Why our pricing is on the page
Most agencies hide their prices. We publish every SKU. Here's why we made that bet, what we lose, and what we gain.

The pitch is simple
Most agencies hide their prices behind a "let's get on a call." We don't. Every SKU on hayaiti.com has a number, a scope, and a calendar-day timeline next to it. You can decide whether we're the right fit before you ever talk to us.
This post is about why.
Discovery calls are a tax
A typical agency engagement starts with a discovery call. Then a scoping call. Then a stakeholder call. Then a "rough estimate." Then a revised estimate after you push back on the rough one. By the time anyone has written a line of code, you've spent four hours on calls and two weeks on email.
We've been on both sides of this. As clients, we hated it. As founders of a brand-new agency, we'd rather spend that time shipping.
So we made a different bet: publish the prices, publish the scope, publish the timeline. Let the page do the qualifying.
What we lose
We lose some clients who only buy after a long sales cycle. That's fine — we're not the right fit for those engagements. We don't have enterprise procurement, master service agreements, or a salesperson on retainer. We have engineers and a delivery calendar.
We also lose the ability to charge wildly different prices to different clients for the same work. That's not a bug. We think same-price-same- work is just honest.
What we gain
- Faster sales cycles. The model is built so a buyer can book within 48 hours of finding us, because there's nothing left to negotiate.
- Pre-qualified leads. People who can't afford the price don't fill out the form. People who can, do.
- Better delivery. We sized the SKUs around what we can actually ship in the listed timeline. Fixed price means we don't get rewarded for stretching scope.
What's on the page
- Web SKUs from $2,995 (landing page · 5 days) to $19,995 (web app MVP · 30 days)
- Software SKUs from $2,495 (automation script · 7 days) to $14,995 (custom API · 28 days)
- iOS apps from $6,995 (TestFlight prototype · 14 days) to $34,995 (full App Store app · 45 days)
- Cybersecurity from $0 (free 24h vuln scan) to $14,995 (manual pentest engagement · 21 days)
- Subscriptions for ongoing work: $5,995/mo (embedded engineer) and $11,995/mo (embedded pod)
The numbers are real. The scopes are real. The timelines are calendar days. If the price moves, it's because the scope moved — and we'll write down what changed and why.
Why we wrote this
If you're reading this, you're probably evaluating us. We'd rather you know why we work the way we do, in our own words, before you book.
If "pricing on the page" sounds like a marketing line, fair. The proof is in the rest of the work — the audits we ship in 24 hours, the apps we ship in 45 days, and the case studies we'll publish as we earn them.
We're new. We're honest about that. The pricing is the first promise we keep.

The bounded SKU model: why we don't sell time
Most engineering vendors sell hours. We sell deliverables on a calendar. The unit of accountability is different — and it changes both the vendor incentives and the buying experience.
When NOT to pick Hayaiti
Most agency homepages claim to be the right fit for everyone. We're not. Here's a concrete list of when to pick someone else — written by us, for our own site.
The case against discovery calls
Discovery calls are a tax on both sides. Here's how we replaced them with a spec, a price, and a 24-hour audit.
