Pricing: websites, booking and ordering systems, apps and platforms
Our typical starting prices are $4,500 for a business website, $9,000 for an online booking system, $13,500 for an online ordering system, $27,000 for a web or mobile app and $48,000 for a multi-vendor platform. Prices are in US dollars and exclude taxes. Every project gets its own fixed written quote within 48 hours of a 15-minute call.
Who it is for: A small or mid-sized business, studio or startup that needs a custom site customers can find and contact you through, and has either no site or one built on a template it has outgrown.
Typical timeline: 2–3 weeks
What you get
Custom design drawn for your brand, no template
Up to 8 pages, for example home, about, services, case studies and contact
English first; the build is ready for more languages, including right-to-left Hebrew and Arabic, when your scope calls for them
Mobile-first responsive build, checked on common phone and desktop browsers
On-page SEO, structured data and a sitemap, so search engines and AI answer engines can read the site
Accessibility to WCAG 2.1 level AA
Contact form that delivers every enquiry to you
Analytics set up on your own account
30 days of post-launch fixes, plus handover and a training session
Not included
Paid third-party services: domain name, hosting, paid plugins and business email
Professional photography, and copywriting or translation beyond light editing of the text you supply
Pages beyond the agreed 8, additional languages, or content entry beyond the agreed pages
New features added after the scope is signed off (quoted separately before any work)
Why this price
The price is a fixed figure for senior engineering across scoping, custom design, build, SEO and content structure, and testing and launch, plus the discovery and written communication an international client needs. What it saves you is a template you cannot leave, a builder subscription paid every month for ever, and a rebuild in two years when the site cannot grow with the business.
Running costs after launch After launch you pay a domain registrar and a hosting provider directly, on accounts in your own name, or you can put hosting under VantyRex managed care, priced in your quote. There is no per-page or per-visitor fee.
Who it is for: A clinic, salon, studio, consultancy or any service business that takes appointments by phone and message today and loses time to scheduling and no-shows, and whose needs a standard scheduling subscription does not meet.
Typical timeline: 3–5 weeks
What you get
Everything in the Business website package
Availability calendar by service, staff member, resource and opening hours, with time-zone handling
Online booking with instant confirmation to the customer and to you
Reminders by email or SMS before each appointment
Cancellation and rescheduling rules that you set
Staff and admin dashboard to see, move and block bookings
English booking flow, built so further languages can be added
30 days of post-launch fixes, plus handover and training for you and your staff
Not included
SMS message credits, paid to the messaging provider
Domain name and hosting
Professional photography and copywriting
Additional languages and new features added after the scope is signed off (quoted separately before any work)
Why this price
The price is a fixed figure for senior engineering: the website work plus the availability engine, the confirmation and reminder flow, and the admin dashboard, which is where most of the extra work goes. What it saves you is the phone tag, the empty slots left by no-shows, and the bookings lost when nobody picks up. If an off-the-shelf scheduling tool already fits, we will say so on the call.
Running costs after launch After launch you pay a domain registrar and a hosting provider directly, or choose VantyRex managed care priced in your quote. SMS reminders are paid per message to the provider you choose; email reminders need no credits.
Who it is for: A restaurant, shop, bakery or producer that takes orders by phone and message and wants a store of its own, with payment and delivery or pickup handled in one place.
Typical timeline: 4–6 weeks
What you get
A custom-designed storefront, mobile-first, in English with the build ready for more languages, and up to 5 information pages
Product catalogue with categories, variants and stock status
Cart and checkout built for phones
Card-payment integration with the payment provider of your choice (for example a card processor in your market), on your own merchant account
Order dashboard to receive, update and complete orders
Order notifications to you and to the customer
Delivery and pickup time slots that you define
Invoices and receipts issued through your invoicing provider
Accessibility to WCAG 2.1 level AA, on-page SEO, 30 days of post-launch fixes, handover and training
Not included
Payment-provider fees and the merchant account itself, which are between you and your provider
Domain name, hosting and SMS message credits
Entering your catalogue beyond the first 50 products, and product photography
Tax, shipping-rate and customs rules beyond the ones agreed in the written scope, additional languages, and new features added after sign-off (quoted separately before any work)
Why this price
The price is a fixed figure for senior engineering: the catalogue, the cart and payment checkout, the order dashboard and the notifications, each tested together because an ordering system fails at the seams, plus the third-party payment and tax integrations a cross-border buyer usually needs. What it saves you is orders lost in message threads, a checkout you cannot change, and a rebuild when you outgrow a builder's shop template.
