Pricing
Honest pricing, scoped to your project.
No off-the-shelf price list, and that's deliberate. You get a fixed written quote for exactly what you need after a free 30-minute call — no surprise hourly creep, and you own the code.
How pricing works
No price list. A process instead.
A three-page brochure site and a clinical practice-management system with medical-aid claims are not the same job, and pretending they cost the same would be dishonest. So here is the process instead.
Free discovery call
Thirty minutes to understand the problem and confirm it is something I can solve.
A fixed, written quote
Scoped to the work and sent before anything starts, so you know the number up front.
You approve, then I build
No work begins and no money changes hands until you have signed off on the quote.
You own the result
All code and digital assets become your property on full payment. No lock-in, no licence fees.
Before we even talk
What actually moves the number.
How many features, screens and user roles the system needs.
WhatsApp Cloud API, medical-aid claim switches, payment gateways — each third-party connection adds work.
Moving off a legacy system and importing your existing data cleanly.
Most builds land in two to four weeks. Genuinely urgent work can be prioritised, which affects the quote.
A once-off build, versus a monthly care plan for continuous changes and new features.
Why people move
Paying enterprise rates for 80% of what you need.
Most clients arrive here paying R50,000+ a month for software that does most of the job and flatly refuses to do the rest.
A custom build you own, plus a low monthly care plan, almost always works out cheaper over time — and it actually does what you asked. You pay for software that fits your business, not for a vendor's roadmap.
Engagement models
Two ways to work together.
Project build
A defined piece of software — an MVP, an internal tool, a website, or a full system replacement — quoted as fixed scope after the discovery call. Most builds ship in two to four weeks. You own the code outright when it's done.
Monthly care plan
Ongoing support, hosting help, and a steady stream of small changes and new features for a predictable monthly fee — a fraction of what enterprise SaaS vendors charge. Minor tweaks are included; larger work is scoped and quoted first. Cancel on 30 days' notice.
Whichever you pick
What you always get.
Questions
Pricing FAQ.
Because honest pricing depends on scope. A three-page brochure site and a clinical practice-management system with medical-aid claims are completely different jobs. Instead of a misleading price list, you get a clear, fixed quote scoped to exactly what you need, after a free 30-minute discovery call.
Projects are quoted as fixed scope, not open-ended hourly billing. On a monthly care plan, minor changes under an hour are simply part of the plan; larger work is scoped and quoted before it starts, so there are no surprises.
Yes. All developed code and digital assets become your property on full payment. There is no vendor lock-in and no licensing fee for something that was custom-built for you.
A Yellow Archer monthly care plan is a fraction of the R50,000+ per month that enterprise SaaS vendors charge — and it can be cancelled with 30 days' written notice. You pay for ongoing support and real changes, not for features you never use.
