Pricing

How we price work, and what you actually get

We publish indicative ranges rather than hiding behind 'contact us'. Real numbers come after a scoping call, because an estimate against unclear requirements helps nobody.

Engagement models

Three ways to work with us

Which one fits depends on how well defined the work is and how much of it you want to steer. We will recommend one rather than letting you guess.

Discovery & Scoping

A fixed-price phase that turns an unclear idea into a specification, a prototype and a costed plan.

from ₹1,75,000

2–3 weeks · credited in full against a subsequent build

  • Stakeholder and user interviews
  • Current process mapping
  • Functional specification
  • Clickable prototype
  • Technical architecture
  • Milestone plan with costs
  • Written build-or-buy recommendation
Request scope

Dedicated Team

Named engineers embedded in your team monthly, working in your process and tooling.

from ₹3,00,000 / person / month

Mid-level rate · minimum three months · see the band below

  • You interview and select each person
  • Works in your tracker and repositories
  • Committed daily overlap hours
  • Delivery lead and reporting included
  • Equipment, licences and workspace included
  • Composition flexes as needs change
  • Documented handover on exit
Discuss a team

Indian clients are billed in INR plus GST at the applicable rate. International clients are billed in USD or another agreed currency and treated as export of services. All figures are indicative starting points, not quotations.

Rate card

What people cost, by role

Priced by role rather than by service, because the same engineer covers several of the things on our services list and a per-service card just invites arguments about which bucket a task belongs in.

Dedicated team — monthly

RoleExperiencePer month
Junior Engineer 0–2 years ₹2,00,000
Engineer 2–5 years ₹3,00,000
Senior Engineer 5–8 years ₹4,70,000
Lead / Architect 8+ years ₹6,00,000
QA Engineer 2–5 years ₹2,20,000
UI/UX Designer 3–6 years ₹2,70,000
DevOps Engineer 4–8 years ₹4,00,000
Delivery Lead 6+ years ₹4,35,000

All-inclusive: equipment, software licences, workspace, statutory contributions and management overhead. Based on roughly 168 hours a month. Minimum three months.

Time & materials — hourly

RolePer hour
QA Engineer ₹1,850
UI/UX Designer ₹2,200
Engineer ₹2,500
Mobile Engineer ₹2,850
DevOps / Cloud Engineer ₹3,500
Senior Engineer ₹3,750
Data / AI Engineer ₹4,350
Solution Architect ₹5,400
Technical consulting / due diligence ₹6,650

Minimum engagement 20 hours. Billed against a shared, itemised time log. For anything beyond roughly six weeks of continuous work a dedicated team costs less.

Platform implementations

Ready-to-deploy solutions

Where your requirement is close to a solved problem, starting from a working platform costs meaningfully less than a bespoke build — and there is no per-seat licence waiting for you as the team grows.

Platform Typical implementation From
CRM Platform 4–8 weeks ₹5,90,000 Details
Billing & POS 4–8 weeks ₹5,25,000 Details
HRMS & Payroll 6–10 weeks ₹7,20,000 Details
Inventory & Warehouse 8–12 weeks ₹8,50,000 Details
Hotel & Restaurant 8–14 weeks ₹9,20,000 Details
ERP (per module) 10–16 weeks ₹8,50,000 Details

Includes configuration, data migration, role-based training, parallel running and go-live support. No per-seat licence — deployed to your infrastructure with the source code yours. Ongoing cost is hosting plus any support agreement.

After launch

Support retainers

Every project includes a 90-day warranty covering defects. Beyond that, most clients move onto a retainer so the system stays patched, monitored and improving.

What drives the number

Why two projects that sound alike can differ threefold

Integration surface

Connecting to systems with good APIs is straightforward. Connecting to an undocumented legacy ERP is where estimates move most.

Number of user roles

Each distinct role brings its own screens, permissions and edge cases. A five-role system is far more than twice a two-role one.

Regulatory obligations

Audit trails, data residency, validation documentation and statutory reporting are real engineering work, not paperwork.

Data migration

Clean source data migrates quickly. Data spread across spreadsheets with inconsistent formats is often the largest single line item.

Scale and peak load

A system for fifty users differs from one facing a hundred thousand in an hour. Peak profile matters more than total volume.

Design ambition

A functional interface using a standard design system is quick. Bespoke visual design with custom interaction adds meaningfully.

Questions

About cost and contracts

Because the same brief can differ threefold depending on integrations, user roles, compliance obligations and data migration. Published ranges tell you whether we are in the right bracket; a real number needs a scoping conversation. We would rather give you an honest range than a precise figure we would later have to revise.

Projects are billed against milestones, typically an initial payment on signing with the balance across delivery milestones. Dedicated teams are billed monthly in advance. Indian clients pay in INR with GST at the applicable rate; international clients pay in USD or another agreed currency as an export of services.

It usually does. Each increment ends with a review where new requirements are scoped and either swapped against existing scope or added with a stated cost and schedule impact. Nothing changes silently, and you approve before we build it.

Every project includes a 90-day warranty covering defects. After that most clients move to a support retainer covering monitoring, security patching, dependency updates and an agreed allocation of enhancement time each month.

No. The scoping call and our written recommendation are free, including when the recommendation is that you should not build the thing you asked about. Discovery is the first paid stage, and it is credited against a subsequent build.

You do. Code is committed to a repository under your organisation from the start, cloud infrastructure is in your accounts, and our contract assigns all intellectual property in the deliverables to you on payment.
