Pricing questions
- Why are your prices lower than Western agencies?
- We are headquartered in Islamabad, where senior engineering costs a fraction of what it does in the US or EU, and we run a small senior team with no sales overhead. You get the same quality of work, the same ownership of code and files, and a written quote before anything starts.
- Why not publish a full price list?
- Because engineering work is quoted on scope, not on a menu. What we do publish is our hourly rate, fixed starter prices, and the budget brackets most projects fall into, so you can tell quickly whether we are a fit.
- What is included in a fixed price?
- Everything in the written scope, weekly demos, the source code and design files, documentation and a 30-day warranty after acceptance. Third-party costs such as PCB fabrication, components, cloud hosting and app-store accounts are paid by you directly.
- What happens if the scope changes?
- We quote the change before starting it. Nothing is added to an invoice that you did not approve in writing.
- Can we stop part-way?
- Yes, at any milestone. You pay for completed work and keep everything delivered so far. Unused deposit for work not started is refunded.
- How do we pay?
- Card via secure checkout, bank transfer in USD, EUR or GBP, Payoneer, or Upwork escrow if your procurement prefers a platform. Invoices are issued for every payment.
- Do you offer a discount for long engagements?
- Yes. Dedicated engineers booked for three months or longer are priced below the hourly rate. Ask on the scoping call.
