Solutions for Every Budget

Tech Guard works on a project basis. Every web application and engagement is scoped before we build, fixed price or a capped rate, with deliverables and milestones agreed up front and tailored to your exact scope. The ranges below are starting points. We write the actual quote against your goal.

From Idea to Live System.

Same four steps for a $3k integration as a $300k platform, just scaled to fit.

I

Discovery Call

Free 30 minute conversation. Tell us the goal, the constraints, and what success looks like. No pitch deck.

II

Scope & Estimate

We write the engagement scope: deliverables, milestones, timeline, and a fixed price or capped rate. You see it before you commit.

III

Design & Plan

Architecture, security model, integrations mapped, and the experience where it matters. Agreed before we cut code.

IV

Build & Validate

Engineering with regular check ins. Secure by design, tested as we go, and validated against the original goal.

Scoped Against Your Goal.

Most engagements fall into one of these four sizes. Use them as a ballpark. Your actual quote depends on what you need built.

$1k – $5k

Starter

Focused, single scope work

Audits, small integrations, single page tools, simple AI agents, or a tightly scoped fix. Quick to scope, fast to deliver.

Example projects

  • Custom integration between two systems
  • Single AI agent or small workflow
  • Marketing landing page with copy and design
  • IT or security audit with remediation plan
  • Data source audit or reporting cleanup
  • SEO or compliance gap assessment
Most Common
$25k – $100k

Scale

Multi phase or multi system work

Full platform builds, comprehensive migrations, multiple integrated AI and data workflows, or programs that combine engineering, data, security, and compliance.

Example projects

  • Full custom platform or web application
  • Enterprise migration with data and cutover
  • Multiple AI agents wired into core workflows
  • Data platform: warehousing, integration, and pipelines
  • Combined build, secure by design, and compliance
  • Custom software with an ongoing support window
$100k+

Enterprise

Multi quarter programs

Multi phase technology programs, organization wide migrations, dedicated team engagements. Scoped against business outcomes, not deliverables.

Example projects

  • Multi quarter custom software program
  • Org wide platform replacement and migration
  • Embedded engineering or AI team engagement
  • Org wide data platform and analytics
  • Combined IT modernization and new build

Smaller scope? Tighter budget? Tell us anyway. We will either scope a focused engagement or point you to the right resource, even if it is not us.

What You’re Paying For.

Every Tech Guard engagement is scoped, priced, and documented up front. No surprise invoices, no padded hours, no upsells buried in change orders.

Fixed price or a capped rate, your choice, agreed before work starts.

Secure by design engineering. Security is part of the build, not an upsell.

Documented architecture, code, and runbooks. You own everything we ship.

Clean handoff to your team, or ongoing support. Your call.

Direct access to the engineers, not a sales gateway.

Free discovery call

No charge to talk. We will listen, ask hard questions, and tell you what we think, even if the answer is do not build that.

Not sure of the size?

Most clients are not. That is the point of the scoping conversation. By the end, you will have a clear number to decide on.
