Dry Run
And if you do not want to commit for a year, start with two weeks.
We take something you already planned and do it. At the end, the work is yours and you know how we work — even if you decide to stop there.
Before choosing a supplier, the real comparison is with the alternative: hiring.
Anyone with a product to build has two options: put together an internal team, or entrust it to someone who already has one.
What it really takes
A product is not built by one person.
Taking a digital product from design to production requires at least three roles: someone to develop it, someone more experienced to define the architecture and review the work, and someone to keep requirements, priorities, and timing aligned.
If one is missing, the cost does not disappear: the result does.
What an internal team costs
| Mid-level | Senior | Project Lead | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gross salary | €35,000 | €50,000 | €65,000 |
| Employer cost | €49,000 | €70,000 | €91,000 |
| Benefits and equipment | €6,000 | €7,500 | €6,000 |
| Annual total | €55,000 | €77,500 | €97,000 |
Total team cost, first year: €229,500
Then add what never appears on the payslip:
- Search and selection
- The internal time and agency fees required to find each person.
- Time before full productivity
- The months during which someone is paid but not yet fully productive.
- The risk of hiring the wrong person
- Salary paid, time lost, and the cost of starting again add up quickly.
What we cost
The minimum for working with us is a commitment agreed around the context.
There is no search, no onboarding, and no hiring risk. The team already exists, has worked together for years, and has a method it does not need to invent on your project. And the time AI saves stays with you. You pay for a fixed number of days per month: if AI lets a task be done in half the time, more work fits into those days.
And if it does not work, it ends. There is nobody you need to dismiss.

| Days per month | 20 | 10 |
| Daily rate | €525 | €525 |
| Monthly total | €10,500 | €5,250 |

When we are not the answer
We are not always the right answer.
The comparison above applies when you have a project to build. There are three cases where it does not, and it is better to say so before rather than after.
You are looking for someone to add to your team
If you need a developer who reports to you, works your hours and follows priorities set day by day, what you are looking for is body rental. We work as a team, with a method and shared responsibility for what goes into production, and there are better routes than ours for that need.
The budget cannot support the project
It is not a matter of rates. If the available budget is not enough to take the product into production, the work stops halfway — and a half-built product helps nobody.
You need a one-off job
An integration to wrap up in two weeks, then everyone goes their own way. We can do it, but we do our best work when we can build up context on a product that grows. If your needs come and go, or the product moves into maintenance once it is live, that fits the way we work.
In these cases it is only fair to clarify things upfront, while it still costs nobody anything. The same goes for prototypes and market tests: as long as you are working out whether an idea works, you can try it on your own, AI included. When you have a product to grow, even if you are not yet sure how, this is exactly the time to talk.
