Pricing
Setting prices is a challenge, so we let you decide how much you value our projects.
Pay what you want
Here there are no price tiers or complicated add-ons. Instead there are lean products with a single price that you set yourself.
We do not pre-fill the pricing form with any particular value to ensure that we [[About#Play fair|play fair]], however we do show an average of those who have paid
Assigning a value
Our products should do one, or both, of the following things:
- Save you time;
- Increase your revenue;
But if you don't want to think about/calculate it: $50/month.
Saving you time
If we save you more than an hour, we ask that you value that time and thank us with some of it. You can use the table below as a guide.
Average software engineer hourly rates by region:
| Region | Hourly rate (USD) |
|---|---|
| North America | $77 |
| Western Europe | $75 |
| Eastern Europe | $58 |
| Latin America | $61 |
| Asia Pacific | $28 |
| Africa | $33 |
Increasing your revenue
This is a bit harder for us to quantify, but if we can increase your revenue we would appreciate being thanked with 10% of your new revenue.
Lifetime access
Getting "lifetime" access can be a controversial point as there have been numerous examples of companies going back on their promise here.
At Kukri Labs, people willing to purchase "lifetime access" to a project is a good indicator that we can deliver you value so we set a minimum "pay what you want" price.
To price this we assign the following formula:
$50/month * 36 months = $1,800
- $50/month sets a reasonable baseline for any project.
- If you plan on using our products for more than 3 years, perhaps a lifetime purchase is worthwhile for you.
Note: Lifetime access is limited to the first 500 people to purchase
Risk of shutdown
There is of course a chance that a project may need to be shut down and we acknowledge this. However we design our projects in such a way that they can be run for a long time with a small team to mitigate this risk.
Rest assured that should any project need to be shutdown you will be able to export your data.
