How a build is priced
The quote comes from the sprint, with a prototype in hand, not from a brief. How long an MVP takes, and what team it needs.
*Drawn to scale, in weeks. The build is one of the two, never both.
The product sprint
Billed by the week. A prototype tested with users, an agreed scope and a fixed quote.
A fast build
When the what and the how are clear. A fixed quote from the sprint, from $25k.
Or an explore build
When the product still needs discovering. Fixed quote from the sprint.
Grow or hand over →
Agreed after launch. The code is yours either way.

Questions
The questions that come with a price.
What does an MVP cost?
Builds start at $25k. The two-week sprint is billed by the week and ends in a fixed quote; two reviewed engagements of about a year each ran $50k to $200k on Clutch.
What are the payment terms?
The sprint is billed by the week. For the build, 30% in advance once the sprint is done and the rest on delivery; builds longer than three months are paid by milestones.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, if you need one, before you share anything.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Our work is the guarantee: 5.0 on Clutch from 5 reviews, and clients write that we go above and beyond what is expected.
What is not included?
Third-party costs: hosting, paid APIs, app store fees, licences. We name them in the quote and you pay them directly, at cost.
Do you work on a retainer?
For CTO consulting, yes, monthly. For a build, the sprint is billed by the week and the build is quoted from it.
