Proposal-based pricing — no fixed rate card.
Custom software pricing is proposal-based. Two engagement models — Dedicated Development Partnership and Contract Development — cover long-term product ownership and flexible engineering capacity. After a free discovery call, you receive a tailored quote based on scope, integrations, and timeline.
Every engagement is scoped after discovery. Choose the model that fits your stage — reserved dedicated capacity for long-term product work, or flexible contract development for defined scopes and team augmentation.
Why every project is priced after discovery
Proposal-based pricing
There is no honest one-size price for SaaS, MVPs, or custom platforms. Scope, integrations, compliance needs, and support duration change the investment significantly.
Discovery clarifies requirements first. You get a clear proposal — not a rate card that underestimates real work.
Scope & integrations drive cost
Compliance & support matter
Tailored proposal after discovery
What engagement models do you offer?
Two ways to work together — choose the engagement model that matches your timeline, capacity needs, and product goals.
Businesses that need ongoing product ownership, reserved daily collaboration, and a long-term technical partner.
Businesses that need experienced engineering capacity without a long-term partnership commitment.
How do you choose between contract and dedicated partnership?
Both models give you direct access to a senior full-stack developer. The difference is commitment level, availability structure, and how capacity is reserved.
Flexible engineering capacity for defined scopes
Choose contract development if…
You have a defined project or sprint
You need additional engineering capacity
You have an existing development team
You need a flexible engagement
Your priorities may change over time
Reserved daily collaboration for ongoing product work
Choose a dedicated partnership if…
You need ongoing product ownership
You want reserved daily collaboration
You want a long-term technical partner
You need guaranteed development capacity
Your roadmap requires continuous development
Reserved daily collaboration — limited to 3 active clients

Proposal-based — no published rate card
Dedicated partnership & contract development
Discovery call → tailored quote
How custom software, MVPs, and fixed-scope work are priced — and why quotes follow discovery.
Pricing is proposal-based because every project differs in scope, integrations, timeline, and ongoing support needs.
Engagement models include project-based MVPs, reserved dedicated partnership slots, long-term retainers, and technical consultation. A discovery call clarifies requirements before a tailored quote.
See the software development cost guide for budget ranges and cost drivers.
Fixed-scope projects can be quoted after discovery when requirements and deliverables are clear.
Ongoing partnerships and retainers are typically monthly capacity agreements rather than a published rate card — so estimates stay accurate to your stack and timeline.
MVP cost depends on feature count, design complexity, integrations, and whether mobile is in scope — not a single published price.
Discovery produces a scoped estimate with milestones so you can align budget, timeline, and launch criteria before committing to build.
Read the MVP development cost guide for typical ranges and trade-offs.
Dedicated partnership slots versus contract development — and what each includes.
Two primary models cover most needs: Dedicated Development Partnership with reserved daily capacity for long-term product work, and Contract Development for flexible fixed-scope or monthly retainer engagements.
Choose based on commitment level — ongoing product ownership versus defined projects, sprints, or team augmentation.
Compare engagement models on the pricing page.
A reserved daily collaboration window, direct developer access, and focused capacity for architecture, feature development, and delivery.
Only three active slots exist (APAC, India & Middle East, Europe) so communication stays predictable.
