Custom enterprise software is an investment. We believe you deserve real numbers upfront — not a discovery call before we'll tell you if you can afford us.
Hourly billing aligns our incentives with time, not outcomes. We don't work that way. Every project is scoped upfront with a fixed price — so you can plan your budget and we're accountable to the deliverable, not the clock.
Once discovery is complete and scope is agreed, the project price is fixed. Scope changes go through a formal change-order process.
All source code, documentation, and infrastructure configs are yours. No licensing fees, no lock-in.
We never quote a build without a discovery engagement first. That's how we guarantee the fixed price is real.
Most clients start with Discovery, then move into a Build engagement, followed by an ongoing Retainer.
We map your workflows, define the system architecture, and produce a fully costed build proposal — before any development begins.
Full-cycle development of your enterprise CRM or AI-integrated platform, scoped and priced after the Discovery engagement.
Dedicated engineering capacity each month for feature development, AI model tuning, integrations, and platform evolution.
Custom software pricing isn't arbitrary. These are the factors that have the biggest impact on your project cost.
The number of entities, relationships, and custom fields in your CRM schema. A simple lead-contact-deal model is fast to build; multi-division hierarchies with custom objects take longer.
Each third-party system (ERP, billing, marketing tools, data warehouses) adds engineering scope. Well-documented REST APIs are fast; legacy SOAP or file-based integrations take more time.
Standard predictive models (lead scoring, churn risk) are faster to deploy. Custom LLM fine-tuning, RAG pipelines over proprietary data, or agentic workflows are more involved.
Role-based access systems with complex permission trees, approval workflows, and audit logging add significant engineering scope compared to simple single-role systems.
Internal admin tools are faster to build than polished customer portals or mobile apps. Offline-capable mobile apps and real-time collaborative features increase scope significantly.
Systems handling millions of records, real-time event streams, or strict SLA requirements need more architecture investment upfront than typical transactional workloads.
A rough guide to help you self-assess before we talk. Discovery will sharpen these estimates considerably.
These are indicative ranges only. Final pricing is determined after the Discovery & Scoping engagement.
We never quote a number without doing the work to back it up.
30 minutes. We learn your situation, share relevant examples, and determine if there's a fit — no pitch, no pressure.
2–4 weeks of paid discovery: stakeholder sessions, system audit, architecture proposal, and a written scope of work.
We deliver a full build proposal with a fixed price, milestone payment schedule, and timeline. No surprises after this point.
You approve the proposal, sign the agreement, and we kick off the first sprint. Discovery cost is credited to the build.
These modules are frequently added to Build engagements and are pre-scoped for faster quoting.
ML model trained on your historical CRM data, surfaced inline in the pipeline view.
LLM-powered follow-up drafts, meeting summaries, and next-best-action recommendations.
Bi-directional sync between your CRM and ERP (NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics, etc.).
Native mobile app with offline sync, push notifications, and full CRM access.
Real-time board-level reporting with custom KPIs, forecasts, and drill-down views.
CRM-to-Snowflake or BigQuery pipeline for analytics, BI tooling, and AI model training.
Free estimates are guesses. A real fixed price requires us to understand your actual workflows, existing systems, data volumes, and stakeholder requirements — that takes 2–4 weeks of structured work. A Discovery engagement is what makes a fixed-price build proposal meaningful. The fee is also credited toward your build if you proceed.
Build engagements are paid on a milestone basis — typically 25% at kickoff, 25% at mid-point delivery, 25% at UAT sign-off, and 25% at go-live. We never ask for 100% upfront. Discovery engagements are billed 50% upfront and 50% on delivery of the scope document.
Changes happen. Any scope change outside the signed agreement goes through a formal change-order process — we scope the change, agree on the cost, and both parties sign before work begins. We never surprise you with an invoice for work you didn't approve.
In rare cases we consider hybrid arrangements for pre-Series A companies with strong traction — a reduced cash fee in exchange for a small equity stake. This is evaluated case-by-case. We're not a fit for pure-equity arrangements, as we have a senior team to pay fairly.
Every build engagement includes 30 days of post-launch support at no extra charge — bug fixes, performance issues, and deployment adjustments. After that window, ongoing support is available through our monthly Retainer model.
Yes — we're happy to share a redacted example scope document on a discovery call so you know exactly what you're buying. Schedule a free intro call and we'll walk you through what a scoping deliverable looks like for a project similar to yours.
Tell us what you're building. We'll tell you if it fits our wheelhouse, share relevant examples, and explain what a Discovery engagement would look like for your situation.
