About this service
Many businesses receive two or three proposals from software houses that differ wildly in price and approach, or wonder whether an existing product would do the job. We compare the options on cost over three years, risk, fit and lock-in, and give you a clear recommendation.
What we compare
- Fit to your requirements, including what each option leaves out
- Total cost over three years: licences, build, hosting, maintenance
- Vendor and lock-in risk, data ownership and exit options
- For proposals: missing scope, unrealistic timelines, contract red flags (technical, not legal)
We don’t take commissions from vendors. If we have any commercial relationship with an option being considered, we tell you before we start.

Questions about Build-vs-buy & vendor proposal review
Will you talk to the vendors?
If you want us to, yes — we can join a clarification call with each vendor as your technical adviser.
When does the delivery time start?
When we receive your brief, after payment. Delivery times count working days (Monday to Saturday). If we need something from you, the clock pauses until we have it.
How do revisions work?
Each package includes the revision rounds shown. When we deliver, you accept the work or request a revision from your project page. If you don’t respond within 7 days the delivery is accepted automatically — we remind you 2 days before.
What if none of the packages fit?
Request a custom plan. We’ll send a written quote with the scope, price, timeline and milestones. There’s no obligation — you only pay once you accept it.
How do I pay, and can I get a refund?
Pay securely with Raast QR, JazzCash or Easypaisa — you approve the payment in your own app and get a receipt straight away. If you cancel before work starts you get a full refund; after that, our Refund Policy explains how work in progress is handled.
Need something different?
Tell us what you need. We’ll reply with a written quote — scope, price, timeline and milestones — and you only pay once you accept it.
