You know exactly what you want to build. You've got wireframes, user stories, and a clear vision of the end result. Your budget is set, your timeline is locked, and you need a partner who can deliver without the guesswork. That's where Roro's Fixed Cost model comes in.
What's Fixed Cost All About?
Fixed Cost is exactly what it sounds like: a predetermined price for a well-defined scope of work. You tell us what you want built, we figure out how to build it, and we give you one price for the entire project. No hourly rates, no scope creep surprises, no "we'll need more budget" conversations halfway through.
It's like getting a quote for renovating your kitchen. You know what you want, the contractor knows what it takes to deliver, and you both agree on the price before anyone picks up a hammer.
When Does Fixed Cost Make Perfect Sense?
Clearly defined projects with set deliverablesThis model shines when you have a crystal-clear vision of what you're building. Maybe it's a mobile app with specific features, a web application with defined functionality, or an AI integration with clear parameters. The key is having detailed requirements that won't change dramatically during development.
Think of projects like building a food delivery app, creating a customer portal, or developing a fitness tracking application. The scope is defined, the features are mapped out, and everyone knows what success looks like.
Clients with a specific vision and fixed budgetSometimes you know exactly how much you can spend, and you need to work within those constraints. Fixed Cost gives you budget certainty from day one. No wondering if you'll have enough runway, no awkward conversations about unexpected costs.
This is particularly valuable for startups working with investor funds, established companies with quarterly budgets, or anyone who needs to get approval for a specific amount and stick to it.
Why This Model Works
Budget certainty is everythingYou know your total cost upfront. No surprises, no overruns, no need to go back to the CFO for more money. You can plan your finances, set expectations with stakeholders, and sleep well knowing the budget is locked in.
Clear accountabilityWith a fixed scope and fixed price, everyone knows what's expected. We're accountable for delivering exactly what was agreed upon, and you're accountable for providing clear requirements and feedback within the defined process.
Faster decision makingWhen the scope is clear and the budget is set, decisions happen faster. There's no debating whether a feature is worth the extra cost because everything is already included in the agreed-upon scope.
The Planning Phase is Critical
Fixed Cost projects live or die in the planning phase. This isn't the model for "let's figure it out as we go" projects. It requires upfront investment in detailed specifications, user stories, and technical requirements.
We'll work with you to define every feature, every integration, and every deliverable before we start coding. It might feel like a lot of planning, but it's what makes the entire project predictable and successful.
Is Fixed Cost Right for Your Project?
This model works best when you have a clear vision and the discipline to stick to it. If you're the type who likes to iterate and evolve ideas during development, this might not be your best fit. But if you know what you want and you want budget certainty, Fixed Cost could be perfect.
It's ideal for projects with defined business requirements, established user flows, and clear success metrics. Think less "let's explore possibilities" and more "let's execute this plan."
The beauty of Fixed Cost is the peace of mind it provides. You know what you're getting, you know what it costs, and you know when it'll be done. Sometimes, that certainty is worth more than the flexibility of other models.
Ready to turn your well-defined vision into reality with complete budget predictability? Fixed Cost might be exactly what your project needs.
