Pricing

What it costs, and what you get for it.

Starting prices for every way we work, with the deliverables under each one. No budget guessing, and no form to fill in before you can see a number.

All figures exclude VAT, which is added where it applies.

Idea Validation Sprint

£1,500

A working session with the engineer who would build it, feasibility review, architecture outline, roadmap, and budget estimate.

Fixed price. One working session, then the written review.

Solves: “we do not know if this is buildable, or what it would cost.”

  • A working session with the engineer who would build it
  • Technical feasibility verdict, in writing
  • Architecture outline you can hand to anyone
  • Costed roadmap and the recommended next step
Start brief
Rapid MVP Sprint

From £10,000

Two-week build path for authentication, dashboard, backend, deployment, and demo-ready product proof.

Typical timeline: two weeks.

Solves: “we need something real to show, and we need it this month.”

  • Authentication and the core user flow
  • Dashboard or product interface
  • Backend and data flow, deployed
  • A demo walkthrough you can put in front of anyone
Start brief
AI Integration Sprint

From £20,000

AI feature, chatbot, automation, deployment support, and documentation for a useful first implementation.

Solves: “we want AI in the product and do not know where it actually helps.”

  • One AI feature, assistant or automation that earns its place
  • Evaluation against your own data, not a demo set
  • Deployment support into your existing stack
  • Documentation and handover, so it is not a black box
Start brief
Agency / contract support

Quoted per engagement

Flexible engineering capacity, staff augmentation, agency support, or embedded technical delivery.

Or a fixed project cost where the scope is known. Preferential pricing for ongoing partners.

Solves: “we have the work and not enough senior engineering to do it.”

  • Engineering capacity by the week or the project
  • Embedded delivery alongside your own team
  • White-label work under your brand
  • Preferential rates for ongoing partners

Project tiers.

Prices are starting points. Final scope depends on integrations, content volume, platform targets, design depth, deployment needs, stakeholder reviews, and whether the work is a prototype or production system.

Or just the capacity.

Agencies and product teams sometimes do not need a packaged sprint. They need extra senior engineering, quickly. These are quoted against the work rather than sold at a published day rate — the same rate for an XR build, an AI build and a drone capture would not mean anything.

Contract work

Quoted per engagement

For agencies and companies that already know the brief, the stack and the delivery need.

Agency support

Quoted per engagement

Embedded product, Unity, WebGL, AI, dashboard or full-stack support for client delivery.

Retainer

From £3,000 / month

Ongoing product engineering, architecture, implementation leadership and prototype review.

How our prices work.

So a starting figure is never mistaken for the price of a whole project. All figures exclude VAT, which is added where it applies.

Starting prices, not quotes

Every “from” figure is the entry point for that kind of work, before VAT. What you pay is set once we have scoped it with you.

What moves the price

Integrations, content volume, platforms and devices, design depth, data, deployment and assurance needs, and how many stakeholders review the work.

Fixed where the scope is known

Prototypes are quoted as a fixed cost against a defined scope. MVPs and production builds are scoped separately, then quoted. Ongoing capacity can run at a day or weekly rate.

Handover agreed up front

Source code, documentation, technical handover, IP arrangements, maintenance and post-launch support are agreed as part of each engagement.

US dollar figures are estimates for reference. The £1,500 Idea Validation Sprint is the only fixed price on this page.

Ready to scope the right tier?

Bring the problem, target users, and deadline. We will use the call to identify whether this is a prototype, MVP, production build, AI implementation, or partner delivery project.
