We are expensive, and we are worth it

We charge more than most Indonesian vendors. Our kickoff pricing is public; monthly engagement scales with the system we are operating for you.

If our pricing surprises you, we are probably not your team. That is fine — there are cheaper options in Indonesia and they may serve you well. This page exists so you understand what the premium is for, and decide for yourself whether the trade is worth it.

First-party cloud only

We deploy to AWS, GCP, and Alibaba Cloud. The only exception is Cloudflare for DNS and edge — because it is the most reliable resolver and CDN available today.

We do not use cheap VPS providers, shared hosting, or unverified regional clouds. When you ask us why your system has been up for 18 months without an incident, this is the answer. Reliability compounds. The cost of the cloud bill is a rounding error against the cost of one bad outage during a launch.

If you need us to deploy onto infrastructure we do not trust, we will decline. That is covered separately in who we don’t work with.

Senior engineers only

You will not be billed for junior engineers learning on your project. Every person on your account has shipped production systems before — usually for years, usually under load.

Indonesian software vendors often hide their margin in headcount: quote a senior rate, staff with juniors, supervise loosely. We do not do this. The people on your standup are the people writing the code.

This is the second-biggest line item in our pricing. We think it is the most important one.

No headcount markups

We tell you exactly who is working on your account and what they do. If you want to verify it, attend our standup. We invite you to our internal Slack as a guest specifically so you see this in real time — see how we embed for the full picture.

There is no hidden bench, no "blended rate" that obscures who is doing the work. The line items are people, the people are named, and the people are real.

What this costs

The current numbers live on the pricing page. They are public on purpose: we would rather lose the deals we are not the right team for, before either of us spends time on a call. If the number works for you, start a conversation.
