Custom Developments

Here are our three kinds of development offers and their detailed information:

3 kinds of developments:

1 – exclusive developments:

1.1 – complete exclusivity: 300€ to 500€ per day

1.2 – 6-months exclusivity guarantee: 150€ to 300€ per day

2 – shared developments: 300€ per day

3 – non-exclusive developments (that touch the core of the software, or an existing paid module from our marketplace): 150€ per day

Explanations:

1.1 : price depends on the project duration

1.2 : for some developments, it is impossible for us to guarantee exclusivity for lifetime, because it is possible that we have to integrate these developments into the software one day. The price per day is lower, and a 6-month exclusivity guarantee is offered (we are committed to not integrate these developments before 6 months minimum)

2. : you order an add-on development and you agree to sell this module on our marketplace. You pay the total price and then you are refunded on the sales on our marketplace. Once you are refunded, the terms of our marketplace apply (40% of sales commission for you, 60% for us, and we manage the support and product updates).

3. : if your development request concerns the core of the software, or an enhancement of a paid module, it is not possible for us to offer exclusivity. The price is 150€ per day and the development is integrated into the software and then, available to all the community.
