Pricing

One monthly number, and you'll always know what it's for.

Plans are capacity, not hours: a senior developer for a fixed number of days a week, billed monthly, cancel with notice. Extras are agreed up front and appear as their own line on the invoice.

How the money works

Every plan is billed monthly by card or Direct Debit through Stripe. Your invoice lists the developer, the days and the month, plus any extras you agreed in advance with your handler. AI tooling for our developers is a flat subscription we pay per person, so it is included in the plan and never a metered line on your invoice.

Project work (a website, a brand, a fixed-scope build) is still quoted as a fixed price up front, the way we've always done it. A recent full design and build came in around £7,500 + VAT, agreed before we started.
