Process

How pricing works

Every engagement follows the same transparent path—from first conversation to signed scope.

  1. 1

    Discovery

    We learn about your goals, constraints, timeline, and existing systems—usually a short call or written brief.

  2. 2

    Scope & estimate

    You receive a written scope with deliverables, milestones, and a clear quote. No vague line items.

  3. 3

    Agreement

    We align on payment terms (milestones, monthly, or custom), start date, and communication cadence.

  4. 4

    Delivery

    We build, iterate, and hand over—with documentation and a defined support window where applicable.

Payment breakdown

  • Project engagements

    Typically split across milestones—e.g. kickoff, mid-delivery, and completion. Larger builds can use more granular stages.

  • Retainer clients

    Billed monthly in advance. Hours and rollover rules are defined in your agreement so there are no surprises.

  • Enterprise programmes

    Invoicing on agreed terms—quarterly, milestone-based, or annual—with procurement-friendly documentation.

Need a custom mix?

Many clients combine a project build with a post-launch retainer. Tell us your situation—we'll propose a structure that fits.

FAQ

Common pricing questions

How do you price projects?

We scope each project based on complexity, timeline, and team requirements. After an initial consultation, we provide a fixed quote with clear milestones—no surprise costs.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Larger projects can be split into milestone-based payments. Retainer clients are billed monthly. We discuss terms during the proposal stage.

What is included in a retainer?

Retainers include a set number of engineering hours per month for maintenance, feature work, or support. Unused hours can roll over by agreement. Scope is defined upfront.

Can we start with a small engagement?

Absolutely. Many clients begin with a discovery phase or proof-of-concept before committing to a full build. We are happy to start small and scale.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept bank transfers, mobile money where applicable, and international card payments. Enterprise clients can arrange invoicing with agreed payment terms.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. Quotes include the agreed scope. If requirements change, we discuss impact and get written approval before additional work begins.

How do currency conversions work on this page?

Starting prices are set in USD and converted using current exchange rates for ZMW, Kenyan Shilling (KES), South African Rand (ZAR), and British Pound (GBP). Displayed amounts are indicative—your formal quote will use the currency and rate agreed at proposal time.
