Pricing

The price is the price.

Everything we sell is listed here with what it includes, what it excludes and how long it takes. We do not publish an hourly rate, because you are not buying hours — you are buying a working application and a written account of how it got that way.

04After checkout

What happens after you buy

A confirmation email with an access checklist, and your start date.
You grant read-only access — repository, hosting and database, viewer only.
Report and recorded walkthrough within two business days of access.

No call is required at any point. If you would rather talk first, book one.

If the audit finds nothing material, it is free.

Material means a finding that would expose data, lose money, break a deployment or block a store submission. If the report contains none of those, we refund the fee in full and you keep the report. We make this offer because these failure modes are common enough in AI-generated code that we expect to find them, not because we are being generous.

05Terms

Terms that apply to everything

Currency and invoicing

All prices are in USD and exclusive of any taxes that apply in your jurisdiction. We invoice as an Indian export of services, and can supply a standard export invoice and a W-8BEN for US clients.

Payment schedule

Audits are paid in full up front. Sprints are 50% to begin and 50% on handover. Retainers are billed monthly in advance.

Scope changes

Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted separately and started only once you approve it. You will not receive an invoice larger than the number you agreed to.

Ownership

All work product is yours on full payment. It lives in your repository from the first commit, so there is nothing to transfer.

Confidentiality

An NDA and a data processing agreement are available on request and signed before any access is granted.

Access

Read-only for the audit. Write access only for the duration of a sprint, revocable the day it ends.

The full terms of service set these out formally.

06Questions

Pricing questions

Something we haven’t covered?

Ask on a call

01 Why is there no hourly rate?

Because an hourly rate makes our speed your risk. If we are quick, you pay less and we earn less for the same result — so the incentive runs the wrong way for both of us. A fixed price means we carry the estimation risk, you know the number before you commit, and we are paid for the outcome rather than the duration. It also means you can compare us to anyone else without a spreadsheet.

02 What makes a sprint $1,800 rather than $2,500?

The number of findings, how deeply they reach into the application, and whether the platform lets us fix them in place. A single-table access-control problem and a broken webhook sit at the bottom of the range. A multi-tenant data separation failure across a dozen tables, with payment state to reconcile, sits at the top. The audit tells us which it is, which is why we will not quote a sprint before one.

03 Is the audit fee really credited?

Yes, in full, against any sprint booked from it. If you buy the $349 audit and then a $1,800 sprint, the sprint invoice is $1,451. The credit is valid for 90 days from the report.

04 Can I buy just a few hours of help?

No. Small hourly work is a bad deal for both sides — you pay for our ramp-up on your codebase and we cannot commit to an outcome. If your problem is genuinely small, say so on a call: often the answer is a pointer you can act on yourself, and we do not charge for that.

05 Do you do equity, revenue share or deferred payment?

No. We are a services studio and we are paid in cash on delivery.

06 What if I am unhappy with the work?

Tell us during the sprint, not after. Everything is delivered in branches you review, so there is no point at which you first see the work and it is already merged. If we have delivered something outside the agreed scope or below the standard described here, we fix it at our cost. What we will not do is refund a completed, in-scope sprint because the underlying product did not find customers.

Buy the audit, or ask first.

Either is fine. If you are not sure which tier applies, a call costs nothing and we will tell you plainly whether this is work we should be doing.
