How much is this going to
cost?
“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.”
Benjamin Franklin
Engineering Performance Guarantee
30-day performance promise — or it's on us.
We don't ask for trust. We earn it by putting our fees on the line. Before we start, we agree on exactly what success looks like — then we're held to it. Miss the mark in the first 30 days, and you get your money back, no questions asked. Because the only partnerships worth building are the ones where the stakes are real for both sides.
Our Pricing Models
Two ways to build. One standard of quality.
We offer two distinct development models to match where your business is and where it's headed.
Fixed-scope
Development
Continuous Product
Engineering
Understanding Software Development Costs
Fixed-scope Development
"How much is this going to cost?" is the most common question we are being asked by our prospective Customers.
An underlying assumption of this question is that a finite amount of money exists, which, once invested, will result in a final product. Such a product can then be used for a long time without major recurring investments, much like a house, which is expensive to build, but you can then live in it without additional costs (excluding property taxes, occasional upgrades, and minor fixes when things do break).
You normally have a pretty good idea of what kind of house you want; it just needs to be designed and built. Predictable pricing is usually an expectation before you start the building process.
Is this a good analogy for creating a software product? Yes, and we call it ‘Fixed-scope Development’. But it is not the only option.
What is the second option?
To understand this, we should first realize a critical difference between building a house and a software product:
Continuous Product Engineering
Using the house building analogy above, you can re-paint it every week and see what the users would like more. Silicon Valley companies were the first to realize this critical difference and use it to bring software products to the market with a breakneck speed to outcompete their more traditional competitors.
Time-to-market is the name of the game. You may change your product substantially again and again, and learn from your growing user base how to improve it further. What happens when you finally bring your product to the market? You keep building it to stay ahead of your competitors (they will surely do the exact same thing to try to outrun you).
Whoever does this faster becomes the market leader. There is no finish line, and only sky is the limit. We call this ‘Continuous Product Engineering’.
Fixed-scope Development vs. Continuous Product Engineering
