Pricing

Published prices. Fixed quotes. No surprises.

Most agencies make you ask. We publish the floor for every service so you can budget before the first call — and once your scope is written, the number cannot move.

50% upfront Invoiced when you sign, due within 7 days. Work begins the day it clears.
50% on handover Due at handover, before the production launch. No line items you have not seen.
30-day warranty Anything not behaving as the agreement describes is fixed free for 30 days.
You own it Source, designs, content and credentials transfer in full on final payment.

What things actually cost

Published, so you can budget before you talk to us. These are floors, not averages — your written scope determines the final figure, and that figure is fixed.

How you pay

Bank transfer or mobile money

Invoices are issued in Tanzanian shillings by default and in US dollars on request. Your portal shows every invoice, what has been received against it, and what remains. Bank and mobile money details appear on the invoice itself.

Bank transfer

CRDB and NMB accounts. Details on your invoice.

Mobile money

M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa and Airtel Money accepted.

The full detail — due dates, late payment, currency, refunds and what happens if a project is paused — is set out in the payment terms.

Straight answers

Questions we are asked most

It covers the team's time on the first half of the work and it commits both sides. Once the deposit clears, your slot in the schedule is held and work starts. It is the standard arrangement in this industry and it is set out in full in our payment terms.
It does not. On a fixed-price engagement we carry the estimate risk; if the work takes longer than we thought, that is our problem, not your invoice. The only thing that changes the price is a change to the scope that you approve in writing.
For engagements above TZS 8,000,000 we can split the balance into milestone payments. Ask during the proposal stage and it goes into your agreement.
No. Third-party costs such as domains, app store developer accounts, paid APIs and stock imagery are listed separately in your quote and passed on at exactly what they cost us.
Yes, on the terms in our refund policy. In short: before work starts, the deposit is refundable less any costs already incurred; after work starts, you pay for what has been delivered and we release it to you.
