PRICING
Engagement models & pricing
We don't publish fixed rates - cost depends on scope, team, and timeline. We scope to your requirements, pick the engagement model that fits, and turn it into a clear quote.
01 How we engage
Ways to work with us
Project-based - a defined outcome
Fixed Price
A defined scope, timeline, and budget - best when requirements are clear and you want predictable cost and delivery.
Best whenScope is well understood and you want a firm commitment on cost and timeline.
Not ideal whenRequirements are still forming or you expect scope to shift as you learn.
How budget worksFixed fee against agreed milestones.
Typical for InvatechsA well-scoped MVP, a system integration, or a defined AI feature with clear acceptance criteria.
Phased / AI pilot
Start with a small, funded phase - often an MCP server or AI-agent pilot - and commit to the next only after reviewing results.
Best whenYou want to validate feasibility or value before committing to a full build.
Not ideal whenScope and outcome are already proven and you just need execution.
How budget worksSmall fixed phases; fund the next only after reviewing results.
Typical for InvatechsAn MCP server or AI-agent pilot for SaaS operations, or an AI workflow proof with a path to production.
Team-based - ongoing capacity
Time & Material
Pay for the work actually done as scope evolves - flexible for projects where requirements are refined along the way.
Best whenRequirements will evolve and you want to steer priorities as you go.
Not ideal whenYou need a fixed total committed up front.
How budget worksAgreed rate card, monthly capacity, backlog prioritised with you.
Typical for InvatechsProduct iteration after an MVP, evolving integrations, and ongoing AI feature work.
Dedicated Team
A committed, full-cycle team that works as an extension of your business for a long-running product.
Best whenYou have sustained, long-running work and want a stable team.
Not ideal whenThe work is short or one-off.
How budget worksMonthly team cost (roles + capacity).
Typical for InvatechsA fintech or SaaS product squad running continuous delivery.
Staff Augmentation
Add our engineers, designers, or QA specialists to your existing team to fill skill gaps and scale capacity.
Best whenYou have a team and process and need specific skills or extra hands.
Not ideal whenYou need us to own delivery end to end.
How budget worksPer specialist, per month.
Typical for InvatechsExtra React, Node, or AI engineers joining your in-house team.
02 What shapes your cost
What drives the number
- Scope & complexity - how much you're building and how hard the problems are
- Team size & roles - the mix of engineers, designers, QA, and delivery you need
- Timeline & pace - how fast you want to move and how many people run in parallel
- Integrations & third-party systems - the APIs, data sources, and platforms we connect to
- Compliance & security needs - regulatory standards, audits, and hardening the domain demands
- Ongoing support & evolution - maintenance, iteration, and the long-run care after launch
03 How we quote
From requirements to a scoped estimate
- What outcome are you trying to reach, and by when?
- What already exists - systems, data, code, or a green field?
- Which engagement model fits how your requirements will evolve?
- What are the must-have integrations, constraints, and compliance needs?
- How will we measure that the work is done and delivering value?
What you get back
- A short discovery, then a scoped estimate - typically within 3–5 working days.
- A recommended engagement model with the scope, milestones, and team it implies.
- The assumptions and risks behind the estimate, so you know what would move it.
- A clear next step: refine scope, start a small phase, or kick off the full build.
04 Always included
What's included in every engagement
- A dedicated project manager as your single point of contact
- Milestone-based delivery so budget and progress stay tied together
- Regular sprint demos - you see working software, not status reports
- Manual and automated QA across devices, loads, and security
- Security practices built into every stage, not bolted on at the end
- Clean handover with documentation and knowledge transfer
- IP assignment - the code and assets we build for you are yours
- Data protection and privacy compliance as part of our security baseline
