Pricing

Indicative ranges, so you can budget honestly

These are not quotations. They are the ranges our work genuinely falls into — in rupees, for clients invoiced in India — published so you can tell early whether we are in your bracket. The figure for your project comes from a short conversation about what you actually need.

Important notes on pricing

  • These are indicative ranges to help you budget, not quotations. Final cost depends on your actual requirements, which we establish during a short discovery conversation.
  • Every figure on this page is for clients invoiced in India and excludes applicable GST. Clients outside India are quoted separately — see the note on international engagements below.
  • If your budget is below the lowest range here, say so in the first message rather than not writing. Some requirements genuinely belong on a website builder or an off-the-shelf product, and we would rather point you at one than sell you a project that does not fit.
  • Third-party costs — domain registration, WhatsApp conversation charges set by Meta, AI model usage, payment gateway fees and cloud hosting — are billed to your own accounts so you retain control and visibility.
  • Projects over a certain size are delivered in phases with separate sign-off, so you can stop or re-scope between phases rather than committing to the whole scope at the outset.
  • You own the source code, the database and the documentation for everything we build.
  • We deliberately run a small number of projects at a time so each one gets proper attention. If we cannot start when you need us to, we will tell you at the first conversation rather than quietly add you to a queue.

Clients outside India

The ranges above are for clients invoiced in India, in rupees. For work billed overseas we quote in your currency against scope or a day rate, because the engagement is different: your working hours, your compliance requirements and your procurement process, not just a converted rupee figure.

  • A qualifying export of services is zero-rated under Indian GST, so the GST notes on this page do not apply to your invoice.
  • We publish an overlap window rather than claiming full coverage of your working day. Our hours are IST, and we will tell you exactly which of yours we are reachable in.
  • Payment in USD, GBP or EUR by bank transfer. Exchange-rate movement is ours to absorb within a quoted phase, not yours.

Day rate: US$360 a day — about US$45 an hour — for a senior engineer taking your scope end to end, not a junior with a reviewer. Quoted in GBP or EUR at the rate on the day of the quote, then held for the duration of that phase.

Questions

Pricing questions

The things people reasonably want to know before getting in touch.

Why are these ranges rather than fixed prices?
Because the same request can mean very different amounts of work. A billing system for one counter and one price list is a fraction of the cost of one handling multi-location stock, credit control and e-invoicing. Quoting a single number before understanding your requirement would mean either overcharging you or discovering mid-project that the scope does not fit the price. Ranges let you budget; a short discovery conversation produces the actual figure.
How do payments work?
Typically an advance to begin, then payments against delivered phases rather than against calendar dates. You pay for working software you have seen, which keeps the incentives aligned. For larger projects we agree the schedule in writing before starting.
What is not included in these prices?
Third-party costs are billed to your own accounts so you keep control and visibility: domain registration, cloud hosting, WhatsApp per-conversation charges set by Meta, AI model usage, payment gateway fees and any paid software licences. We estimate these before you commit, and for most small businesses they are modest — often nil for a static website.
Do you charge for the initial consultation?
No. The first conversation, including our assessment of whether you should build at all, is free. A formal process audit on AI and automation projects is charged as a fixed fee, quoted in writing before any work starts, because it produces a standalone written deliverable — including, sometimes, the recommendation not to automate. If you go ahead with the build, the audit fee comes off the project.
What does ongoing maintenance cost?
It depends on the system, and it is optional. Typically a modest monthly retainer covering fixes, dependency and security updates and a quota of small changes. You can also take the system in-house — the documentation and tests exist so another developer can maintain it.
What if my budget is below your lowest range?
Tell us anyway, in the first message. Below roughly ₹30,000 a custom build stops making sense for most requirements, and the honest answer is a website builder, an off-the-shelf product or a smaller first phase — we will say which, and we do not charge for saying it. What we will not do is quote inside your budget by quietly removing the things that make the result work.
Do you work with clients outside India, and are these the prices?
Yes, and no. Every figure on this page is a domestic Indian range, invoiced in rupees. Converting them is misleading in both directions: it understates what an international engagement involves — your working hours, your contracting and compliance process, payment and currency handling — and it anchors a number that has nothing to do with the value of the work in your market. Overseas work is quoted in your currency against scope or a day rate. A qualifying export of services is zero-rated under Indian GST, so the GST notes here do not apply to your invoice.
Can we start small and expand later?
Yes, and we recommend it. Larger projects are delivered in phases with separate sign-off, so you see working software early and decide the next phase from real usage. You can stop between phases without losing what has already been delivered.
