Pricing

Software, web & app development by the hour.

We build and maintain software in C, C++, C#, VB, Python and modern web and app stacks. You pay per hour for exactly what you need, still below agency pricing, without retainers or hidden multipliers.

We track time per service and send a simple monthly breakdown. You keep full access to code, repos and tooling from day one.

Example setups

These are not fixed-price packs, just realistic combinations of the hourly services above, at small and affordable scopes.

Mention an example name when you contact us and we'll tune the scope up or down.

Mini admin panel

Web app

Super small internal panel for editing a few key records instead of doing it directly in the database.

  • Simple backend endpoint in C# or Python
  • Next.js page with table + edit form
  • Basic auth (single-role) and input validation

Estimated hours: ≈ 15–30 h

Ballpark budget: ≈ €400–€900

Bugfix & hardening sprint

Stabilisation

Short, focused sprint to fix the most annoying crashes and tighten up error handling.

  • Bug triage and small crash fixes
  • Improved logging around fragile areas
  • Simple health checks / status page

Estimated hours: ≈ 10–25 h

Ballpark budget: ≈ €300–€700

Legacy VB clean-up

Desktop

Light refactor of an existing VB / .NET app to make it more stable and less painful to touch.

  • Remove dead code and obvious duplication
  • Wrap risky operations with better error handling
  • Add basic documentation and comments

Estimated hours: ≈ 20–40 h

Ballpark budget: ≈ €600–€1.200

Desktop helper tool

Windows

A small Windows utility that automates one repetitive task your team does every day.

  • C# / .NET WinForms or WPF app
  • Configurable input/output paths or options
  • Basic installer or distribution instructions

Estimated hours: ≈ 25–45 h

Ballpark budget: ≈ €700–€1.300

Reporting dashboard lite

Web app

Read-only dashboard that pulls data from your database and shows a handful of useful charts.

  • Backend queries in C# / Python
  • Next.js or React dashboard page
  • 2–3 charts + simple filters

Estimated hours: ≈ 30–55 h

Ballpark budget: ≈ €800–€1.500

API wrapper service

Backend

Small microservice that wraps a 3rd party API and exposes a clean interface to your systems.

  • Service in Go, C# or Python
  • Rate limiting + retries for flaky APIs
  • Basic monitoring endpoint (health / metrics)

Estimated hours: ≈ 20–40 h

Ballpark budget: ≈ €600–€1.200

Automation script pack

Automation

A handful of small scripts that handle file moves, exports, imports or daily clean-ups.

  • 2–4 Python or PowerShell scripts
  • Config via simple env / config file
  • Log file or console output for each run

Estimated hours: ≈ 15–35 h

Ballpark budget: ≈ €400–€1.000

Monitoring basics

Ops

Get alerted when things actually break instead of waiting for customers to email you.

  • Health checks for core services
  • Basic error / log aggregation setup
  • Simple alerts for downtime / failures

Estimated hours: ≈ 15–30 h

Ballpark budget: ≈ €400–€900

Mobile companion (lite)

  • Basic navigation and theming

Estimated hours: ≈ 35–70 h

Ballpark budget: ≈ €900–€1.800

All examples are built on the same hourly rates above. If you want to go even smaller or more aggressive on budget, we can cut scope instead of cutting corners.

Enterprise & long-term engagements

For larger teams and critical systems we can wrap the same engineering work in proper contracts, SLAs and security reviews.

Ideal if you need approvals, procurement or ongoing capacity every month.

Fixed-scope projects

Enterprise projects with clear scope & milestones

When you need a defined outcome, we can turn the hourly services above into a fixed proposal with milestones, acceptance criteria and clear delivery dates.

  • Formal proposals & statements of work (SoW)
  • Milestones with acceptance criteria & demos
  • NDAs, IP assignment & hosting options

Pricing is still rooted in our hourly rates, but packaged into a single, enterprise-friendly contract.

Dedicated capacity

Reserved engineering time for your team

For ongoing roadmaps we can reserve a stable number of hours each month for your company, so you always know you have engineers available.

  • Monthly blocks of reserved hours (e.g. 40 / 80 / 160 h)
  • Single point of contact and shared Slack / Teams channel
  • Lightweight SLAs for response & delivery times

Great for companies that want something between “full-time hire” and “classic agency”. Capacity is billed at the same hourly rates with a minimum monthly commitment.

If you're handling procurement, security review or management approval, we can send a short one-pager summarising our stack, rates and typical engagement models.
