Three ways to engage. One standard of work.
Every project is custom-priced based on scope and complexity, but we offer three engagement models so you can pick the structure that fits your business.
Best for defined deliverables
Project
For teams with a clear scope and a defined outcome — a website, a marketing campaign, an MVP build, a tool migration.
- Detailed scope document and signoff
- Fixed price, fixed timeline
- Weekly progress demos
- 30 days free post-launch support
- Full source code and IP transfer
- One round of post-delivery refinements
Most popular
Retainer
For ongoing partnerships — continuous product development, monthly marketing campaigns, or long-term SaaS platform operations.
- Dedicated team allocation
- Monthly strategic business reviews
- Continuous deployments and iteration
- Priority support with 4-hour response SLA
- Quarterly executive review
- Flexible scope within the retainer envelope
Custom
Partnership
For early-stage startups looking for a technical co-founder mindset. We trade reduced fees for cap table equity, full strategic involvement, and long-term commitment.
- Equity + discounted retainer
- Strategic advisory on tech and growth
- Cap table position with vesting
- Founders' Slack channel access
- Long-term commitment (12-month minimum)
- Mutual exclusivity in your category
All pricing exclusive of 18% GST. Final quotes depend on scope, complexity, timeline, and team allocation. International clients invoiced in equivalent USD/AED/GBP/EUR.

Pricing questions.
Why don't you publish per-hour rates?+
Because hours are a poor proxy for value. We charge for outcomes — a fixed scope quote for projects, a fixed monthly fee for retainers. You always know what you're paying before we start.
Can I switch from project to retainer mid-engagement?+
Yes — and most clients do. Once we ship the initial project, we transition to a retainer for continuous improvements, monitoring, and new feature development.
Do you offer any discounts?+
For partnership engagements (equity-based), yes. For projects and retainers, our pricing is firm — but we'll happily scope down to fit a budget rather than discount the work.
What payment terms do you offer?+
For projects: 50% upfront, 50% on completion. For retainers: monthly in advance. For partnerships: structured per the partnership agreement. We invoice via GST-compliant tax invoices.
Do you require a contract?+
Yes. Every engagement starts with a Master Services Agreement (MSA) and a project-specific Statement of Work (SOW). Both are written in plain English, no legalese-traps.
