Three engagement models, real ranges, no “contact us for pricing.” Every number below is priced from line-item delivery data across 300+ completed projects. A fixed quote for your specific scope arrives within 48 hours of a scoping call.
Engagement models
3–16 weeks
Ongoing, month-to-month
4–14 weeks
Not sure which fits? Compare the three engagement models in detail— including the two we deliberately don't offer.
How we quote
The full methodology lives on our standards page — here's the short version.
30 minutes. You describe the product; we ask the questions that actually change the price.
Line-item by feature, with a milestone plan and payment schedule — a spec you could hand to any engineering team.
If a line item looks wrong to you, we show you the prior builds it's priced against — not just a revised number.
The honest comparison
| Ubikon | US/UK agency | Freelancer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How the price is set | Fixed, from real delivery data | Hourly, or a padded fixed bid | Hourly, frequently revised |
| Time to a real number | 48 hours | 2–4 weeks | Days, but often wrong |
| What happens if scope changes mid-build | Re-quoted against the same line-item data, not renegotiated from scratch | Change-order process, often slow and expensive | Ad hoc, inconsistent |
| Minimum engagement | None — sub-$5k projects, we'll say so upfront | Often $50k+ | None |

We do, on a call — the exact number depends on real variables (platform count, integrations, design complexity) that change the price meaningfully. What we won't do is make you talk to a salesperson to learn the range: every price band on this page is real, and the calculator gives you a specific estimate in about two minutes.
Fixed for the agreed scope. If you add real scope mid-build, that gets priced against the same delivery data and agreed before we build it — never silently absorbed into a bigger final invoice.
Design, engineering, testing, CI/CD, and launch (store submission or deployment) are always included. Ongoing infrastructure costs (hosting, third-party API usage) are billed at their real pass-through cost, not marked up, and are called out during scoping — never a surprise.
No hard minimum, but sub-$5,000 projects are usually a better fit for a freelancer — we'll tell you that directly during scoping rather than take the work anyway.
You get a dedicated sprint cadence priced by the scope agreed each month — not a vague retainer. No minimum term, 30 days notice to end it, and you keep everything built regardless of how long the engagement runs.
One call. One fixed number.
30 minutes, no deck, no pressure.