Running costs after launch After launch you pay a domain registrar and a hosting provider directly, or choose VantyRex managed care priced in your quote. Card payments carry the fees of the payment provider you chose, charged to your merchant account; SMS notifications use credits bought from the messaging provider.
Who it is for: A startup, agency or business with its own process, such as members, jobs, deliveries or inventory, that spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools no longer fit, and that needs an app its customers or staff log in to.
Typical timeline: 8–12 weeks
What you get
User accounts and roles, for example customer, staff and admin
Custom business logic written to your workflow, as set out in the written scope
Admin dashboard to manage users, content and data
A web app plus iOS and Android app builds from one codebase
English interface, built so further languages, including right-to-left Hebrew and Arabic, can be added
Push notifications where the platform supports them
Store-submission support: we prepare the builds and guide you through app-store review
Testing on iOS and Android devices before submission
30 days of post-launch fixes, plus handover and training
Not included
Developer accounts with Apple and Google, and their annual or one-time fees, which are opened in your name
Third-party services the app uses, such as hosting for your own data, SMS, maps or payment providers
Content, photography and design assets that you supply
Additional languages and new features added after the scope is signed off (quoted separately before any work)
Why this price
The price is a fixed figure for senior engineering: accounts and roles, the custom logic of your workflow, the admin dashboard, and the iOS and Android builds, all from one codebase so you pay for the app once and not twice. It also covers the discovery work that turns an idea into a written scope. What it saves you is two separate apps to maintain, and a rebuild when a no-code tool reaches its limit.
Running costs after launch After launch you pay the hosting for the app's data and any third-party services it uses, directly to those providers, or choose VantyRex managed care priced in your quote. Apple and Google charge their developer-account fees to the account in your name.
Who it is for: A founder, association or business that wants to bring many sellers or providers onto one platform, each with their own catalogue and orders, with the platform taking a commission.
Typical timeline: 12–20 weeks
What you get
Multi-vendor onboarding: application, review, approval and agreement
A vendor portal for each seller to manage profile, opening hours and orders
A catalogue per vendor, with categories and variants
Orders routed to the right vendor, with status tracking and notifications
Commission and settlement logic: your commission rules and a statement per vendor
Platform admin to manage vendors, orders, commissions and reports
Moderation tools to review and approve vendors and listings
English storefront, portals and admin, built so further languages, including right-to-left Hebrew and Arabic, can be added
30 days of post-launch fixes, plus handover and training
Not included
Third-party fees: hosting, SMS credits and payment-provider fees, paid to those providers
Legal and licensing questions about holding or paying out vendors' money in your market, which are for your lawyer and your payment provider
A native mobile app for the platform, which is quoted separately; the price covers the web product
Recruiting vendors, vendor terms drafted by your lawyer, additional languages, content and photography, and new features added after sign-off (quoted separately before any work)
Why this price
The price is a fixed figure for senior engineering: onboarding, a portal for vendors, a catalogue per vendor, order routing, the commission and settlement rules, platform admin and moderation. A platform is several products that have to agree with each other. What it saves you is stitching together tools that do not talk to each other, and a rebuild when the stitching gives way.
Running costs after launch After launch you pay hosting and any third-party services directly to those providers, or choose VantyRex managed care priced in your quote. Payment-provider fees depend on the provider you choose and are charged to your account with them. The platform's commission is yours to set and keep.
Your project gets its own fixed written quote within 48 hours.
A fixed price, in writing
There is no hourly meter. The quote lists what will be delivered, the milestones and one price, and once you agree to it in writing that price does not move.
If you ask for something outside the written scope, we do not absorb it quietly and we do not bill it quietly. We write a separate quote with its price and its effect on the schedule, before any work starts, and you decide whether to add it.
Each package price is built from an estimate of the senior engineering the scope needs. If you are comparing it with a lower quote, compare four things: who writes the code, what the written scope excludes, how fast a question gets answered in your working day, and whose name the accounts are registered in. We answer all four in writing before you sign.
