Pricing

Two monthly plans you can cancel any time, a one-hour working session, and a first-version review. Prices in USD.

Monthly plans

One task at a time

One task stays in progress at a time, chosen from a list you keep in order. When it is done, the next task on the list starts.

$6,000

per month

Two tasks at a time

Two tasks can be in progress at once, for a team working on two fronts. Both come from the same list you keep in order, so priorities stay visible when work moves between tasks.

$10,000

per month

Other ways to start

A working session

One hour of product advice, paid in advance. To book it, write “working session” in your message; the reply gives times and how to pay. If you subscribe within 30 days, we credit the full price to your first month. This stays separate from monthly work.

$300

per hour

A first-version review

A written review of your interface, front end, and readiness for agents arrives within a week, with a walkthrough call. To order one, write “first-version review” in your message and add a link to the product; the reply says what we need to start. If you subscribe within 30 days, we credit its full price to your first month.

$2,500

per review

What a task is

A task is one piece of work you can review on its own, ending in something usable: a designed flow, a merged pull request, or a deployed prototype. Larger requests are split into tasks and described up front. We don’t quote a fixed price for a fixed list of screens.

You keep the list in order and can reorder it any day. Changes to finished work go on the list as new tasks.

How a month runs

A written plan is ready in the first week. Working software is available every week, starting in week one. A written note goes out every Friday, Manila time, covering what shipped, what changed, and the decisions that need attention. A weekly 30-minute call is for decisions and is skipped when there is nothing to decide.

Calls are held from 7 to 9 a.m. Manila time, which is the afternoon in California, and from 9 to 10 p.m. one evening a week, which is the morning in New York.

Terms in brief

One month at a time, paid at the start of each month. The subscription renews each month until you cancel. Cancel any time; to cancel, write to us. Work continues to the end of the month you have paid for, and nothing renews after it. If we end the work before a paid month is over, the unused part is refunded. Bugs in your final month’s work, reported within 14 days of its last day, are fixed at no charge. Read the terms.

Your price holds for as long as you stay subscribed.

Questions

What if the first month isn't a fit?

Cancel any time. Work continues to the end of the month you have paid for, and nothing renews after it. That month's work is yours once it is paid.

When can work start?

The reply to your message says whether it's a fit and when we can start. If no slot is open yet, it gives the next start date.

Can we pause?

You can stop at the end of any month and start again when a slot is open. There is no pause in the middle of a month.

Who owns the work?

Once a month is paid, that month's work is yours: code, designs, files, and the written decisions. We keep our tools and general know-how. Where one of them is built into your product, you get a free, permanent license to it.

Will you sign a non-disclosure agreement?

Yes. We sign your reasonable non-disclosure agreement at no extra cost. Your work appears in our portfolio only with your written permission.

Do you quote a fixed price for a project?

No. A team that needs a fixed price for a fixed list of screens, or several designers at once, needs a different arrangement. The working session and the first-version review are priced per session and per review.

Tell us what you’re building.

Bring the product question that needs attention. A few lines are enough: what it does, who it’s for, and what needs to change. We reply within two working days, Manila time.
