Why we bill "pay as it ships" instead of big upfront quotes

Why we bill "pay as it ships" instead of big upfront quotes

The traditional agency deal asks for a big chunk upfront, a fixed scope, and a long timeline. It puts all the risk on you before you've seen anything work.

What we do instead

We bill monthly, as the product ships. You see working software every month, you pay for what's delivered, and you can pause anytime. You own the code throughout — not at some final handover that's held hostage to the last invoice.

Why this is better for you

  • No giant cheque before you've seen results.
  • Momentum is visible — working software, monthly.
  • If priorities change, you pause. No sunk-cost trap.

Why it's better for us too

It forces us to ship continuously and keep you happy every single month. We can do this because we build the way we built our own products — efficiently, senior-led, no bloat.
