Pricing FAQs
Common questions about our SaaS development pricing and payment terms.
Are these fixed prices or estimates?
The prices shown are starting points based on typical project scope. After our free scoping call, we provide a fixed-cost quote for your specific project — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. The final price depends on feature complexity, integrations, and customisation requirements.
What payment terms do you offer?
We typically structure payments in milestones: 30% upfront, 30% at midpoint, 30% at delivery, and 10% after a 30-day acceptance period. For larger projects, we can discuss custom payment schedules that align with your funding or cash flow requirements.
Do you offer monthly retainers for ongoing development?
Yes. After your initial build, we offer monthly maintenance retainers starting from R8,000/month for bug fixes, minor features, and security updates. For active feature development, dedicated sprint retainers start from R40,000/month for a consistent development allocation.
What happens if the project costs more than quoted?
Our fixed-price quotes are exactly that — fixed. If we underestimate scope, we absorb the cost. If you request additional features beyond the original spec, we discuss the cost impact transparently before any extra work begins. No surprises.
Do I own the code after the project is done?
Yes, 100%. Upon final payment, you receive full ownership of the codebase, repository, and all intellectual property. There are no licensing fees, no recurring code charges, and no vendor lock-in whatsoever.
Can I start with an MVP and add features later?
Absolutely — that's our recommended approach. Start with a focused MVP to validate your idea, then expand with additional features based on real user feedback. Our architecture is designed for incremental expansion, so adding features later doesn't require rewriting existing code.
