Advice

Transparent pricing, independent advice

Four fixed tiers, from a first scan to ongoing guidance. No hidden vendor commission, you pay only us, for advice that is solely in your interest.

During our launch, the first selection scans are free

We are building a track record with the first sign-ups. Request a free selection scan below, no obligations.

Technical leadership and architecture

Alongside independent selection advice, we also provide technical leadership and architecture work, for companies that want to go beyond choosing a package. This builds directly on the same 15+ years of hands-on experience as the rest of this platform, see about us.

CTO on demand

Technical leadership on demand or for a fixed number of days per month: technology strategy, leading your development team, vendor management, and hands-on input or building where needed.

  • Technology strategy and roadmap definition
  • Leading an internal or external development team
  • Vendor management and a second opinion on quotes
  • Hands-on involvement where needed, not a purely advisory role

Tailored architecture

An independent view of your technical architecture: from a review of an existing system to full solution design for a new project.

  • Architecture review of existing systems
  • Solution design for new projects
  • Substantiated technology choices, no vendor preference
  • Integration and migration paths between old and new systems

Rate: from 175 euros per hour excluding VAT, monthly arrangements on request.

Transparency for e-commerce, CMS and custom work

For most categories, we act purely as advisors, not builders. E-commerce, CMS and the "Custom apps & software" category are different: we still actively build websites, webshops, headless solutions and custom apps here. That means it is possible, during a selection scan in one of these categories, that we are ourselves a suitable build partner for the implementation. This has no effect on the independence of the selection advice itself, see our independence charter (Dutch), but we mention it explicitly so it is clear to you upfront. Read more on about us.

How we work

Every project starts with a selection scan, even if you already know you want a full selection process. That way we make sure the approach fits your situation before agreeing on a fixed fee.

We work with a maximum of two to three concurrent projects. That sometimes means a short wait before we can start, but it does guarantee that every project gets personal attention from someone who has spent 15+ years building business software themselves. Read more on about us.

Frequently asked questions

Why are the first selection scans free?+

We are deliberately building a track record first and learning what a good request looks like, before rolling out the paid tiers. See also our independence charter (Dutch) for the full explanation of our business model.

How many projects can you handle at once?+

Deliberately no more than two to three concurrent projects, so every project gets personal attention from an advisor with actual business software experience, instead of an automated process.

What if I only have a small question, not a full project?+

Request a free selection scan, or ask your question via the contact form. Not every question needs a full paid project.

Will these prices ever change?+

Possibly, as we complete more projects. Prices on this page are current and indicative; we always confirm the final rate for your project before it starts.
