Pricing

Fixed prices. Published. On purpose.

Almost nobody in this market shows pricing before a sales call. We think that is backwards. Here is exactly what working with Provident Logic costs, so you can qualify us before we ever talk.

Provident Logic builds a working demo free, charges $3,500 fixed for a First Build delivered in about 7 days with a $250/month care plan, and quotes larger systems fixed-price — most between $10K and $50K on demo-gated milestones. A $1,997 Systems Review is available for multi-team roadmaps. No hourly billing, no open-ended retainers.

The three-step model

Step 1

Working demo — free

A 15-minute call, then we build a working demo of your actual solution — your workflow, your kind of data — before you commit to anything. Not a slide deck, not a mockup: software you can click around and show your team. If it is not useful, you walk away owing nothing.

Step 2

First Build — $3,500 fixed, live in about 7 days

If the demo earns it, we connect the system to your real data and put it in production — typically about 7 days from your go-ahead. The price is flat, confirmed with your quote before work starts, and sits inside most managers' discretionary budget on purpose: no procurement, no committee, no waiting on a budget cycle.

The First Build includes the first 30 days of support. After that, the care plan takes over:

  • →$3,500 flat for the build — pay when you approve the demo direction
  • →First 30 days of support included
  • →$250/month after that — hosting, monitoring, fixes, and small changes
  • →Cancel the monthly anytime. The system is yours either way.

You saw the system working before you paid for it. That is what demo-first means as a payment term, not just a delivery method.

Step 3

Larger systems — fixed quotes, most $10K to $50K

When the problem is bigger than a First Build — more integrations, more teams, real-time detection, automated playbooks — the system gets a fixed price scoped before a line of code is written. You know the number before you commit. Payments are demo-gated: 40% on signing, 40% when you approve the working demo, 20% at production handoff.

For multi-team or company-wide engagements, the Systems Review + Build Roadmap ($1,997) maps everything worth building first — interviews with the people in the seats, a prioritized Opportunity Map with a fixed price on every item, and the full $1,997 credited toward your first build.

What we will never bill you for

  • ✓Hourly rates. We price the system, not our time.
  • ✓The demo. You see your solution working before you pay anything.
  • ✓Discovery theater. No months of billable meetings before software exists.
  • ✓Open-ended engagements. Every build has a fixed price and a defined handoff.
  • ✓Lock-in. You own the code, the data, and the system. Cancel the care plan anytime.
  • ✓Change-order ambushes. Scope changes get a new fixed price before work continues.

Why the price is the price

The software services market has three kinds of sellers, and they are not interchangeable. Knowing which one you are buying is most of the battle.

A $3,500 build is possible because one senior builder using modern AI-augmented development ships in days what used to take a team of six a quarter — and we pass the speed through as price and timeline instead of absorbing it as margin on hours. That is the whole model.

FAQ

Why do you publish pricing when nobody else does?
Because unpublished pricing is a sales tactic, and we would rather spend calls with people the numbers already fit. If $3,500 for a live system in a week sounds right for your problem, we should talk. If not, we just saved us both a meeting.
Is the demo really free? What's the catch?
It is free, and the catch is honest: a working demo closes better than a proposal, so we would rather invest a few days of building than weeks of selling. If the demo misses, you owe nothing and keep the clarity of having seen an approach that did not fit.
What fits in a $3,500 First Build?
A focused system for one team: a sales activity dashboard pulling from your CRM and spreadsheets, an arrival-risk alert on top of your GPS and schedule data, an automated version of the report someone assembles by hand every week. One core workflow, connected to the tools you already use, in production.
What makes a system land at $10K versus $50K?
Integration count and depth, data complexity, and workflow scope. A visibility layer over two or three sources sits near the bottom of the range. A multi-vendor system with real-time detection, automated playbooks, and audit trails sits near the top. Either way you get the fixed number before you commit.
What does the $250/month cover?
Hosting, monitoring, fixes when a vendor API changes, and a monthly allowance for small changes and tweaks. It is how the system keeps working without you needing an IT department. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice — the system is yours regardless.
What happened to the $1,997 Systems Review?
It is alive and unchanged — it is just no longer the front door. The review is built for multi-team or company-wide engagements where you want a prioritized map of everything worth building before committing to any of it. The $1,997 credits toward your first build.
Do you do hourly work or staff augmentation?
No. We price systems, not time.
