Deployment pricing
Get it live on your account.
Deployment is a one-time engineering fee. Cloudflare and AWS bill your ongoing usage separately.
Deployment
Two ways to put something live.
A static site and an application with its own servers do not take the same work to deploy, so they do not cost the same to deploy. Both fees are ours; what the platform bills for running it is yours.
-
Static & serverless deployment
Cloudflare Pages, Workers or similar
For sites and applications that do not need servers of their own.
Our deployment fee From MVR 2,000
Starting scope: One existing static site deployed to one Cloudflare environment with basic build, domain, TLS and redirect configuration.
Workers, data services, advanced routing, migrations, CI/CD and multiple environments are quoted on requirements.
Platform charges Usually free to very cheap at small scale, billed by the platform to your account.
What the work involves
- Project and build configuration
- Domain and DNS setup
- TLS and redirects
- Deploy from your repository
- Basic caching and headers
-
Infrastructure-heavy deployment
AWS or similar
For applications that need servers, private networking and databases of their own.
Our deployment fee From MVR 5,000
Starting scope: One existing application deployed to a simple AWS environment with basic compute, access and handover configuration.
Networking, databases, automation, monitoring, hardening, migrations and multiple environments increase the scope.
Platform charges Billed by AWS to your account, and it depends entirely on what the application does and how much it is used.
What the work involves
- Compute and networking
- IAM roles and policies
- Databases and backups
- VPCs, subnets and security groups
- Load balancing and certificates
- Deployment automation
- Monitoring and alerts
The fee is for designing and building the infrastructure, and it depends on how complicated that infrastructure is. It is not your AWS bill, and we never add a margin to one.
Third-party infrastructure and usage charges are billed to you by the provider, separately.
What you pay somebody else
We charge for engineering. Not for standing in front of your bills.
Infrastructure is not disguised as development revenue here. These costs are yours, on your accounts, at the provider's price.
-
Domain
Paid to your registrar
Your domain is paid separately because the price depends on the extension you choose — .com, .mv, .org and the rest are not priced the same, and registrars differ.
We do not quote a domain price on this page, because it would be wrong by the time you read it. We will tell you what your choice costs when you choose it.
-
Hosting & cloud
Usage-dependent
A static site and a busy application do not have the same infrastructure requirements, so they cannot have the same hosting price. You pay the platform for what you use.
We build and manage it. If AWS bills you MVR 400 in a month, that is what it cost — we do not turn it into MVR 1,200 and call it hosting.
-
Payment providers
Provider fees apply
Gateway approval, transaction fees and settlement are between you and the provider. Integrating the gateway is our work; the fees never are.
-
AI & API usage
Paid to the provider
Models are billed by usage. You hold the provider account and pay their rates directly, so you can see exactly what the feature costs to run.
-
Other third-party services
Paid to the provider
SMS gateways, mapping, email delivery, business email, paid libraries. Where a build needs one, we say so before it starts.
You own your infrastructure. We build and manage it for you.
Wherever the provider allows it, the domain, the Cloudflare account, the AWS account, the payment provider and the AI provider are registered to you. We get access to do the work. If you ever stop working with us, none of it has to move.
- Your domain. Registered to you, transferable, never held hostage.
- Your cloud accounts. Cloudflare and AWS in your name, billed to you at cost.
- Your provider accounts. Payments and AI providers are yours, with their own keys.
- Your code. Handed over with the project. No part of the build is withheld.
