AI Integration

Models put behind a product feature your users already use — extraction, classification, search and summarisation, measured against an evaluation set built from your own data.

Nearshore lean delivery

Web, mobile and platform work delivered by a small senior team in Romania. A bounded first slice at a fixed price, then two-week cycles for as long as they earn their place.

01

Bounded first slice

From €9,500

Four to six weeks, scoped in writing, one fixed number. You can stop after it with something that runs in production.

02

Dedicated team, per month

From €7,000

Three to five senior engineers with stated allocations, named on the contract. Two-week cycles, staging URL at the end of each.

03

Senior engineer day rate

€450

For audits, rescues and short pieces of specialist work. No junior padding, no bench time billed.

The nearshore lean delivery model explains how the slices are scoped, and the 42-check supplier checklist is what we would want you to hold us to.

How we price, and why it is written down

Four rules we apply to every quote. They are the reason our first number and our last number are usually the same number.

01

Published, not negotiated on the call

These are the numbers we open with. They do not move because you asked politely or because it is the end of a quarter.

02

Fixed price on bounded scope

We quote a fixed number for work we can describe in writing. Where scope genuinely cannot be bounded yet, we say so and sell a short slice to bound it.

03

Your accounts, billed at cost

Cloud, model and telephony usage sits in your own accounts at provider pricing. We never resell infrastructure at a markup.

04

No lock-in clauses

Repositories, pipelines and cloud accounts are in your name from day one. Monthly work stops with thirty days' notice.

What people ask about the numbers

If a question here is not answered honestly enough, ask it on the call and we will answer it the same way.

Are these prices real, or a starting point for negotiation?

They are real. A six-week Agentic AI pilot is €2,400 including setup, a live production agent site is €890 a month with setup from €4,500, and multi-site groups start at €3,600 a month. AI Integration starts with a €3,900 three-week feasibility slice, and a bounded delivery slice starts at €9,500. Everything is confirmed in a written quote after a scoping call.

What is not included in the price?

Cloud hosting, model tokens, telephony minutes and third-party licences. Those sit in your own accounts and you pay the provider directly at their price — we never add a margin to them.

Why is there a paid pilot instead of a free proof of concept?

Free proofs of concept are built to demo, not to survive. A paid pilot runs on your real data, with your rules and a measured containment and cost report, so the go / no-go at the end is based on evidence rather than a slide.

Do you charge for scoping?

No. The scoping call and the written scope with a fixed price that follows it are free. You can take that document to another supplier and we will not be offended.

What happens if the fixed-price slice runs over?

We absorb it. That is what fixed price means. If you change the scope mid-slice we re-quote in writing before doing the work, and you decide whether it is worth it.

Can you work against a smaller budget?

Sometimes — by cutting scope, never by cutting seniority. If a budget cannot buy a useful outcome we will say that on the first call rather than take the work and disappoint you six weeks later.

Tell us what you’re trying to ship

A first call is thirty minutes and costs nothing. Bring the problem, not a spec — working out what to build is the part we are good at.

Or email office@symphonyapps.ro. We reply within one business day, in English or Romanian.
