Engagement models
Four ways to work together
| Model | Best for | What drives cost |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed scope | A project where you know what you need | Number of features and connected systems, and rules you must follow |
| Dedicated team | A product that keeps growing over many months | Team size and experience level |
| Time & material | Work where the plan may change as you learn | Hours worked |
| Support & modernization | Live systems that need care, or step-by-step renewal | How much support you need and how big the system is |
What changes the cost
What moves the price of a project
Scope
The number of features, user roles and workflows. This is the biggest factor. Building in phases helps you control it.
Connected systems
Each system your software must talk to adds mapping, error handling and testing.
Rules you must follow
Audit trails, where data is stored and access rules add design and review work.
Quality targets
Tighter targets for speed, uptime and access need more work and testing.
Team size and timeline
A larger team can finish sooner. A smaller team costs less each month.
After launch
Hosting, monitoring and support are running costs. It helps to plan for them from the start.
Your estimate
What a written estimate contains
- The problem you want to solve
- What is in scope, and what is not
- A plan in phases, with a timeline
- The team and how we work with you
- The price, the assumptions behind it and how changes are handled

FAQ
Pricing questions
How much does software development cost in India?
It depends on scope, connected systems, rules you must follow, and team size. We write down the scope, timeline and price before work starts. Founders can start with an MVP package from US$999.
Do you publish rates?
We publish one price: MVP packages from US$999, with the scope listed. Other work is quoted from a written scope. A rate card hides the things that move cost, such as connected systems and team size.
Can I pay in my own currency?
We quote in US dollars, and in Indian rupees for clients in India. If you need another currency, tell us on the first call and we can talk about it.
Is there a cheaper way to start?
Yes. A short discovery workshop or a small first release lets you test the idea before you pay for the full build. Founders can also look at MVP packages from US$999.
What if the scope changes?
On fixed scope, changes go through a written change request. On a dedicated team or time and material, you set priorities week by week. We write down each change and what it does to the cost.
How long does a project take?
It depends on scope and team size. A small first release can take a few weeks, and a larger system can take months. You get a timeline in the written estimate, after discovery.
