Reference · Pricing

Bands, not estimates.

Every Toledo Apps build sits in a defined price band, set during discovery and locked in writing before code. The bands below mirror our internal rate card — no surprises, no slow-creep change orders.

Discovery
$750–$15K
Build
$15K–$750K+
Care
$750+/mo
01 / Discovery

Start here. Always.

Every engagement begins with a paid discovery. Output is a written scope, a fixed-band quote, and a recommended path. 50% of the discovery fee is credited toward the project deposit if you proceed within 30 days.

02 / Build

Four shapes of build.

Every band below is the *project* total, not a monthly figure. The discovery output names which band applies and locks the number.

03 / Care

Maintenance & retainers.

40 hrs dev · monthly

04 / How it works

Six rules we live by.

Pricing is a contract, not a negotiation. Here's the floor:

01
No quote without discovery

Bands first, numbers second.

We won't price a build off a Zoom call. Every engagement starts with paid discovery — even small ones get a $750 Fit Check.

Minimum$750
02
Fixed band, not hourly

You know the ceiling before code.

The quote is a fixed band. We absorb overruns inside the band. If scope changes materially, we re-scope in writing — no surprise invoices.

Variancenone mid-build
03
50% credit if you proceed

Discovery fee partially refunds.

If you proceed with a build within 30 days, we credit 50% of the discovery fee against your project deposit.

Window30 days
04
You own everything

Code, repo, deploy — yours.

Domains, hosting accounts, repositories, and database access are created under your ownership before kickoff. You hold the keys from day one.

Lock-innone
05
Deposit + milestones

Pay as we ship, not upfront.

50% deposit at kickoff, the remainder split into 2–4 milestone payments tied to written deliverables. No payment without a demoable artifact.

Pattern50 / milestones
06
Senior throughout

One operator, start to finish.

The principal scopes, designs, writes foundational code, and owns the handoff. No junior leads, no offshore teams you'll never meet.
