Pricing & engagement models. Transparent, mapped to scope.
We don't publish hourly or day rates, and we don't sell hours behind a curtain. Pick the model that fits your scope — fixed-scope or a dedicated team — and get a real estimate with the assumptions written down.
Two ways to work with us.
The right model depends on how stable your scope is. We don't offer staff augmentation: every engagement has a deliverable we own.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price
When the scope is well-defined, we quote a fixed price against a written spec. You know the number before we start. Best for MVPs, proofs of concept, and clearly-bounded projects where predictability matters most.
Dedicated team (monthly)
A dedicated, senior team billed at a predictable monthly rate — ideal when scope evolves and you want continuous delivery. You get consistent people who learn your product, not a rotating cast.
What actually drives the price.
No two builds are the same. These are the levers — we walk you through them honestly on the audit call. For worked examples, see our cost guides.
Scope & complexity
Number of features, integrations, and edge cases — the biggest lever on cost.
Seniority & team size
Senior-heavy teams cost more per hour but usually less per outcome.
Timeline
Compressed timelines need more parallel capacity.
Compliance & security
Regulated work (fintech/healthtech) adds design, testing, and audit effort.
What's always included.
- ✓Founder-reviewed architecture on every engagement
- ✓A real test suite with CI gates — zero-regression as the standard
- ✓Full IP ownership assigned to you (present-assignment clause)
- ✓NDA signed before any detailed discussion
- ✓Weekly demos and honest progress reporting
- ✓Runbooks and handover — you can operate what we build
Pricing questions, answered.
How much does it cost to build software with RAITHub? +
It depends on scope, but we never leave you guessing. For defined projects we quote a fixed price against a written spec; for ongoing work we bill a predictable monthly dedicated-team rate. Book a free 15-minute technical audit and we will give you a real estimate with assumptions — not a vague range.
Which engagement model should I choose? +
Match it to your scope. Fixed-scope/fixed-price fits well-defined builds like MVPs and migrations. A dedicated team fits evolving, long-term product development. We do not offer staff augmentation: every engagement has a deliverable we own and a founder review. Not sure? We will recommend the right fit on the audit call.
Do you offer transparent, fixed pricing? +
Yes — for well-defined scope we quote a fixed price up front with the assumptions written down, and we absorb overruns that are our fault. For open-ended work we use a transparent monthly dedicated-team rate so there are no billing surprises.
Is there a minimum engagement or lock-in? +
No long lock-in. Fixed-scope projects run to their deliverable; dedicated-team engagements are month-to-month with a short notice period. You own the IP and the codebase throughout.
