Which pricing model costs less for your timeline?

Over 9 months, one lane of The Bench costs $45,000 and The Step-Down costs $54,000, an average of $6,000 a month. The Step-Down puts more people on the build up front, so it costs more early and less the longer the engagement runs.

Those are the defaults. Move the sliders to your own numbers.

How the math works

  1. The Bench = the monthly fee × months.
  2. The Step-Down = the build fee for the first three months, the run fee for the next three, then the support fee for every month after.
  3. Average = Step-Down total ÷ months.

What it leaves out

What you get for the money. The Step-Down buys a heavier build in the first three months. The Bench is one steady lane. Compare them on the work, not only on the total.
