How billing works

Three ways to buy the same senior capacity.

Same engineers, same standard. Pick the commitment that fits how your work actually arrives.

By the hour

Pay as you go

Pay only for the hours you use. The hourly rate steps down as your monthly hours go up.

Variable or hard-to-predict load.

Hours bank

Prepaid block

Prepay a block of hours and draw them down whenever you need them, with no monthly reset.

Project work with an uneven cadence.

Monthly staff augmentation

Embedded capacity

A named engineer embedded with your team at a steady monthly capacity.

Ongoing ownership of your platform.

Every option includes

  • Named engineers, not a ticket queue
  • In your Slack within a week
  • Scope agreed before work starts
  • No retainer, no lock-in, no fixed-price

Good luck out there

Pricing questions

The questions every buyer asks.

01

What does an hour actually cost?

It depends on volume. The hourly rate steps down as your monthly hours go up, so the more you use, the less each hour costs. Tell us roughly what you need and we will send exact numbers.
02

Is there a minimum commitment?

No. Use two hours one month and two hundred the next. You choose how much capacity you draw each month, with no retainer and no lock-in.
03

Can we agree on the work before it starts?

Yes. We turn your goals and technical details into a written plan with scope and an estimate. You decide after reviewing it together.
04

How soon can someone start?

Most teams have a named engineer in their Slack within a week of the first call.
05

Can we meet the engineer first?

Yes. You meet the actual engineer who would work with you before you commit to anything.
06

What if we need to pause or stop?

Pause or stop whenever you want. Because billing is hourly with no retainer, you are never paying for capacity you are not using.
