COST+: you see what every cost is made of

Under COST+ your price is our actual cost plus an agreed margin. You see both in the proposal, so costs stay predictable.

COST+ works with both engagement models.

What a COST+ price includes

Every COST+ proposal lists these lines. The margin is agreed up front; the other lines follow the team and tools your project needs.

Developer costs
Included
You pay for the time and expertise the project needs.
Software licences
Included
Only the tools the project needs.
Infrastructure costs
Included
Hosting, cloud and similar services.
Profit margin
typically 5–10%
Agreed up front, depending on the project scope.
Your price
costs + margin

Illustrative example: the bars show proportions, not a real price.

Why COST+

  • No hidden fees

    Every part of the price is a line in the proposal.

  • Itemised invoices on request

    On request, each invoice lists developer time, licences, infrastructure and the margin separately.

  • Costs that scale with the team

    Add or remove people and the price follows.

  • Quality within the agreed budget

    We plan delivery against the budget and schedule in the proposal.

  2. Invoices
