ENGAGEMENT & INVESTMENT
Choose the level of delivery you need.
Starting prices are designed for direct business clients. They are not rigid packages: final pricing depends on scope, complexity, integrations, content, design requirements, timeline and delivery ownership.

AI products & integrations — from $10,000
For AI integrations, automation systems, custom AI features, knowledge-based experiences and productionizing AI/vibe-coded applications. We scope these around the actual product and technical risk.
Ongoing development — from $2,500/month
For businesses that need continuing development, improvements, maintenance, integrations or reserved technical capacity after launch.
Need something smaller? We can scope focused fixes, audits, migrations and individual features separately. Need something much larger? We can build a dedicated delivery plan.
HOW TO THINK ABOUT THE NUMBERS
You're paying for outcomes, not hours.
The goal is not to sell a block of developer hours. We scope the problem, choose the right technology, build the solution and help you get it into production.
Good fit for fixed pricing
Defined websites, migrations, redesigns, integrations and feature builds with a clear scope and acceptance criteria.
Better fit for ongoing capacity
Product teams and businesses with changing priorities, continuous improvements, multiple systems or a long roadmap.
AI projects need discovery
AI prototypes can hide security, architecture, data, cost and production-readiness issues. We review the actual project before committing to a final scope.
We can work with what exists
You don't need to start from scratch. Existing WordPress, Shopify, custom apps and AI-built projects can be assessed and improved.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Investment questions, answered.
Are these fixed prices?
No. They are starting points for direct business clients. We confirm the scope and final investment after understanding the project.
Why is the starting price higher than a typical freelance website?
IdealUser is positioned as a professional technical partner, not a low-cost template provider. The scope can include planning, integrations, QA, analytics, production readiness and post-launch support.
Can you build a website for less?
For very small or narrowly scoped work, potentially. We can quote focused projects separately after understanding what you actually need.
Do you work with existing websites and applications?
Yes. We regularly work with existing systems, including WordPress, Shopify and custom applications, as well as AI-built prototypes.
How much does an AI product cost?
AI projects can start around $10,000, but the range varies significantly based on integrations, data, authentication, security, AI model usage and production requirements.
Do you offer monthly development support?
Yes. Ongoing development can start around $2,500/month, with larger capacity arrangements quoted around the roadmap and required involvement.
Do these prices apply to agencies?
No. These public starting points are intended for direct business engagements. Agency partnerships are priced separately based on volume, workflow, scope and the nature of the relationship.
What happens before I receive a quote?
We discuss the goal, current technology, scope, timeline and risks. For more complex work, we may recommend a discovery or technical assessment before finalizing the build.
