  • How does the monthly plan work?
    • With most quotes, we will present you with a onetime payment price or a monthly fee. Instead of paying fully for a system upfront, you can pay us the monthly fee to use the system. The best way to think about it is a rental fee. This is ideal for businesses that don’t need to own the system and want to minimize their initial costs.

      Another benefit to the monthly plan is that these customers are eligible for free upgrades and updates to certain parts of their system. Details will be included in your monthly newsletter once you are a customer.
  • Who 'owns' the system?
    • You will have the ability to receive the source code for any projects we build for you upon request, unless you are strictly on a monthly plan. Since each request is different, you will be notified of this when you receive your quote.
