Fixed-Price Custom Software: No Hourly Meter
One figure, agreed before work starts, for a scope you approved in writing.
How fixed-price development works
Scope is fixed upfront
A scoping call turns your request into a written scope: screens, workflows, integrations, languages, and acceptance criteria. You approve it before anything else happens.
Price is fixed before work starts
The quote is one figure against that scope, with a delivery date. It does not move mid-project. Change the scope and we quote the change explicitly first.
You own the code
Handover includes the full source code, the repository, deployment configuration, and documentation. No licenses, no per-seat fees, no dependency on us.
Three fixed-price packages
Every package includes scoping, human review of all code, deployment, documentation, and full code ownership.
Workflow Automation
For the manual process that eats hours every week.
- One automated workflow, end to end
- Up to two system integrations
- Error handling, retries, logging, monitoring
- Delivery: 2–3 weeks
Custom Web App
For the tool your team forces into spreadsheets or an almost-right SaaS.
- Full app with auth & role-based permissions
- Responsive interface plus an admin area
- Up to two integrations with your systems
- Delivery: 3–6 weeks
Multilingual Platform
For software that must work in more than one language: our specialty.
- Everything in Custom Web App, i18n-first
- Localized interfaces in your users' languages
- Translation pipeline + multi-currency
- Delivery: 5–8 weeks
Need something between packages, or bigger? Every quote is custom anyway. The packages exist so you can calibrate.
What moves the price
Three factors drive most of the variance between quotes, all visible in the written scope before you commit.
Integrations
Each system your software must talk to adds scope. Clean APIs cost less to integrate than legacy formats like EDI or file drops.
Localization
Languages multiply content and testing, not architecture. Because we build i18n-first, adding languages is a linear cost with us.
How AI changes the cost math
Compliance
GDPR data handling, PCI DSS scope control, audit trails: each is buildable, scoped and priced explicitly rather than discovered mid-project.
Frequently asked questions
Why fixed price instead of hourly?
Hourly billing puts the delivery risk on you: every revision and misunderstanding runs the hourly meter. A fixed price against a written scope puts that risk on us: we only price work we know how to deliver on a date.
What happens if the scope changes mid-project?
We re-quote the change explicitly. You see the added cost and schedule impact in writing and decide before any extra cost is incurred. The original quote never silently grows.
What are the payment terms?
Payment is split 50% on scope approval and 50% on delivery, stated in your quote. The split is fixed in writing, so there are no surprise invoices.
Is there a maintenance plan?
Optional care plans cover hosting, monitoring, and small changes for a fixed monthly fee. They are never required: you own the code, so the software keeps running whether or not you take one.
How do I get an exact number?
Tell us what you need built. After a 30-minute call you receive a written scope, one fixed price, and a delivery date. The quote is free and carries no obligation.
One figure, one date, no meter
Describe the tool, automation, or integration you need. We reply with a fixed scope, a fixed price, and a delivery date measured in weeks.
