Pricing & engagement models

Every custom software project is different, so every project is scoped before it is quoted. We work in three clear engagement models — and we will tell you honestly which one fits your situation, even if that is not hiring us.

Understand before you build

A fixed engagement that produces the plan your project needs before a single line of code is written.

  • Requirements analysis and technical feasibility
  • Architecture recommendations
  • Discovery report, proposed tech stack, and effort estimate
  • Implementation plan and roadmap

Pricing: fixed engagement fee based on project complexity and discovery depth.

Design, build, and launch

End-to-end development of a web application, mobile application, or business operations system.

  • UX/UI design based on your real workflow
  • Working software delivered in short cycles with regular demos
  • Testing, deployment, and launch support
  • Integration with payments, SMS, and existing systems

Pricing: project-based fee, typically milestone-based, determined by scope, timeline, and team requirements.

Stay healthy after launch

Continuous development, maintenance, and support for products that are live and growing.

  • Monthly support hours and a prioritized backlog
  • Bug fixes and feature improvements
  • Hosting support and uptime monitoring
  • Regular updates and a predictable monthly cost

Pricing: monthly retainer based on required support level and response times.

A note on numbers

We do not publish "starting from" prices because an honest number depends on what you are building. For a sense of the ranges Kenyan projects typically fall into, read how much custom software costs in Kenya — or tell us about your project and we will scope it properly.

Several products we have built — TallyDue, Arbec, Inbuildr, Baylink, and others — are also available as operated services or can be customized for your organization. See the full product list.

Frequently asked questions

How does the discovery engagement work?

Discovery is a fixed engagement that runs before any code is written. You get a requirements analysis, architecture recommendations, a discovery report with a proposed tech stack, and an implementation roadmap with an effort estimate — everything needed to quote and plan the build.

Do you charge fixed price or monthly?

Both, at different stages. Projects are quoted as a project-based fee, typically paid per milestone, once scope is fixed after discovery. After launch, ongoing support and improvements move to a monthly retainer with a prioritized backlog and predictable cost.

What will my project actually cost?

It depends on scope, platforms, and integrations, so we do not publish starting prices. As planning figures, discovery sprints typically run KES 100,000–400,000, small web apps KES 500,000–1,500,000, and customer-facing platforms with payments KES 1,500,000–5,000,000. See our cost guide for the full breakdown of what custom software costs in Kenya.

Do you work with clients outside Kenya?

Yes. We serve businesses across Africa and worldwide from Nairobi. Collaboration runs on WhatsApp, video calls, and shared project boards.
