Tell us your budget. We'll tell you what fits in it.
We don't sell fixed packages. Projects generally start from $1,500, and every quote is scoped to what you're actually building and what you can spend — not a rate card.
Starter engagement
A focused website, landing experience, or well-defined feature for teams validating an idea.
- Scoped around your stated budget
- Responsive, accessible build
- Direct communication with the engineers building it
- Post-launch support window included
Full product build
A complete web app, SaaS platform, or enterprise system — priced against actual scope, not a template.
- Everything in a starter engagement
- Dedicated team assembled for your stack
- Architecture planning before development starts
- Ongoing support, not just a handoff
Ongoing partnership
Existing team augmentation, architecture consulting, or long-term maintenance and support.
- Experienced engineers joining your team from day one
- Architecture and infrastructure consulting
- Flexible retainer or time-and-materials arrangement
- Free consultation continues even after the contract ends
Every quote comes down to six things
Scope
How much surface area the project actually covers
Timeline
Standard delivery vs. a compressed schedule
Complexity
Domain logic, compliance needs, or unusual scale requirements
Infrastructure
New cloud setup, migration, or working inside an existing one
Integrations
Third-party APIs, payment systems, or legacy systems to connect to
Support
One-time delivery vs. an ongoing maintenance relationship
Paid in three milestones, not all upfront
Structured so the risk isn't all on you — a meaningful share stays with us until the project is actually live and working.
Project kickoff
Due at signing, before development starts — covers discovery, architecture, and the first build phase.
UAT, before going live
Due once the build is ready for your review and user acceptance testing, before it ships to production.
After launch
Held back until after go-live — our incentive to make sure it actually works for you, not just get paid and move on.
2 months of free support after launch
Every project includes 2 months of free post-launch support — bug fixes and stability issues on what we built. New requirements or additional development after that are scoped and billed separately, at the same budget-first pricing as the original project.
A startup consultancy vs. a large agency
Neither is automatically right for every project — this is just where the trade-offs actually sit.
| Feature | KineticNucleus | Large Agency |
|---|---|---|
| Direct communication with engineers | ||
| Senior engineers only, no intern bench | ||
| Budget-first, conversation-based pricing | ||
| Architecture planned before development | Sometimes | |
| Sales team in the loop | ||
| Free consultation after contract ends | ||
| Overhead you're paying for | Low | High |
If you've worked with an agency before that delivered and then disappeared: if you're a past client of ours, that doesn't happen here. We stay reachable for free consultation and advice even after a support contract ends.
