one person who can decide. The expensive ones have four people who each half-own the decision.
Whether it needs to work offline
Offline is not a feature you add later. It changes the data layer, so it is a decision made at the start or paid for twice.

The arrangement

No surprises.

Payment
Fifty percent to start, the balance on completion.
Scope
Agreed in writing first. Changes are priced separately and you decide.
Ownership
The code, the repository and the accounts are yours.
