What Does Value-Based Pricing Actually Mean?
Unlike traditional pricing models that are based on:
Hours worked
Team size
Tools or technologies used
…value-based pricing is determined by the benefit your business receives.
Our Platform: AI That Works Smarter (and Safer)
Unlike common coding assistants that require manual prompts, guess from vague context, or generate risky code:
Our internal platform is integrated with full project context and architecture
It automates everything from specification, architecture, and documentation to code and tests
The result: clean, consistent output ready for production - with fewer bugs and no hallucinated logic
This is why we confidently offer free bug fixing, rapid iterations, and affordable adjustments - we know the quality is there from the start.
Example:
If a custom-built system saves your company $1 million per year, and we charge $100,000 to build it, that’s a 10x return on your investment.
You’re not paying for effort - you’re paying for outcomes.
Why Value-Based Pricing Matters
1. It Aligns Everyone’s Goals
When pricing is based on business value:
We’re motivated to create high-impact solutions
You’re motivated to implement and benefit from them
Everyone wins from strong results - not just completed tasks
2. It Encourages Innovation and Efficiency
Under value-based pricing, we’re rewarded for solving problems - not dragging out delivery.
That means:
More focus on smart design
Faster turnaround times
Higher incentive to create long-term, scalable solutions
3. It Helps You Make Better Business Decisions
When you understand the value you’ll gain:
You can assess ROI clearly
You’ll know if a project is worth it before committing
You avoid hidden costs and unpredictable budgets

Want to Learn More?
If you’re interested in how value-based pricing could apply to your project - or you simply want a second opinion on your current software investment - let’s talk.
We’ll help you understand what a fair, value-driven price looks like and how to get more from your tech budget.
Most software houses charge by the hour or fixed prices per project with a predefined scope but both approaches carry significant risks for customers. With hourly rates, providers have little incentive to finish quickly and may drain your budget without delivering meaningful results. With fixed prices, you can find the solution doesn't fully cover your needs, and change requests can easily double both cost and time.
At Solarte, we charge customers based on the value we provide. You don’t pay for mysterious rework that doesn't change anything meaningful or for fixing bugs that shouldn't occur in the first place. Instead, you pay only for real features that help your business - features that are easy for you to define and understand.
This pricing model extends beyond initial development. We will maintain your system as long as you need it, and when your business grows and requires additional features or entirely new modules, the same model applies: you pay only for tangible benefits.
In my years in the industry, I’ve seen too many companies pay for complete rewrites after, say, three years of release, justified by a new framework version, only to have to deal with the same issues again. That’s not fair or good for your business. You deserve a partner who delivers quality from the start and provides consistent return on investment. Sure, we also update the stack and improve the existing implementation, but that’s our internal investment to be able to deliver visible changes more easily and quickly later on.
This approach requires more skills and discipline from us, but what I've learned is that this ensures implementations always maintain the right type of quality, benefiting everyone involved. This means solutions must avoid being overly simplistic, ensuring they are prepared for future extensions, but also not unnecessarily complex or over engineered to remain easily maintainable. This improves the work of programmers and brings more value for customers.
