Fixed-fee scoping sprint
A short paid sprint that ends with a scope, architecture outline, roadmap and budget range. You keep the output even if you build elsewhere.
Pricing
Pricing you can actually plan around
We price by engagement model, not by an hourly rate you have to haggle down. Fixed-fee scoping sprint, milestone-based builds, monthly retainers and dedicated squads. Clear ranges, full IP ownership, no surprise invoices.
- Fixed-fee scoping sprint that ends with a real scope, roadmap and budget range.
- Milestone billing on fixed-scope builds. You approve working software before each payment.
- Senior squads at a fair rate. We compete on outcomes, not the lowest hourly rate.
How we price
Transparent ranges and fixed scope
The scoping sprint is a flat fee. Fixed-scope builds are billed against milestones you sign off, not hours you can't check. Ongoing work is a predictable monthly retainer or a dedicated squad.
Milestone-based delivery
Fixed-scope projects are split into milestones with acceptance criteria. You approve working software, then we invoice.
Predictable monthly retainers
Continuous development and dedicated squads bill monthly, with a clear capacity and scope each cycle.
Full IP ownership
The code and IP are yours, assigned in writing before we start.
Engagement models
Four ways to work with us
Every engagement maps to one of four models. Most long-term partners move through several over time: a free discovery call, a paid discovery sprint, a fixed-scope build, then a retainer or a dedicated team.
Discovery and scoping
Fixed fee · 1 to 3 weeks
We clarify goals, scope and feasibility, and turn the idea into a clickable prototype you can put in front of users or investors. You leave with a prioritised backlog, an architecture outline, a roadmap and budget and timeline ranges. Best when you need to validate before committing.
Fixed-scope build
Milestone-billed
MVPs, custom SaaS and platforms, AI integrations and websites, delivered in phased releases you approve. Best when outcomes and constraints are clear enough to commit.
Retainer and continuous development
Monthly · ongoing
We take responsibility for a product stream: feature delivery, UX and performance, maintenance and DevOps. Usually starts with a one to three month pilot. Best when you want to raise throughput on a live product.
Dedicated product team
Monthly
A senior-led squad working as an extension of your org. We manage the team, you set the priorities. Best when you need sustained capacity with senior leadership, not just bodies.
Indicative ranges
A rough sense of the budget
These are ballpark figures to set expectations, not a price list. The real number depends on scope, complexity and team size; we define it together in discovery and put it in writing before anything is committed.

Find your level
Roughly, where does your product sit?
A quick way to place your product by complexity and see how that maps to time and investment. Orientation, not a quote.
Smaller slices and pilots
A focused internal tool, a thin vertical slice of a larger product, or a small AI assistant on an existing system. Usually 2 to 6 weeks once scoped.
Mid-complexity SaaS and internal tools
A core SaaS product, dashboard or internal tool with several flows, integrations and user roles. Often an 8 to 12 week MVP or Phase 1, then follow-up releases.
Complex platforms and multi-module systems
Multi-tenant platforms, heavy domain logic, or multi-country and multi-team setups. Structured as a discovery sprint plus several delivery phases, not a single big-bang build.
- Partial
Tech Lead
Owns architecture, code quality and technical risk. Reviews every change, including what the agents generate.
- Partial
Product Lead
Scope, roadmap, stakeholder alignment and the outcomes you are measured on.
- Discovery-heavy
Design Lead
UX flows, design system and engineering handoff. Heavier early, lighter once the build stabilises.
- Full-time
1 to 2 AI-native senior engineers
Direct AI agents across the codebase, then review every output like a tech lead. Testing, CI and deployment are built into the flow, not a separate team.
Included and excluded
What the price buys, and what it does not
What every engagement includes
The price buys senior delivery, not just hours.
- A senior triad: Tech, Product and Design leads on the work.
- AI-augmented delivery, with humans owning architecture, security and product calls.
- Quality gates: code review, CI checks, tests and a clear Definition of Done.
- A regular demo cadence and a short written update every week or two.
What we do not do
We are clear about cost up front.
- No free pilots, audits or prototypes. The discovery call is the only free step.
- No junior teams. Senior people lead and do the core work.
- No surprise invoices. Scope changes are written down with their impact on time, cost and quality before we proceed.
- No lock-in. You can move to another team or take the work in-house at any time.
How it starts
From a first call to a long-term partnership
You do not have to commit to everything up front. Most engagements start small and grow as trust does.

Pricing questions
Common questions
We work through a small set of proven models: discovery and scoping sprints, fixed-scope projects, ongoing retainers for product growth and platform care, plus dedicated senior-led product squads. Fixed-scope projects cover work like MVPs, rebuilds and AI integrations. We'll recommend the lightest model that still protects outcomes and risk for both sides.
Serious new builds usually start at a meaningful multi-week scope (roughly €25–30k+ for an MVP) and scale with complexity, integrations and team size. Ongoing retainers are designed to support a focused senior-led squad rather than "a few hours per month".
For a well-scoped MVP, 8–12 weeks from alignment to launch is typical, depending on complexity and how quickly we make decisions together. Larger platforms or rebuilds are usually phased into several releases so you can see value and reduce risk earlier.
We work in clear phases and keep trade-offs explicit. If new work appears, we either adjust the current phase, with conscious cuts or extensions, or carve out a follow-up phase, rather than quietly stretching timelines and budgets.
You do. We usually work in your repositories and cloud accounts, or hand them over at the end, with clear documentation and runbooks so you're not dependent on us for basic operations.
Yes. We sign your NDA before a discovery call if you want one, and confidentiality is built into every engagement agreement and survives the project. We use enterprise-controlled AI tools and never put your confidential or production data into them without your written agreement. You own the code and IP on full payment.
