Pricing Models at Opencollar Technologies - Fair, Transparent, and Flexible Charging

Fixed and Materials rates model: We work for Agile development projects with varying scopes. We deliver the client only for the actual hours or days worked, with clear reporting. We provide the best rate options for long-term client engagements, while fixed hourly rates are established based on the seniority of the engineers as well as the urgency of the project. More than 90% of Opencollar Technologies' development projects are priced using a Materials rate model.

Fixed-price model: We provide the fixed cost options for one-time consultations with a largely defined scope. For instance, if you require us to analyze your IT infrastructure or make technical POC for the technology stack, we'll provide a clear, upfront fee. This provides a cost certainty that's beneficial for budgeting for large-scale consultations.

Mixed model: Large-scale transformation projects usually involve complex consulting and development scope and some infrastructure optimization, business process re-engineering, etc. For this reason, we usually structure pricing that combines fixed-price project planning phases, and T&M approach for the iterative building of digital solutions to remain adaptable during changing organizational priorities.

Subscription-based model: We calculate a fee monthly for the general scope of work which usually involves IT infrastructure supervision, user support tickets, cybersecurity monitoring, backup administration. This subscription structure ensures you have visibility for the predictable monthly cost forecasting without surprises. We can also provide a per-ticket fee for situations like incident resolution for certain monthly volumes of support tickets to make billing transparent.

Subscription-based model: We charge a fixed monthly fee for providing a pre-agreed number of tickets per month. This model makes pricing transparent and fits perfectly for ongoing support. Per-ticket model: We calculate the cost based on the number of tickets processed and resolved within a specific period. This cost scales well when you have fluctuating support needs.

Fixed-price model: We may offer the fixed rate option for the fixed-round quality analysis tests that can be divided into predefined test scenarios. For instance, end-to-end testing of particular application release or specialized load / performance audits typically have clear deliverables and the scope of testing effort can be determined beforehand. Time and Materials model: We charge for continuous testing during the agile software development, or for regression testing during ongoing feature improvement, for more adaptive and client-responsive QA.

Fixed-price model: We charge a pre-agreed amount for complete risk analysis of web or application testing. This could involve penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, or compliance security audits (e.g., OWASP Top 10, GDPR). Time and Materials model: We assign this model to your company complete security testing work in that particular testing work is both large in scale and iterative. Our rate depends on the number of security specialist hours, the scope of the systems analyzed, and the complexity of tools used to pinpoint vulnerabilities.
