The quote is the bill
Fixed scope, agreed in writing before work starts. If we misjudge the effort, that's our cost not yours.
Pricing
No price tags. No surprises either.
Custom software priced off a menu is a guess — and guesses become change orders, and change orders become the surprise invoices this industry is famous for. We price differently: a free review of your actual project, then a written fixed quote. The quote is the bill.
The review costs nothing
Your project review, discovery call, and written quote are free and yours to keep, even if you build elsewhere.
No lock-in
Ownership transfers at handover and retainers run month to month. We keep clients with work, not contracts.
How we price
Four things determine your quote.Nothing else does.
Every quote you receive comes with a breakdown against these four factors — so you can see exactly what you're paying for, and what to trim if the number needs to come down.
Scope & complexity
What we're building and how much of it: screens, features, integrations, content, and the edge cases hiding inside "simple."
Timeline
Standard schedules cost less than compressed ones. If a deadline forces parallel work or overtime, the quote says so explicitly.
Team composition
Which specialists your project needs — engineers, designers, AI engineers, QA, marketers — and for how long.
Support level
What happens after launch: the included support window, or an ongoing retainer for updates, SEO, and growth.
Engagement models
Three ways to work with us — compared honestly.
Every service we offer is delivered through one of these three models.Your free review includes a recommendation on which fits your project — including telling when the cheaper model is the right one.

From brief to number
What happens when you ask for a quote.
Share your brief
Five minutes in the form below — what you're building, for whom, and any deadline or budget range you have in mind.
Free review, within 4 business hours
We respond within 4 business hours with questions and an initial read on approach and feasibility.
Discovery call
A practical conversation about scope, trade-offs, and timeline — with the people who'd actually build it.
Written quote, itemised
A fixed quote broken down by the four factors, with options at different scope levels. No pressure, no expiry games.
A note on budgets
Tell us your budget. Seriously.
Most clients hide their budget fearing the quote will magically match it. We ask for the opposite reason: knowing your range lets us tell you honestly what it buys — and if it can't buy what you need, we'll say so and suggest a smaller first phase that can. Sharing it is optional. Being told the truth about it isn't.
Pricing FAQ
Fair questions about money, answered plainly.
Why don't you publish prices?
Because for custom work, published prices are either padded to cover the unknown or bait that grows after you commit. A landing page and a SaaS platform are not the same product, and pretending a menu can price both fairly serves the seller, not you. Our alternative is a free, fast, written quote for your actual project — fixed once agreed.
Is the review or quote really free?
Yes. Your project review, discovery call, and written quote are free and yours to keep, even if you build elsewhere.
What happens if the scope changes mid-project?
For a Fixed-Scope Project, changes are quoted separately before any work — never billed silently. Dedicated Team work is adjusted via backlog grooming. Retainer work is handled within allocated hours.
What are your payment terms?
Projects under $2,000 are payable in full before work begins. Projects from $2,000–$10,000 take a 50% deposit before work begins and 50% on completion. Projects over $10,000 follow the milestone schedule in the Project Agreement. Dedicated teams are invoiced monthly in advance. The rhythm is written into the quote before work starts.
Which currencies do you invoice in?
The website may show prices in AUD or USD for browsing only. The currency and amount you actually pay is the one named in your signed Project Agreement or invoice — switching a display currency on the site does not change what you owe.
Do you take on small projects?
Yes — if the scope is clear. If the budget can't buy what you need, we'll say so and suggest a smaller first phase that can.
