// PRICING HONESTY

ModernGrindTech

The dollar-for-dollar math.

Every tier has a price, hours estimate, and a percent breakdown of where your money actually goes. Dev time, infra, design, margin. No bundled line-items, no discovery-call pricing games.

// WHY THIS PAGE EXISTS

Agencies hide this. MGT posts it.

Most dev agencies quote a lump sum, book a 90-minute discovery call, and let you guess what you are buying. The final invoice is the first time you see hours broken out, and even then the math rarely adds up.

MGT posts the math before you contact anyone. The tier median price is what you pay. The hours are calibrated against 25 shipped projects. The margin is 20 percent across every tier, which is how the business stays solvent without bundling hidden fees.

The agency multiplier is a real-world ratio: 3x to 4.2x comes from actual quotes client have forwarded after comparing. If you are about to sign somewhere else, cross-reference the hourly rate before committing.

For the operating side of these numbers, the monthly financials waterfall shows what hits the MGT bank account each month and where it goes.
