Our workflow is designed to adapt fast, iterate often, and guarantee you get exactly what you asked for—without surprises.
Pixeltree’s Pricing Process
We back every project with a detailed, plain‑language Statement of Work that clearly outlines scope, deliverables, timelines, and responsibilities. By defining expectations up front, we reduce ambiguity, avoid scope creep, and give you full confidence in what’s included. Throughout the project, the SOW acts as a shared reference point for both teams, keeping everyone aligned and making it easy to track progress against what was promised.
typically STARTS AT $3800Product Design
Our Product Design Package is available for a simple, fixed-price fee that covers everything you need to confidently move into development or secure funding. We define a clear scope of work that includes detailed behaviour and user flows, prioritized features, high-fidelity mockups for specified devices, an interactive prototype, and a cohesive design system. This package is production-ready, so you can seamlessly hand it off to our team at Pixeltree for development or use it as a polished proof of concept in pitches, stakeholder reviews, or fundraising conversations.
typically STARTS AT $26000MVP Launch
Our MVP Development process is designed to take you from idea to working product in roughly six weeks. Together, we refine and approve a clear MVP scope of work, then our Calgary-based team codes the features, runs thorough testing, and iterates based on your feedback. Along the way, we schedule regular demos so you can see progress in real time, make informed decisions, and stay confident in the direction. By the end of the engagement, you’ll have a launched MVP app in the hands of real users, ready for learning, growth, and next-phase investment.
By Feature
STARTS AT $882/DayFor existing applications, we can extend and enhance your product on a flexible, feature-by-feature basis. When the scope is clear and well-defined, we typically use a day rate, which gives you predictable costs for a set block of progress and makes scheduling straightforward. For evolving or uncertain work, we use an hourly rate, which is ideal when you need to explore options, respond to changing requirements, or tackle smaller, ad-hoc improvements. Both models are transparent, trackable, and designed to give you control over budget and priorities while we ship meaningful upgrades to your app.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
We work with you to define a specific scope of work. We then estimate the lift to complete this scope which may include design and/or development.
If the requirements are crystal clear, we set a fixed fee. If there are unknowns and the scope is more exploratory, we use an hourly or day rate.
Either way, we write up a Statement of Work that clearly details the outcome that the client must approve before one piece of code is written, -
No. Our entire team is based in Calgary, and all strategy, design, and development are handled in-house. That means faster communication, easier collaboration, and a team that understands your market and time zone.
-
Yes. We frequently add features or make improvements to existing applications. When the scope is clear, we’ll often use a day rate; when requirements are evolving or exploratory, an hourly rate may make more sense.
-
A day rate gives you predictable, block-based costs and is ideal when we have a well-defined set of tasks. Hourly billing is better for smaller, ad-hoc updates or when we need flexibility to explore options and iterate as we go.
-
Yes, most projects begin with an initial deposit once the Statement of Work is approved. This secures your place in our schedule and aligns both teams around the agreed scope and timelines.
-
If new requirements come up, we’ll review the impact together and update the Statement of Work, pricing, and timeline before proceeding. This keeps everything transparent and ensures you stay in control of trade-offs and priorities.
