Pricing Questions
What is included in the $20K web MVP price?
Everything you need to launch: architecture design, full-stack development, AI integrations where they add value, cloud deployment, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and 30 days of post-launch support. Split into 5 payments of $4K.
What is the difference between web and mobile app pricing?
Web MVPs ($20K, 5 payments) typically have more complex features, authentication flows, and admin dashboards. Mobile app MVPs ($8K, 2 payments) are focused on a single platform (iOS or Android) with a streamlined feature set. Need both? Bundle pricing available.
How does AI Voice Agent pricing work?
AI Voice Agents are $4K flat (1 payment) and delivered in 2 weeks. This includes custom voice development, CRM integration, call routing, and an analytics dashboard. Ongoing optimization available as needed.
How does fractional CTO pricing work?
Strategy work (architecture, hiring, vendor audits) is billed at $500/hour. Hands-on coding is billed at $250/hour. Monthly retainers (20+ hours) save 20%. Most founders use a mix of both.
How does pricing compare to agencies?
A typical dev agency quotes $150K-$300K for what CTO DAVE delivers at $20K. The difference is focus, modern tools, and AI-assisted development. Same quality output, fraction of the cost.
