Transparent Pricing

Clear scope.
Considered pricing.

Priced in USD, quoted before a line of code is written, broken into milestones you can check against. You know exactly what you're paying and when — before you commit a single dollar.

Payment structure: 40% to start · 30% at mid-point demo · 30% on delivery

How payments work

Milestone-based payments protect you and filter out clients who aren't serious. We never start work at 0% — and you never pay the final 30% until you're happy with the system.

40%

Deposit to start

Paid before we write a line of code. Confirms your commitment. Funds our initial sprint.

30%

At mid-point demo

Paid when you see and approve the working mid-point system — typically halfway through the build.

30%

On delivery

Final payment before we hand over source code, documentation, and credentials. Not before you're satisfied.

SME payment flexibility: For Starter-tier clients who can't meet the 40% upfront, we offer 50% deposit + 2 monthly instalments. Ask about this on the discovery call.

Monthly Retainers

Software isn't a fridge.

No Fine Print

What every project comes with

Whatever tier you pick, these aren't add-ons — they're how we work. This is the difference between a freelancer and a studio that's still around to pick up the phone next year.

Fixed price, in writing

You get a written quote before any code is touched. No surprise invoices halfway through.

Milestone payments

Split 40/30/30. You never pay for work you haven't seen delivered.

You own the source code

On final payment, full code, database, and hosting credentials — no licensing lock-in, ever.

Direct WhatsApp support

No ticket queue. You message us, we respond — during build and after launch.

Common Questions

Things people ask before signing

"Software is too expensive for a business like ours."

Reframe it: how much stock did you lose last quarter? How many hours per week does your team spend on manual work? If those numbers add up to more than US$500/month, the system typically pays for itself within months. The Starter tier starts at US$1,500 — and we split payments where needed.

"We were burned by a developer who disappeared."

Our Software Rescue service helps businesses recover stalled or unreliable systems. That's why the Rescue offer exists — and why we insist on milestone payments (40/30/30), a signed contract, and a code handover guarantee. You can phone our references before signing anything.

"We'll just use Excel / an off-the-shelf app."

Spreadsheets and off-the-shelf software can be the right choice. Custom development becomes useful when you need connected workflows, specific permissions, integrations, or reporting that your current tools cannot provide. We assess those gaps before recommending a build.

"Let me think about it." (The stall)

Fair — but let's not leave it as a loose thread. Ask us to build you a free 1-page scope with exact pricing. We'll send it within 48 hours. You can review it at your own pace and decide without any pressure. Book a 20-minute call and we'll do the scope from there.

"Do I really own the code at the end?"

100%. On final payment, you receive the complete source code, database exports, hosting credentials, and documentation. No ongoing licensing fee. No dependency on us to keep it running. You can take it to any developer in the world if you choose to.

"How do I know you'll still be around in 2 years?"

Because you own the code from day one — it doesn't matter. Even if Neocube shut tomorrow, your system keeps running and any developer can maintain it. That's the point of full source code ownership. We're also based in Harare with real clients — not an anonymous online service.
