HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

Engagement models
that fit the work

We scope every engagement individually. Choose the shape that matches where you are: a fixed-scope discovery, an end-to-end build, or a retained partnership for a product already in production. Deliverables, timelines and fees are agreed in writing before work starts.

Discovery

A short, fixed-scope engagement to define what should be built

Fixed scope

  • Requirements and stakeholder analysis
  • Technical specification
  • Architecture diagram
  • Delivery timeline and estimate

Build

Per project

₱150,000₱2.5MIndicative

  • UI/UX design and interactive prototypes
  • Agile development with continuous testing
  • Security review and QA sign-off
  • Production deployment and documentation

Managed

Ongoing partnership for products already in production

Retained

From ₱7,500 / monthIndicative

  • Continuous support and maintenance
  • Regular updates and improvements
  • Monitoring, alerting and incident response
  • Dedicated customer success contact

Build engagements are split into phases with a working deliverable at the end of each one. You approve and pay per phase rather than committing the full budget up front, and you can stop between phases with nothing outstanding.

  • All prices are in Philippine pesos and exclusive of 12% VAT.
  • Third-party costs are not included and are billed to you directly by the supplier: hosting and domains, managed databases, payment gateway fees, email and SMS delivery, paid APIs, stock photography and any commercial licence a project needs. We will tell you what a build will need, and roughly what it runs to, before you commit.
  • Payment terms for a fixed-price package or assessment are set out in the written proposal and agreed before any work starts.
  • Published prices were last reviewed in August 2026. They are prices for the scope described, not a quotation for your project — a quotation follows a written scope and is what we are held to.

Frequently asked questions

Fixed-price packages start at ₱65,000 and cover a defined piece of work — a marketing site, an online store, one automated process, or a first product release. Custom builds are scoped individually and start around ₱150,000, invoiced by phase rather than up front. Ongoing support is ₱7,500 a month and up. Every figure is published on the pricing page, excludes 12% VAT, and was last reviewed in August 2026.

We begin with a short discovery conversation to understand the outcome you are after, the systems you already run, and the constraints around them. From there we produce a technical specification, an architecture diagram and a delivery timeline before any code is written.

Web development, app development, data analytics and AI, e-commerce and payments, marketing automation, and business dashboards. Most engagements combine two or three of these rather than sitting neatly in one.

You can take a care plan, or not. The plans start at ₱7,500 a month and state exactly what you get — included engineering hours, a first-response time and a coverage window — covering monitoring, security patching, backups and a queue of small changes. Without a plan the code and documentation are yours, and you are free to run it yourself or hand it to someone else.

Ownership of the work product is set out in each service agreement. Unless agreed otherwise in writing, we retain the pre-existing tools, frameworks and methodologies used to deliver it. The specifics are covered in our Terms of Use.
