Existing client support

Support & Engineering Packs

A prepaid bank of engineering time for existing clients who need new features, strategy changes, integrations, reporting, training, or technical advice after delivery.

Custom code, feature and UI changes
Integration and automation changes
Reporting, dashboard and indicator updates
Defined strategy changes for trading software
Developer consultation and technical review
Staff training and handoff support

Starter

15 hours — $850 CAD

Pro · Best value

30 hours — $1,500 CAD

Valid for 6 months

Packs cover paid changes and additional support work. Defects covered by the applicable project warranty are handled under that warranty rather than deducted from a pack. Server health, uptime monitoring, crash restart, security patching, and API connector maintenance are not included; where offered, those are covered by the selected monthly support plan.

Larger features may require a Feature Blueprint before implementation. Small, well-defined changes can usually be estimated directly.

Discuss support

Payment & Invoicing

Projects are billed with an initial deposit, followed by milestone invoices tied to delivery phases. Retainers are billed in advance. Each proposal confirms the applicable scope, deliverables and invoicing approach before development begins.

Starting prices assume a clearly defined scope. Integrations, migrations, complex permissions, additional workflows and unusual technical requirements may increase project cost. Final scope and pricing are confirmed before development begins.
