You pay for each stage before it starts
The advance books the work, and each payment unlocks the next stage. Nobody is ever far ahead: you're never paying for work you haven't seen, and we're never building work that hasn't been paid for.
Pricing · Cloud and DevOps
DevOps services pricing for pipelines, migrations and servers
Fixed-price projects to containerize your app, automate deployments or move to the cloud, and monthly plans to keep servers patched and backed up. Your cloud provider bills you directly, so you only pay us for the work.
DevOps projects
One-off projects with a fixed scope and price. Everything is tested on a staging environment before production is switched over.

How Cloud & DevOps pricing works
DevOps services pricing comes down to how many applications and environments are involved and how much of the setup already exists. Containerizing one app and adding an automated pipeline is a short, contained job. Moving an application to a new cloud takes longer because the infrastructure, data, backups and monitoring all have to be rebuilt and tested. Monthly server management is priced by the number of servers and the hours of hands-on work each month.
Pay stage by stage, launch on full payment
Simple and fair on both sides: you pay for each stage before it starts, see everything on staging, and the live launch and code handover follow the final payment.
Projects under $2,000£1,500AED 7,300Rs 250,000
- 50%To book the project
Work is scheduled once the advance arrives.
- 50%Before go-live
Paid after you approve the finished work on our staging site.
Larger projects
- 40%To book the project
Covers discovery, planning and the first build stage.
- 30%At the first milestone
Design sign-off, or the first working module on staging.
- 30%Before go-live
After you test and approve everything on staging.
Everything is built on staging first
You review and test the real thing on a private staging site. It goes live on your domain, app stores or server once the final payment is made.
Code and ownership pass on full payment
When the last invoice is paid, the source code, admin access, credentials and documentation are handed over to you, and ownership of the custom work transfers to your company.
Monthly services are billed in advance
SEO, ads, social media, care plans and dedicated developers are invoiced at the start of each month. SEO has a three-month minimum, then continues month to month with 30 days' notice.
Changes are quoted before they're done
Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted in writing first, as a fixed price or at the hourly rate. Nothing is added to an invoice without your approval.
30 days of free fixes after launch
If something we built doesn't work as agreed, we fix it free for 30 days after go-live. After that, a care plan or the hourly rate applies.
Bank transfer (international wire or local transfer in Pakistan), and other methods by arrangement. Prices exclude any VAT or sales tax that applies in your country. Payment, cancellation and refund policy

Pricing questions
How much does it cost to set up a CI/CD pipeline?
Our Pipeline Starter package is $1,200 (£900, AED 4,400) for one application. It covers Docker setup and an automated pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab, usually in 1–2 weeks.
Are cloud hosting costs included?
No. Your AWS, Azure or DigitalOcean bill, domains and any paid tools are paid by you directly to the provider. Our prices cover the engineering work only, and taxes are extra.
How much does a cloud migration cost?
Moving a small application costs $3,500 (£2,650, AED 12,900) and takes 3–5 weeks, including infrastructure as code, backups and monitoring. Larger systems with several apps or databases are quoted after a short review.
What happens if I need more hours than my managed server plan includes?
We tell you before going over, and extra work is billed at $28 an hour only after you approve it. If you regularly need more, moving to the Pro plan is usually cheaper.
Do you have local pricing for Pakistan?
Yes. The PKR prices are a separate price list for clients in Pakistan, set for the local market rather than converted from USD.
