Why we Bill Hourly
Brainchild Engineering's work is provided on an hourly basis. We've experimented with many pricing models over the years and found that an hourly model creates the flexibility and security that innovative product development demands.
Creating a truly great product is not a rigid checklist or something that can be perfectly predicted in advance, but a more nuanced process that requires nimbleness, fluidity, and continual refinement. It's a balance between process and freedom.
