Questions
Why a flat price instead of hourly?
Because I control the estimate, I should carry the risk of it being wrong. A locked scope and a flat fee mean you know the cost before day one. More on how MVP pricing works in what an MVP really costs.
What is the minimum project?
$4,500. If the system already exists, the default entry is the $5,000 architecture audit. DNS, WAF, WordPress CDN, and single Worker scripts are not in scope.
What isn't included in the $4,500 MVP build?
Native mobile apps, multi-role marketplaces with complex permissions, heavy compliance work, and anything that is really two products. If your idea needs those, we scope a longer build instead.
How do I pay?
Remote B2B contracts can be invoiced in USD, EUR, or GBP. For fixed-scope work, milestones and acceptance criteria are agreed before implementation starts.
Bring the idea or the bottleneck. Leave with a scope and a price.
A 20-minute call is enough to tell whether it's the 14-day build, the audit, or something else.
