Our Pricing Models for Software Development
Opencollar Technologies provides transparent and effective pricing options based on your project scope, flexibility requirements, and budget constraints. We tailor our approach to deliver maximum value while ensuring cost-effectiveness.
Pricing Risks - and How We Avoid Them
What might go wrong
Problems if a client project doesn't have clear requirements
If the project doesn't have clear requirements, a call of set prices and timelines is difficult and may end up leading to frustration.
Problems if Apply to a project where requirements are very fluid
If costs are kept flexible with a rapidly changing scope that you pay over a set period of time, this may not keep costs very transparent with you.
Couldn't align with an unclear vision
If project vision and specification are in a state of constant revision, it will be difficult to commit a stable development path.
Opencollar Technologies' approach
As flexible as you need, assuring you have the best value
Our custom pricing keeps you only for the service needed. We reduce spending by avoiding over-resourcing or unrealistic scheduling.
A flat pricing structure to make your budget feel comfortable
A predictable structure that facilitates good financial planning and eliminates the surprise of budget overruns or scope shift.
We scale the team absorbing the changes and respecting your priorities
As business and project demands change, we quickly grow up or down and bring in the right specialists, keeping you within your budget constraints and delivering goals.
Pricing Models We Rely On
Choose the engagement model that best fits your project requirements and business goals.
Time and materials (T&M) model
When to use
Best for projects with evolving requirements, ongoing support, and long-term partnerships.
What we offer:
- We bill for the actual time our specialists spend working on your project, by predefined hourly, or daily, or weekly rates.
- This model gives you complete visibility, transparency, accountability, or makes iterative changes, feature adds, or long-term support feasible.
- Bill only for the time that's productively used as a T&M.
Best for:
- Projects with evolving requirements or continuous improvement needs.
- Situations where priorities can shift and client needs hands-on involvement.
- Long-term partnerships where constant adaptability needs to be required.
Fixed-price model
When to use
Ideal for projects with clearly defined scope, timelines, and deliverables.
What we offer:
- We calculate all the specifics of a software project: its specifications, time, overall scope of work, team composition, etc.
- A fixed-price contract makes sure that the client doesn't have their financial planning put in jeopardy, and is better for smaller and well-defined projects where predictability is crucial.
Best for:
- Short-term projects where requirements are stable and predictable.
- Clients who want total cost upfront with no scope changes.
- Projects with a clear, fixed outcome and a well-defined scope.
Dedicated team model
When to use
Perfect for long-term projects requiring a stable, focused team exclusively for your business.
What we offer:
- We assemble an exclusive team of specialists who work to ensure you get productive integration in your internal processes.
- This model behaves like an extension of your internal team - developers, QA experts, designers, or project managers working directly under your guidance.
- You receive complete project control, direct management of the delivery, while we take up HR, infrastructure, and operational needs.
Best for:
- Long-term projects with changing priorities and evolving functionality.
- Businesses that require hands-on involvement or direct team communication.
- Enterprises needing to supplement internal capacity without the cost or time of full-time hires.
Hybrid pricing model
When to use
Combines elements of Fixed-Price, T&M, or Dedicated Team to balance predictability with flexibility.
What we offer:
- For example, the discovery phase could be on Time & Materials to accommodate changing scope, while the actual build can be on Fixed-Price where the requirements are completely locked.
- We tailor cost model combining strengths to your project phases in custom contracts.
Best for:
- Complex projects where different stages require different pricing approaches.
- Businesses wanting cost predictability for some phases while staying flexible with others.
- Multi-phase engagements with discovery, development, deployment, and support.
