Most enterprise work doesn't fit a sticker-price table. Here's how we price it instead — and the ballparks to anchor your planning.
Different problems need different contracts. Pick the model that matches your certainty — or mix and match across phases.
Scoped, priced, delivered.
We agree on scope, write the contract, and ship to the milestone plan. You know the number on day one — and we own the path to delivery.

Tradeoffs
Lower flexibility for scope changes; faster sign-off.

We don't run promotions. We do run structural discounts for partners who help us build the kind of company we want.
Commit to 24+ months on a dedicated team and we'll lock in a 10–15% discount on day rates, plus a free quarterly architecture review.
Verified non-profits, NGOs, and public agencies receive a 15% discount on time-and-materials work and a sliding scale on fixed bids.
Pre-Series-A startups headquartered in Africa qualify for our Builders Programme: reduced rates, deferred payment terms, and pro-bono discovery sprints.
If your project ships meaningful OSS to a repository we maintain or co-maintain, we credit that work back against your invoice.
Slot-in engagements that pair well with an existing roadmap.