Senior engineers only, and a working day that overlaps yours
The people who scope your project are the people who build it. We do not sell with senior engineers and hand the work to juniors. That is how we work, and it is why a quote can be fixed: the person estimating the work is the person doing it.
Compared with the cheapest offshore quotes, the price is higher because you get senior delivery and a studio you can reach in your working day.
VantyRex is based in Northern Israel (UTC+2 in winter, UTC+3 in summer). We work Sunday to Thursday, which covers most of the European working week and US East Coast mornings, so a question asked in your morning is usually answered the same day.
What stays yours
Your brand, your data and your accounts (domain, analytics, payment account) are yours and registered in your name.
Buying out the source code of your own product is an option set in the agreement. VantyRex's backend logic and infrastructure stay VantyRex's: licensed to you to run your product, never handed over, and not part of any project price or buy-out.
How milestone payments work
You sign a contract that splits the project into milestones. Each payment is tied to a milestone you can see and review, not to a date on a calendar, so you pay for work that exists.
Prices on this page exclude taxes. Whether any tax applies depends on your country, and it is stated separately on the quote and the invoice.
Proof: a platform we built and run ourselves
VantyGo (vantygo.co.il) is our own local-commerce platform. It is live on the web; card payments run in sandbox and the mobile apps are in testing, so we do not describe either as live.
It is built with React and TypeScript, Capacitor for iOS and Android, and Next.js services on AWS (Lambda, Aurora DSQL, EventBridge, SQS, CDK). It runs on the same engineering we use for client builds.
FAQ
Why not take a cheaper offshore quote?
You can, and for a simple template site it may be the right call. The trade-off is what the lower price leaves out: who actually writes the code, how clear the written scope is, how easy it is to reach the team in your working day, and what happens when the first version needs changing. Our price is higher because senior engineers do the work from scoping to launch, the scope is written down, and the price is fixed. Whether that is worth the difference depends on how costly a rebuild would be for you.
Can a freelancer do this for less?
Often, and for a simple template site that can be the right call. Compare four things, not just the price: who writes the code, what the written scope excludes, how fast a question gets answered, and whose name the domain, analytics and payment accounts are registered in. We answer all four in writing before you sign.
Are taxes included in the prices?
No. All prices on this page exclude taxes. Whether any tax applies depends on your country, and it is stated separately on your quote and invoice.
What changes the price?
The scope. Mainly the number of pages or screens, custom rules in your workflow, integrations with systems you already use, the number of languages, how much content must be entered, and how many kinds of users there are. The quote spells all of this out, and a change after sign-off is quoted separately.
Can we start with an MVP?
Yes, and we often recommend it. We scope a first version that does the one job that proves the idea, design it so the next version builds on it rather than replacing it, and give the next step its own fixed quote. The first quote is the one on this page.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. On request we sign a mutual NDA before you share anything confidential, including before the 15-minute call if you prefer. The signed contract then covers confidentiality for the project itself.
How do time zones and communication work?
We are in Israel, UTC+2 in winter and UTC+3 in summer. We work Sunday to Thursday, which covers most of the European working week and US East Coast mornings. We work in English, keep decisions in writing, and show progress at each milestone so you are never guessing where the project stands.
Who owns what?
Your brand, data and accounts (domain, analytics, payment account) are yours and registered in your name, and the product your customers use is yours. Buying out the source code of your product is an option set in the agreement. VantyRex's backend logic and infrastructure are licensed to you to run your product and are never handed over. The agreement you sign before work begins sets this out, so there is no surprise later.
What about privacy and customer data?
The data your site or system collects belongs to you, and the accounts (domain, analytics, payment) are registered in your name. Privacy-policy and terms pages are drafted as part of the build, from how your site actually works, and we recommend your own lawyer reviews them; we do not promise a legal outcome. If you handle sensitive data, such as health information, tell us on the call so we can scope it properly.
What about maintenance after launch?
Fixes to what we built are covered for 30 days after launch. After that, a change gets its own fixed quote before any work starts, or can be covered by VantyRex managed care if you choose it. You pay hosting and other third-party providers directly, on accounts in your name.
