Pricing
Transparent pricing. Fixed fees. Fast delivery.
We are a not-for-profit, obviously, being a part of a major Canadian research university. However, our operations are not publicly funded but sustained by our friendly cost-recovery chargeout rates.
Typically, for projects <$100,000, we invoice 50% on signing, and 50% on completion. For larger projects, we establish invoice trigger points based on milestones.
All projects are fixed fee in nature; we use the hourly rates purely to calculate the cost to you. The only exception are the support services that we provide, where all efforts beyond the 10 hrs/month included in the monthly subscription is billed at the rates below.
