Analysis in week 1, live after 4–12 weeks
Salaries: Western Europe, senior level, fully loaded. Project prices: our fixed-price ranges.
What you pay for which amount
Focused growth system
€5,000–15,000
4–6 weeks
A tightly scoped system with one goal: a conversion-optimized landing page with funnel and analytics, a lead capture system with qualification, or fixing the biggest revenue leaks in a Shopify store.
Lead generation & conversion systems
€15,000–30,000
6–10 weeks
Multi-stage systems: outbound automation with AI qualification, a complete conversion overhaul for a store including checkout, or a sales dashboard that consolidates multiple data sources.
Full product builds
€30,000–60,000+
10–16 weeks
Custom software as a product: a SaaS MVP, a platform with user management and billing, or a growth system combining several building blocks. Open-ended at the top — scope determines price.
When hiring still makes sense
When the work never ends: weekly changes, close work with product and engineering, a backlog for more than twelve months. Then hire. Often the best order is both: we build the system, and your new hire takes it over afterwards.
Questions about cost
What does a GTM team cost per month?
In-house, plan on roughly €11,000 to €15,000 fully loaded per senior role per month. Externally you pay no monthly fee but a fixed price per project. Ongoing support is optional and quoted separately.
Why is external cheaper?
You pay for a result, without recruiting, ramp-up or the risk of a bad hire. Our senior engineers also work with AI agents and a team in Istanbul, which lowers the effort per system.
What does the fixed price include?
The scope agreed in writing, including documentation and handover. If the scope changes, we re-quote before any extra cost arises.
