Four ways to work with CAM Software.
Each one starts from a problem a business has with its app. Every price is a starting point: the proposal names the scope first, and the price follows the scope. All prices are for remote work. On-site work is quoted separately and priced higher.
Pick the one that matches the problem
They are separate offers, not tiers. Each one covers the app and the backend, database, APIs and web surfaces it depends on.
You need an app built, and done right.
Build a mobile app
Discovery from $16,000. Builds from $35,000.
Discovery if your designs are not ready: requirements, designs and a plan. Then a fixed price for the build.
See how a build worksYour app keeps breaking, or has fallen behind.
Fix an existing app
Audits are $8,000.
A written verdict and a fixed quote for the fix, in 1 to 4 weeks. Then you decide whether to go ahead.
See how a fix worksYour app works, and you want to keep it that way.
Maintenance
From $10,000 a month.
A three-month minimum, then month to month: OS updates, store requirements, security, monitoring and the backend.
See what maintenance coversYour team needs someone to own the product.
Embedded Product Engineering Leadership
From $45,000 a month, for 3 to 6 months.
Product owner, scrum master and tech lead in one, hands on the code, then handed back to your team.
See the engagementStarting investment
Every price is a floor, not a menu.
Each number is where a defined scope starts. The proposal may be higher when the platforms, integrations, risk, urgency or depth of work require more capacity.
Additions are quoted as fixed prices before any work starts. Nothing is sold by the hour.
How they connect
Most work follows one of four paths
- 1.A new app: Discovery if the designs are not ready, then Build, then Maintenance once it is live.
- 2.An app that has fallen behind: an Audit, then the Fix, then Maintenance.
- 3.An app someone else built that you want looked after: an Audit, then Maintenance.
- 4.A product that needs an owner, not a project: Embedded Product Engineering Leadership.
When CAM Software is not the responsible choice
- An early experiment with no meaningful business dependency.
- An idea with no business behind it yet.
- A company whose payroll or operating stability would be threatened by the commitment.
- A search for the lowest hourly rate. CAM Software prices defined work, not casual hours.
- A standalone website with no app behind it. Web and backend work is part of the job when it serves the app.
Investment questions
What is the starting investment?
It depends on the problem. Builds start at $35,000, and Discovery, when the requirements and designs are not ready, starts at $16,000. Audits are $8,000. Maintenance starts at $10,000 a month, with a three-month minimum. Leadership engagements run three to six months and generally begin at $45,000 a month.
How is a $35,000 build different from the leadership engagement?
A build delivers one defined app against a fixed price. A leadership engagement takes ownership of a product and the decisions around it for three to six months, generally from $45,000 a month, with hands-on implementation.
Is the audit fee taken off the fix?
No. The audit is its own paid step. It tells you what you are dealing with, and then you decide whether to go ahead.
Can we hire CAM Software hourly?
No. Every offer is priced as a defined scope or outcome. Maintenance is a monthly price for a defined set of care, not hours.
Is on-site work available?
Prices are for remote work. On-site work is quoted separately and priced higher.
Tell me what the product needs.
Twenty minutes is usually enough to tell which of the four fits, or whether none of them does.
One less thing to worry about.
