Our Primary Engagement Model
Ongoing Engineering
Partnership.
Most clients work with us through a monthly subscription. This gives you consistent access to experienced engineers who understand your business, your systems, and your priorities.
We don’t deliver a project and disappear. We plan, build, maintain, and evolve software the same way an internal team would.
Pricing below reflects typical starting ranges. Every engagement is scoped individually based on velocity and workload.
Essential

Scale
Custom pricing
For businesses running multiple systems or parallel initiatives requiring high-touch collaboration.
Includes:
- Multiple simultaneous projects

- High-touch collaboration
The Context
Building and maintaining a senior internal team commonly runs $25,000–$40,000/month.
Best for:
Multi-product platforms, complex operations, software-first businesses.
Licensing & Ownership
Standard Partnership
Software built during an active subscription is licensed for your use as part of the partnership. If the subscription ends, access to the software is paused.
The Buyout Option
For clients who want full ownership, a clear buyout option is always available. This model keeps upfront costs low while preserving flexibility as your needs evolve.
Other Ways to Work With Us
Not every engagement starts as a subscription. If you’re unsure which approach makes sense, we’ll help you evaluate the right level of involvement.
Fixed-Scope Proposals
If you have a specific project and want a clearer picture of scope, timeline, and cost, we offer fixed-scope proposals to set expectations before we start.

Defined Projects
Clearly defined builds, new feature sets, or MVP launches with specific outcomes.
Short-term Advisory
Architecture audits, security reviews, or technical strategy for leadership teams.
Hourly work is available for limited, well-contained needs. Availability and fit matter more than volume.
A Note on Pricing
"Our goal is not to sell hours — it’s to provide leverage."
Every business is different. Prices shown are approximate starting points. Final pricing depends on system complexity and how deeply we integrate with your business.
