Platformz hourly packages

(2025 Standard Rates)

Platformz offers flexible retainer options for clients who want ongoing access to our development, design, and integration teams.

Each tier includes access to all disciplines — front-end, back-end, UI/UX, QA, DevOps, and project management — under a unified billing rate.

"Each plan includes access to our full team — developers, UI/UX, QA, PM, and technical architects. All work is billed from your monthly hour block at the flat tier rate."

Three Build Levels (Realistic Project Ranges)

Every Platformz build includes product strategy, architecture, UI/UX, front-end, back-end, QA, DevOps, and project management under a single team. The difference between levels is complexity, number of portals, and depth of automation/integrations.
