§ Pricing · UF + VAT · reference
Honest ranges. Exact quote after we talk.
The whole path, from the first diagnosis to a platform, with the price of each step in UF. These are reference ranges, not fixed rates: final pricing depends on actual scope, which we map after reading your written brief.
| § | Category | Modality | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Initial orientation Twenty minutes on video to work out whether what you need is what we do. If it is not, we tell you and point you somewhere useful. No cost for a base scope of one introductory video call. This is not an offer. | No cost | no cost |
| 02 | Technical diagnosis We review the system or the process you are worried about and tell you what is going on, with the priorities in order. It is the way in, and what you pay is discounted from the project if you go ahead. Indicative: from 3 UF plus VAT for a base scope of one system or one process. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many systems are involved, the state of the code and the documentation available. This is not an offer. | Before the project | from 3 UF / USD 135, discountable |
| 03 | Operational improvement map We review what you already have running and deliver the scope with its detailed budget, with the priorities in order. Indicative: from 10 UF plus VAT for a base scope of the processes and systems already running. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many processes are reviewed, how many systems have to be examined from the inside and how much documentation is produced. This is not an offer. The 10 to 20 UF range tracks the depth of the review rather than the size of the project that follows. | Before the project | 10 to 20 UF / USD 450 to 900, discountable |
| 04 | Operational improvement map, Law 21.719 variant The same map, focused on personal data: what data you handle, where it lives, who it is shared with, and which obligations of Chilean Law 21.719 reach your case, each one with the article behind it. Indicative: from 12 UF plus VAT for a base scope of the personal data of one processing activity and the systems holding it. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many systems process personal data, how many third parties receive that data and which obligations reach the case. This is not an offer. | Before the project | from 12 UF / USD 540, discountable |
| 05 | Scoped automation A repetitive process is written into a flow that runs without depending on anyone's schedule. Agents on Telegram and WhatsApp Cloud API, integration with Acumbamail and Google Workspace. Indicative: from 15 UF plus VAT for a base scope of one process and one channel. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many steps the process has, which channels are connected and the third-party integrations. This is not an offer. The 15 to 40 UF range applies to the base scope described above; a larger scope is quoted in the 40 to 80 UF range. | Project | 15 to 40 UF / USD 675 to 1,800 |
| 06 | Connected flow Several steps chained across systems that do not talk to each other today: the data comes in once and travels the rest of the way without anyone copying it by hand, with a record of every run. Indicative: from 40 UF plus VAT for a base scope of two systems that do not talk to each other today. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many systems are involved, the state of their programming interfaces and the third-party integrations. This is not an offer. The 40 to 80 UF range applies to the base scope described above; a larger scope is quoted in the 80 to 150 UF range. | Project | 40 to 80 UF / USD 1,800 to 3,600 |
| 07 | Management module A web application with its API on a modern stack (Next.js, Django, PostgreSQL), with user management, authentication and permissions, and a functional module of its own: inventory, bookings, documents, forms, or the data subject rights flow with its audit trail. Indicative: from 80 UF plus VAT for a base scope of one module and a documented stack. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many systems are involved, the state of the code and the third-party integrations. This is not an offer. The 80 to 150 UF range applies to the base scope described above; a larger scope is quoted in the 150 to 350 UF range. | Project | 80 to 150 UF / USD 3,600 to 6,750 |
| 08 | Integrated system Several modules operating together with their roles, permissions and history, on a database of their own, integrated with the rest of what you already use. Indicative: from 150 UF plus VAT for a base scope of several modules over a dedicated database. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many modules are involved, the state of the code being integrated and the third-party integrations. This is not an offer. The 150 to 350 UF range applies to the base scope described above; a larger scope is quoted from 350 UF. | Project | 150 to 350 UF / USD 6,750 to 15,750 |
| 09 | Platform or ecosystem Several products sharing identity, data and operations, each with its own life cycle. This is the range for work built in stages over months. Indicative: from 350 UF plus VAT for a base scope of the first product of the ecosystem. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many products are involved, the stages the work is split into and the third-party integrations. This is not an offer. | Project | from 350 UF / USD 15,750 |
| 10 | Continuity and evolution Managed infrastructure with Docker Compose and Traefik, automatic certificates, daily backups and monitoring, plus fifteen monthly hours of technical work for maintenance, adjustments and incidents. We work with Hetzner and Hostinger for standard servers, and with AWS, Azure or Google Cloud when the project calls for specific services, quoted according to their infrastructure. Indicative: from 20 UF plus VAT per month for a base scope of one standard server and the plan's technical hours. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many services are maintained, the infrastructure provider and the hours the month requires. This is not an offer. | Monthly | from 20 UF / USD 900 per month |
| 11 | Code and architecture review A review of the code and the architecture, with technical debt and vulnerabilities identified and a prioritised action plan.

§ Reference values in UF and USD. Invoicing in CLP at UF rate of issue date (Chilean clients) or in USD for international clients. Official UF value: sii.cl/valores_y_fechas/uf/uf2026.htm.
01 Why UF and not fixed CLP prices?
UF (Unidad de Fomento) is Chile's commercial reference unit, indexed to inflation. We quote in UF and invoice in CLP at the rate of the invoice issue date. Official UF rate published by SII at https://www.sii.cl/valores_y_fechas/uf/uf2026.htm. For international clients we invoice in USD directly at the reference value published.
02 Are the listed values fixed or referential?
Referential. Final price depends on scope, complexity and modules involved. There are simpler projects and considerably more complex ones. After a 20-minute no-cost conversation we define scope and deliver a formal quote in 24 to 72 hours.
03 How does the operational improvement map work?
It is the step before the project: we review what you already have running and deliver the scope with its detailed budget. What you pay is discounted from the final value if the project goes ahead. Indicative: from 10 UF plus VAT for a base scope of the processes and systems already running. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many processes are reviewed, how many systems have to be examined from the inside and how much documentation is produced. This is not an offer. The 10 to 20 UF range tracks the depth of the review rather than the size of the project that follows.
04 What does hosting + monthly support include?
Managed VPS with Docker Compose + Traefik setup, automatic SSL certificates, daily backups and basic monitoring. Includes 15 hours per month of technical support for maintenance, updates, minor adjustments and incident resolution. Additional hours are billed separately.
05 Which cloud providers do you work with?
Hetzner and Hostinger for standard VPS (most SMB projects). AWS, Azure and Google Cloud for projects that require specific hyperscaler services (multi-region high availability, managed services like RDS or Cloud SQL, integrations with same-provider products, enterprise compliance requirements). The choice depends on technical requirements and project complexity.
06 What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer CLP, Flow.cl (card and transfer) and Stripe for international clients in USD. Electronic invoicing with SII Chile. The payment schedule is written into the quote, with its milestones: there is no published threshold separating a small project from a medium one, because what sets the milestones is the scope and not the amount. Monthly services are paid a month in advance.
