Pricing FAQs
Clear answers to common questions about our billing and engagements.
How do fixed-price packages work?
Before writing any code, we collaborate with you to define exact requirements, technical architecture, and milestone deliverables. You approve a single, all-inclusive quote with milestone payments.
Why is 10Base more cost-effective than an agency?
We eliminated agency bloat (no non-technical account managers or expensive city center offices) and equipped senior software engineers with AI engineering accelerators to complete work in 10% of the time.
Who owns the code and intellectual property?
You own 100% of everything we build. All GitHub repositories, databases, scripts, API configurations, and documentation are transferred to you upon completion.
What if our requirements evolve during the build?
We run weekly sprint demos. Minor adjustments are incorporated seamlessly within sprint boundaries. For major pivot requests, we provide an upfront add-on fixed quote before proceeding.
