Pricing
One price per application. The same for everyone.
No subscriptions, no hourly billing. You pay for a finished, approved specification. All prices are in US dollars.
Build Specification
$2,100USD per application
Founding price $2,100 through March 31, 2027 or the first 50 specs; price after: $3,500.
Paid when you create the project. Practitioner or enterprise, same price.
The price is meant to cover most Build Specifications. A very large project, for example one with more than about 40 business processes or several applications in one, may need more. You choose: split it into separate specifications, each using a new credit, or keep going with $1,750 add-ons until it's finished. You can also finish with what you have at any point, at no charge.

- Review by your experts and sign-off by your sponsor (or project owner), never by AI

What getting requirements right usually costs.
For one mid-sized business application, gathering and reconciling requirements the traditional way looks something like this:
Your own team
$25,000–$45,000
A business analyst for six to eight weeks, plus ten or so experts giving 15–20 hours each to workshops and reviews, at typical loaded salaries.
A Big Four–style consultancy
$50,000–$100,000+
Two consultants for three to four weeks at $200–$300 an hour, before travel and your own experts' time. Smaller engagements cost less; larger teams cost more.
Mochlion
$2,100
Founding price $2,100 through March 31, 2027 or the first 50 specs; price after: $3,500.
Flat, per application. Your experts answer only their own questions, on their own time, and you get a specification an AI can build from, not just a document.
Rough estimates for illustration, not quotes. Your mileage may vary. Your experts' time is still needed with Mochlion; each one answers only the questions meant for them.
What counts as one application?
One system with one purpose and one owner. A second, separate application is a second specification. If you aren't sure how your idea divides up, ask us before you start.
What's not included?
Building, deploying, hosting and supporting the application. That's your own team or your practitioner. Mochlion ends at a formal handoff.
How do programs work?
You prepay for a block of specifications and use them as projects come up. Each project uses one, and unused ones don't expire while your account is in good standing.
What if my project is very large?
The price is meant to cover most Build Specifications. A very large project, for example one with more than about 40 business processes or several applications in one, may need more. Before work would pause, you see three choices: split it into separate specifications (each uses a new credit), continue with a $1,750 add-on, as many times as it needs, or finish with what you have, at no charge. Nothing is charged unless you choose it.
What if requirements change later?
Changes to the specification are included for 90 days after handoff, and every change shows what it affects. After that, a major revision is a new specification.
