Indicative pricing. Nothing on this page constitutes a binding offer.

Prices are in US dollars. The Russian site carries a separate rouble price list: a list in its own right, not a conversion at today's rate.

Timelines are indicative: they count the studio's working time and depend on scope, on how fast approvals come back, and on your data being ready. The binding date is set in the contract once the brief is understood.

Tax regime: sole proprietor on НПД. No VAT; every payment is receipted.

Payment: bank transfer or card. Settlement details are issued with the invoice.

This is not a public offer

Surcharges

Published surcharges. Each is calculated against the base figure and none compounds onto another.

How payment works

Work is split into stages. A stage is paid in full before it starts — that is the deposit, and there is no separate one. Retainer support is paid monthly in advance. Exclusive rights to a stage's output pass to the client once that stage is paid.

Scope estimate

Assemble a configuration and get a range. It is an estimate, not an invoice.

Scope

Several sections and flows.

External systems: payments, CRM, messengers.
