Value sharing, fixed fees & hourly work

Website, app &
AI integration pricing.
A shared ambition.

We’re interested in the value we can create together. That’s why SunCore offers value sharing for websites, apps and AI integrations, alongside fixed project fees and hourly work.

Three ways to work together.
One conversation to find the right fit.

Our signature approach

When our success
is connected.

Value sharing means agreeing on a way for SunCore to share in the value our work helps create.

It starts with a useful outcome and a way to measure it. We explore whether the approach fits your project, then agree on the responsibilities and commercial details together.

Suitability and terms are assessed for each project.

WHAT WE AGREE TOGETHER
  1. 01

    The value

    What result are we working towards?

  2. 02

    The measurement

    How will we know what value was created?

  3. 03

    The arrangement

    How are fees calculated, paid, and reviewed?

  4. 04

    The way forward

    What are the duration, ownership, and exit terms?

An example of the calculation

How could
value sharing work?

We first agree which value the project is expected to create, how to measure it, and what portion SunCore will receive.

A simple illustration

Suppose we agree that the value to measure is additional revenue attributable to the project, and SunCore’s share is 5%. If that agreed measure is R20,000 for a month, the share for that month would be R1,000.

Illustration only, not a quote or standard rate. The percentage, baseline, attribution, reporting, duration, and any upfront or ongoing fees are agreed for each project. Revenue is only one possible measure of value.

Discuss what fits your project

Familiar options, too

Choose what suits
your project.

You can engage SunCore on a fixed fee or hourly basis. We make room for the way you want to work.

02 / A CLEAR SCOPE

Fixed project fee

Agree on a defined piece of work and a price for delivering it.

  • Scope and deliverables set out upfront
  • Milestones and payment schedule agreed together
  • Changes discussed before extra work starts
Discuss a project
03 / FLEXIBILITY FOR THE WORK

Hourly work

Pay for time spent on the tasks we agree to work on.

  • Rate and expectations agreed before work
  • Suitable for defined tasks or evolving priorities
  • Time, estimates, and approvals discussed clearly
Talk through the work

Clear expectations from the start

The important details
belong in the conversation.

Whichever approach we choose, the proposal needs to explain what each side is agreeing to.

  • Scope, responsibilities, and realistic timing
  • Any discovery or upfront costs
  • How payments and scope changes work
  • Ownership, access, and handover
  • Hosting, maintenance, and ongoing support

Value sharing does not automatically mean free development, zero upfront costs, or equity. The actual arrangement is agreed for your project.

Let’s make it clear

Pricing questions,
answered.

Still figuring out what would work for you? Start with the project. We can discuss the options together.

Do I have to choose value sharing?

No. Fixed project fees and hourly work are available. We’ll discuss the project and agree on an approach that works for both sides.

Does value sharing mean there is no upfront cost?

That isn’t automatic. Discovery, an initial build fee, and ongoing charges may form part of an arrangement. Any costs must be set out and agreed before work begins.

Does SunCore take equity in my business?

Value sharing does not automatically mean equity. Any equity, revenue share, or other arrangement would need to be discussed and explicitly agreed. They are different models.

What percentage or rate do you charge?

There is no published standard percentage or rate here. The scope, responsibilities, costs, and commercial arrangement need to be discussed before a proposal can be made.

What if the scope changes?

We discuss the effect on the work, timing, and price before committing to the change. The proposal should make the change process clear.

Are hosting, maintenance, and support included?

These are separate decisions in the scope. The proposal should identify any ongoing services, who provides them, and what they cost.

How are ownership and the end of the arrangement handled?

Ownership, access, handover, duration, review points, and what happens when the arrangement ends are discussed and recorded before work begins.
