Our pricing principles

How we think about what things cost.

Ceilings, not estimatesEvery project quote is a ceiling. If we come in under, you pay less. If we go over, that's our problem, not yours.
No per-seat or per-user revenue sharePricing is per project or per month. We don't take equity-lite cuts of your product.
Retainers are cancellable30-day notice, no exit fee. If it's not earning its keep, we'd rather hear that than keep quiet-billing.
USD default, INR equivalentWe list USD because most of our inbound is global. India-based clients can pay INR at market rate.
Outcome-based when it fitsFor well-scoped agent work with a clear business metric, we're open to a base fee + outcome bonus. Ask.
Revised quarterlyThe AI market compresses and expands prices quarterly. We re-audit rates every three months. This page shows current.
