Do you publish your prices?

Yes. Rate cards, retainers, project starting prices, and fixed price micro services are all published on the pricing page.

What is the cheapest way to start?

A fixed price micro service from $250, paid on completion with no deposit.

Pricing

Every price we charge, on one page

Rate cards, retainers, project starting points, and fixed price small jobs. Published because working out what something costs should not require a sales call.

Fixed price

A number against a written scope. The price does not move unless the scope does. This is how most work is bought, and it is what we recommend.

40 percent deposit, balance on delivery

Time and materials

Billed in fifteen minute increments against a written weekly cap you set. Right when the work genuinely cannot be scoped up front, such as discovery or an incident.

Weekly cap, billed in arrears

Monthly retainer

A block of hours plus monitoring and priority. Right once you have systems running that the business depends on.

Monthly in advance, 30 days notice

Rate card

Day and hourly rates

Remote delivery. These hold for the duration of a signed statement of work, including multi month engagements.

Role	Hourly	Daily	Weekly	When
Automation engineer n8n, Make, Zapier, and GoHighLevel builds, integrations, and repairs.	$65	$480	$2,200	Most workflow work sits here.
Senior AI engineer Agents, retrieval pipelines, evaluation harnesses, model integration, and inference cost work.	$95	$720	$3,300	Anything where a model makes a decision that matters.
Full stack engineer Product surfaces, dashboards, APIs, portals, and the software around the automation.	$85	$640	$2,950	When the automation needs an interface a human uses daily.
Data engineer Pipelines, warehouse modelling, migrations, reconciliation, and data quality gates.	$90	$680	$3,100	When the numbers have to agree with each other.
Solutions architect Discovery, system design, vendor selection, security review, and delivery oversight.	$140	$1,050	$4,800	Booked in days, not weeks. Usually two to four days at the front of a build.

Rates are for remote delivery. Onsite is quoted separately with travel at cost.
Weekly rate assumes a full five day block and is roughly eight percent below the daily rate.
Fixed price is available on any scope we can write down. Most clients prefer it, and so do we.
Time and materials work is billed in fifteen minute increments against a written weekly cap.
Rates hold for the duration of a signed statement of work, including multi month engagements.

Retainers

Keeping it running once it is built

FAQ

Pricing questions

Why publish prices at all?

Because the alternative wastes both our time. If the number is wrong for you, finding that out on a web page is faster than finding it out on a third call.

Is the starting price realistic or a teaser?

It is a real floor. Roughly a third of projects land at or near it. When a quote comes back higher, it names the specific scope items that moved it.

Do you take a deposit?

On fixed price work over a thousand dollars, 40 percent up front and the balance on delivery. Under a thousand, nothing up front.

What happens if the work turns out bigger than quoted?

We tell you before starting, not after. If we got the estimate wrong on a fixed price scope, that is our problem, not a change order.

Can we pay monthly instead?

Yes. Projects over about eight thousand dollars can be split across the delivery months, invoiced against milestones.

Who owns the code?

You do. Full source, infrastructure definitions, and documentation transfer on final invoice, on every engagement without exception.

Are these prices in US dollars?

Yes, and they are exclusive of any local sales tax or VAT, which is added where it applies.
