What if you need to estimate time on tasks?

If required, our developers will estimate the time on every task. This is only for
information purpose, to help you manage priorities.

Actual development time can vary and we always bill based on actual time
spent, not based on estimations.

Timesheet will be provided monthly basis, or on demand.
