Pricing for Custom Apps & AI Solutions.
Predictable, outcome-based pricing for custom software, web & mobile applications, and enterprise AI systems. From fixed-scope builds to managed operational contracts, you pay strictly for what delivers value.
Some of the businesses we build and operate for
Engagement & Deployment Models
Flexible delivery governance covering custom software applications (web & mobile) and enterprise AI capabilities.
Build & Handover
Full Code & IP Ownership
We architect and build your app or AI solution, hand over complete source code and documentation, and train your internal team.
- Fixed-fee milestone delivery with clear scope boundaries
- 100% custom source code, design assets & IP ownership
- Production deployment (App Stores, AWS/Azure/GCP)
- 30-day post-delivery warranty & handover support
- Zero vendor lock-in or recurring ScaleMind license fees
Build & Maintain
Ongoing Engineering Partnership
We build your application or AI system and provide ongoing maintenance, security updates, model calibration, and minor feature iterations.
- Initial delivery milestone + predictable monthly engineering retainer
- Continuous OS/dependency updates & security patching
- Proactive monitoring, bug fixes & model re-calibration
- Guaranteed priority support response SLA
- Quarterly roadmap planning & iterative feature additions
Full Service Platform
Fully Managed Operations
Complete end-to-end management of your custom application and AI infrastructure, hosting, security compliance, and continuous optimization.
- All-inclusive monthly operational investment
- Sovereign UK/EU cloud hosting & infrastructure managed
- 24/7 proactive system monitoring & incident recovery
- Continuous UI/UX refinements & feature enhancements
- Guaranteed 99.9% uptime SLA under ISO 27001 governance
Capabilities We Build & Price
Whether you need a custom software application, an AI capability, or an integrated full-stack system, we scope fixed-milestone pricing around real operational deliverables.
Custom App Development
Operational portals, workforce systems, field tools, native iOS/Android apps, and multi-platform web applications.
AI & Workflow Automation
Copilots, document intelligence, intelligent triaging, automated evidence collection, and custom LLM fine-tuning.
Full-Stack Systems with Embedded AI
End-to-end bespoke software platforms combining modern web/mobile UIs with integrated AI engines and legacy ERP/CRM connectors.
What Shapes Your Proposal Scope
We structure transparent, fixed-scope proposals tailored directly to these core parameters.
User Scale & Field Access
Number of active users, role-based access levels, mobile field workers, and concurrent usage volume.
App & AI Complexity
Native device features (offline mode, camera/GPS), custom UI/UX design, and AI model orchestration depth.
System Integration Depth
Connectors required for existing legacy software, ERPs, CRMs, rota systems, and data warehouses.
SLA & Governance Scope
Sovereign hosting requirements, dedicated cloud isolation, app store compliance, and custom SLAs.
In-House vs. ScaleMind Delivery
Building AI systems in-house requires recruiting specialized talent and managing long technical cycles. We de-risk the build.
In-House Build Approach
- 6 to 12 months development cycle to build custom apps
- High recruitment costs for mobile, web & AI specialists
- Unpredictable technical debt & ongoing app maintenance burden
- Complex app security, data privacy & compliance overhead
ScaleMind Delivery Model
Recommended Route- 3 to 6 weeks discovery to working application increment
- Immediate access to senior product, mobile & AI architects
- Fixed milestone delivery & clear ongoing maintenance retainers
- ISO 27001 & ISO 42001 certified development governance built in
Proven Operational ROI Impact
Typical production metrics achieved by teams deploying ScaleMind AI capabilities.
Manual Task Reduction
Automate repetitive operational steps across mobile and web workflows.
Operational Cost Savings
Lower cost per transaction with custom software built around your exact rules.
Faster Time to Launch
Go live in weeks rather than quarters using our modular application foundations.
Guaranteed Availability
Production SLA and continuous system monitoring under ISO certified processes.
Flexible Commercial Terms
Commercial structures aligned to your procurement process and budget requirements.
Milestone-Based App & AI Delivery
Structured payments tied to agreed discovery, prototype design, build increments, and release milestones.
Predictable Engineering Retainer
Fixed monthly fees covering ongoing application updates, OS compatibility, and continuous feature additions.
Managed Enterprise Platform
All-inclusive annual or monthly operational plans combining app hosting, AI infrastructure, and SLAs.
Certified where it counts
We hold formal certifications for both information security and the responsible management of AI systems, addressing the two concerns procurement and risk teams most often ask about.
ISO/IEC 27001
The international standard for information security management. Independently audited controls across how we handle access, hosting, encryption, and supplier risk.
ISO/IEC 42001
The AI Management System standard covering how AI is designed, tested, monitored, and governed. Evidence of responsible AI practice, not just a policy page.
What's included every time
Fixed-scope governance, complete IP protection, and ISO 27001 certified delivery standards included with every engagement.
Common Investment Questions
How long does it take to receive a detailed proposal?
Following a 30-minute working session, we deliver a scoped technical proposal, architecture breakdown, and fixed investment schedule within 2 business days.
Are there any hidden recurring platform or license fees?
No. For Build & Handover models, you own 100% of the code and pay zero ongoing ScaleMind license fees. Retainers and managed SLAs are completely transparent.
Can we transition between engagement models later?
Yes. You can start with a Build & Handover milestone engagement and transition to Build & Maintain or a Full Service SLA whenever operational needs evolve.
How are API and cloud infrastructure costs handled?
Infrastructure and model usage costs are passed through directly without markup, or hosted within your existing cloud tenant (AWS, Azure, GCP).
