Know the price
before you commit.
Two ways to work with us: a fixed-price build or a monthly retainer. Both come with a senior team, weekly demos, and a number that doesn't move after we shake hands.
Fixed-Price Build
One project. One price. One deadline.
We scope it together, put the price and the ship date in writing, and that's what you pay. If it takes us longer, that's our problem, not your invoice.
Best for: a specific system, tool, or product you need built
- Exact price agreed before we start
- Weekly demo every Friday
- 2 weeks post-launch support included
- You own 100% of the code
Monthly Retainer
Your product team, on subscription.
A senior team embedded in your business, designing, building, and automating continuously. Pause or cancel with 30 days' notice. Most clients start with a build, then stay on retainer.
Best for: ongoing development, iteration, and support
- Dedicated hours every week
- Direct Slack access to the team
- Priority response within 24h
- Roadmap planning included
Get a ballpark
in 30 seconds.
Three questions, instant estimate. No email required, no sales call ambush. Just the number.
1. What are we building?
Pick the closest match
2. How big is it?
Honest answer, we'll verify on the call anyway
3. Anything extra?
Select all that apply (or none)
Prefer monthly? Roughly $4,000/mo on a 3-month retainer gets you this build plus ongoing iteration.
- Design, build, testing & deployment
- Weekly Friday demos
- 2 weeks post-launch support
- Full code ownership & docs
Ballpark only. After a 30-min call you get a written fixed quote, and that number is the one that ends up on the invoice.
A product team,
without the payroll.
One salary's worth of budget buys you a designer, a developer, and an AI engineer, already working together, already shipping. Every plan is month-to-month after the first quarter.
Growth
~40 hours / month
A senior team on tap for continuous improvements, automations, and fixes. The 'we finally have tech people' plan.
- One active workstream at a time
- Weekly progress update
- Direct Slack channel
- 48h response time
- Pause or cancel anytime (30 days)
Scale
~90 hours / month
Enough firepower to ship a new feature or automation every month while maintaining what exists. Our most popular plan.
- Two parallel workstreams
- Weekly sync call + demos
- Direct Slack channel
- 24h priority response
- Quarterly roadmap planning
Dedicated
Full-time equivalent
A dedicated product team (design, engineering, and AI) operating like your in-house department, minus the hiring.
- Unlimited parallel workstreams
- Embedded in your tools & standups
- Same-day response
- Strategic & technical advisory
- Custom SLA available
Unused hours don't vanish. Up to 25% roll into the next month.
Every plan includes full code ownership and documentation.
We don't vanish
after launch.
Every fixed build includes 2 weeks of support. After that, a care plan keeps your system monitored, maintained, and improving. No lock-in: you own everything either way, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.
Care Essential
Your build stays healthy after launch: monitored, patched, and fixed without you having to think about it.
- Uptime & error monitoring
- Security & dependency updates
- Bug fixes included
- Monthly health report
Care Plus
Everything in Essential, plus a steady stream of small improvements so the product keeps getting better.
- Everything in Essential
- Up to 6 hours of improvements/month
- Priority response within 24h
- Quarterly roadmap check-in
Care Pro
For products that are core to your business: faster turnaround, more hours, and a direct line to the team.
- Everything in Plus
- Up to 15 hours of improvements/month
- Direct Slack access
- Monthly strategy call
Need more than maintenance? Retainers give you continuous design and development from $4K/month.

We're not the cheapest option (Fiverr exists). We're the option where the thing actually ships, works, and keeps working.
Building something technically new? Your build may qualify for the R&D Tax Incentive.
Australian companies with under $20M turnover can claim a 43.5% refundable tax offset on eligible R&D activities. Where a project involves genuine technical uncertainty, we structure the contract and IP ownership so your accountant can assess a claim. This isn't tax advice; eligibility is your advisor's call, but we'll set the paperwork up right.
The money
questions.
The things people actually want to ask on the first call, answered here so the call can be about your project instead.
Something we didn't cover?
Book a quick callThe calculator gives you an honest ballpark so you're not walking in blind. After a 30-minute call we send a written fixed quote, and that quote is the final number. Around 80% of quotes land inside the calculator's range; the rest differ because the project turned out bigger or smaller than the inputs suggested.
