Let’s talk

Pricing

Clear pricing before work begins.

Custom projects differ, but pricing does not have to be vague. We work at one hourly rate across three clear ways of working together, and confirm scope in writing before any work begins.

Hourly rate

ISK 17,880

per hour · excluding VAT

The same rate applies to discovery, design, development and operations. Projects differ in scope, not in price list.

All prices exclude VAT and are intended for companies and institutions.

Engagement models

Three ways in. One team.

Most projects start with discovery, move into a phased build and continue as a monthly partnership. You can start wherever it fits.

Hosting costs

Changes and new features

Larger changes go on a monthly hours plan below or the hourly rate, within an agreed scope.

Price per month, excluding VAT. Cancel monthly with one month's notice.

How we price

No work without an agreed frame

Scope first
We confirm the deliverable, what sits outside the scope, and the assumptions behind the price.
Visible usage
Time and progress are recorded so you can see how the agreed frame is being used.
Changes are approved
If new requirements affect the scope, we discuss the impact before additional work begins.
An existing product when it is enough
If one of our products solves the problem at lower cost, we recommend it instead of a custom build.

Questions

Why is there no single fixed price for custom software?

Users, integrations, data, and risk determine the scope. We therefore publish a realistic starting point and confirm the full frame after analysis, rather than quoting a low number that will not hold.

Can we begin without a complete specification?

Yes. Discovery is designed for projects where the problem is known but the right solution or scope is not yet clear.

Do we always need a custom solution?

No. Novamedia operates its own software products and specialist brands. If an existing product is the better fit, we will say so.

Can we buy a smaller piece of work?

Yes, focused work can be billed at the hourly rate. The engagement models suit projects that need a shared frame and a defined outcome.

Can you take over a system someone else built?

Yes. We start with a fixed-price technical review, then take over hosting, operations, and maintenance on the operations plan that fits the system.

Do the prices include VAT?

No. All prices on this page exclude VAT and are intended for businesses and institutions.
