The price is agreed in writing.
Then it doesn't move.

What moves the price within a band: number of tools being replaced, data migration complexity, how many user roles you need, and integrations with anything you're keeping (payment processors, accounting, etc.). All of it is itemized in the written quote, so you see exactly what each module costs before deciding.

What "you own the code" actually includes

• The full source code repository, transferred to an account you control, not a license to use our code.
• Your data in your database, hosted on infrastructure in your name, exportable at any time.
• Documentation: setup, architecture, and admin docs written so any competent developer can maintain the system without us.
• Deployment access: the hosting account, domain, and credentials are yours from day one.
• Full IP assignment in the contract: not "perpetual license," ownership. This is written into every agreement.

What it doesn't include: third-party costs stay third-party: hosting (typically a few dollars a month, paid by you directly, no markup), a domain name, and any external services you choose to keep (e.g., a payment processor's transaction fees). We name these in the quote so there are zero surprise line items.

• Fixed quote: scope surprises are our cost, not yours. The price changes only if you change the scope, in writing, both ways.
• Milestone payments: you pay in stages and see a working prototype at the first milestone. If it isn't what we specced, you don't pay for that milestone.
• Parallel run: your current tools stay live until the new system has proven itself in real operation. You cancel subscriptions last, not first.
• Exit plan: because you own the code, data, docs, and hosting, leaving us is a decision, not a project. No exit fees, no data ransom, ever.

When we'll tell you not to build

If you're running on fewer than three tools, spending under $100 a month on subscriptions, or your processes change completely every quarter, custom software probably isn't worth it yet, and we'll say so on the audit call. We'd rather lose a project than build you something you don't need.

How much does a custom business system cost?

Most BIZMYZE projects fall into three bands: a Starter Module under $3k delivered in 2-3 weeks, a Full System from $3k to $10k delivered in 6-10 weeks, and a Business OS from $10k, scoped module by module. Every build gets a fixed written quote before any work starts.

Are there monthly fees after launch?

There is no subscription for your own software. You pay third-party costs directly, such as hosting at a few dollars a month and your domain name, with no markup. Support plans are optional, and maintenance fees can apply on certain plans.

Do I own the code?

Yes. The full source code repository is transferred to an account you control, your data lives in a database hosted in your name, and full IP assignment is written into the contract. You also get documentation so any competent developer can maintain the system.

How long does a build take?

A Starter Module ships in 2-3 weeks and a Full System in 6-10 weeks. A Business OS is scoped together. You see a working prototype at the first milestone, and your current tools stay live until the new system has proven itself.

What if the project costs more than expected?

It cannot, unless you change the scope. The quote is fixed and the price moves only if the scope changes in writing, both ways. You pay in milestones, and if a milestone is not what was specced, you do not pay for it.

What happens if we stop working with BIZMYZE?

Nothing breaks. You own the code, data, documentation and hosting, so leaving is a decision, not a project. There are no exit fees and no data held back.

When is custom software not worth it?

If you run on fewer than three tools, spend under $100 a month on subscriptions, or your processes change completely every quarter, custom software probably is not worth it yet. BIZMYZE will say so on the free audit call.
