Pricing questions

How do you handle scope changes in fixed-price projects?
Any changes outside the agreed statement of work require a formal change request. We provide an updated quote with new costs and timeline. You approve before we proceed. Typical scope expansion adds 15–30% to project cost and timeline.
What if a project finishes under budget (fixed-price)?
Fixed-price means the agreed amount is final, regardless of actual hours spent. If we finish early, you do not receive a refund. For time-and-materials or dedicated teams, you only pay for actual hours worked.
Are testing and deployment included in the price?
Yes. All quotes include QA testing, user acceptance testing (UAT), and deployment to production. We do not include data migration from legacy systems or end-user training, which can be added separately.
Do you offer discounts for startups or nonprofits?
We consider case-by-case discounts for early-stage startups and mission-driven nonprofits. Contact us with your project details and budget constraints.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept wire transfers, ACH, and credit cards (via Stripe). International clients can pay via Wise or PayPal. Payment terms are Net 30 for time-and-materials invoices after the first 3 months.
Can I pause a dedicated team engagement?
Yes, with 30 days notice. You can pause at the end of any billing period. When you resume, we prioritize reassigning the same team members if available.
How do compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR) affect pricing?
Compliance work requires additional documentation, audits, and security hardening. Expect 2–6 weeks added to the timeline and 15–30% increase in project cost, depending on the requirements.
