No long contracts. We earn the next two weeks, every two weeks.
The math behind the model and the four-stage flow we run every time.
Three pricing models. One actually aligns the incentives.
Hourly
- Aligns the developer's incentive with going slow. Every hour billed is an hour earned.
- No budget container. The meter just runs until somebody calls it.
- By the time you realize the deal isn't working, you're 6 months and $80K in.
Fixed-bid
- Aligns the developer's incentive with scope battles. Every change request is a fight.
- Locks you in before you know if they will be a good fit.
- Punishes the natural learning that happens once software is running in front of you.
Fixed price, every two weeks
- Scope can shift every two weeks at no extra cost. No change orders, no fights.
- You always know the budget container. No end-of-month surprises
- You can leave any sprint. Most of our clients have been with us for years.
From audit to earned partnership
The same flow we've used for years. Audit before estimate. Estimate before sprint. Sprint before renewal. No paid work happens until both sides are aligned.
We learn your business and your code.
Application review & business objectives. No work happens until we understand both.
High-low budget for the project, line by line.
We write the scope from the perspective of your business. Decide what's in & what's out.
2-week cycles with a real demo or release.
Working software you can run, click, and break. Not a slide deck. Not a Gantt chart update.
You decide if we earned the next sprint.
Renew, pause, or walk. No exit fees. No 30-day notice. The outcomes reach or exceed your standards.
14 days. Four checkpoints. One demo.
Day 1: Sprint kick-off, we agree the scope of the next 2 weeks based on what shipped last sprint.
Day 2–13: Build, with a mid-sprint sync if anything changes. Check in at any point to provide feedback.
Day 14: Live demo with shipped deliverables in your hands. You decide whether to fund the next.
"Wait, can it really work like this?"
Yes. We've been doing it for five-plus years. Here's what we hear most.
What if you ghost us between sprints?
We can't. The economic incentive runs the other way: if we don't ship, you don't renew. Our average client tenure is 3+ years. The vendors on 12-month contracts have a much shorter average; they just lock the door.
What's a sprint cost?
Most sprints land between $8K and $15K depending on team size. The high-low estimate at engagement start gives you the project-wide container. Most engagements end up between $30K and $120K total.
Who owns the work?
You do. Always. From day one. NDAs and copyright assignment are signed before sprint 1. Repos, IP, and design files transfer to your accounts immediately.
What if I want to lock you in for a year?
We'd politely decline. The model only works if we have to earn the next sprint. The moment we're locked in, that incentive disappears and so does the part of our service you're actually paying for.
How fast can we start?
From a free Code Audit to a funded first sprint, usually 5–10 business days. We don't have a sales pipeline that takes 3 months to nurture you. If we're aligned on the work, we start.
What if I want to take the codebase in-house later?
That's the goal. We document for handoff from sprint 1. Several of our clients have moved to internal teams that we provide a documented personalized hand-off to.
First sprint after a free Code Audit.
30 minutes. We look at your codebase. We tell you what we'd do. If you like what you hear, we fund the first sprint together.
