Pricing
Every price and payment term.

Taking over an app
Not an offer of its own, and no extra price: three of the offers above, in order. The audit fee is credited against the sprint when you book it within 30 days of the readout, so the first two steps cost the sprint's price.

- Code and product audit, US$3,300A$4,900¥490,000: what "ready" means for your app, and a fixed price to get it there.

- Engineering retainer, US$3,700 a monthA$5,500 a month¥550,000 a month: ongoing ownership, up to 20 hours a month.
The sample audit shows the first step for a fictional app, down to the sprint it recommends.
