Why nobody gives you a straight number

"It depends" isn't an answer. It's a negotiating tactic.

Why nobody gives you a straight number

"It depends" isn't an answer. It's a negotiating tactic.

Ask ten studios what your product costs and you'll get ten variations of "it depends." Scope genuinely changes price — but the less you know going in, the more room they have.

You're deciding whether to spend a meaningful chunk of your runway. You deserve real numbers first. So here's exactly how our pricing works, and what each tier gets you.

Where your money actually goes

A $40K build isn't 40,000 hours of one person typing.

A $40K build isn't 40,000 hours of one person typing.

Here's roughly how a build splits. The single biggest cost driver is scope — how many features, how many integrations, how much custom AI. That's exactly what we pin down first, so the number doesn't move on you later.

NFN Labs

We sit deliberately in between

Senior, design-led product work at rates a US studio can't match, because we're built in Chennai, not San Francisco. You're not paying for a Bay Area office — you're paying for 15 years of judgment about what to build and what to skip. That's why a $40K build with us often replaces a $120K build elsewhere.

Why phase-based instead of hourly?

Hourly pricing rewards slowness. Phase-based means we're paid for outcomes, not effort — you get a fixed number and timeline, and the risk of overruns sits with us, not you.

What if my scope is bigger than these tiers?
Can you really ship an MVP in 5–10 weeks?

What happens after launch?
Do I own the code and designs?
