Questions?

Common questions about our pricing.

How does the payment structure work?

We use milestone-based billing. Meridian: 50% upfront, 50% on delivery. Aperture: 40%/40%/20% across build and deployment. Horizon: 33%/33%/34% across milestones.

Invoicing is available for all tiers upon request.

Are there any ongoing costs?

No.

Everything you see is the one-time fee. The only additional cost is optional monthly support, which you can add or remove anytime.

Support retainers are month-to-month with no long-term commitment.

Can I start with Meridian and upgrade later?

Absolutely. Most clients start with Meridian to fix one critical workflow, then expand to Aperture when they see results.

All systems are built to scale — your data and configurations stay intact when you upgrade.

How do I contact customer support?

Inside the app you’ll find fast chat support available 7 days a week.

Max customers get priority support with guaranteed faster response times.

What should I do if I have feedback or a complaint?

We genuinely care about feedback — good and bad.

If something feels off, slow, or confusing, tell us.

We respond to every message, and many new features come directly from user suggestions.

How do you ensure quality assurance for your services?

Every AI-generated result goes through multiple validation layers:

– static analysis

– pattern comparison

– confidence scoring

– safety guardrails

And for Max accounts, you can configure custom QA logic that matches your code style and rules.
