Pricing
How pricing works
Every Cogniq quote is based on what you need, so there is no fixed price list. You get a clear, written plan and price before any work starts, with no obligation. This page explains how each type of work is priced and what affects the cost.

Questions
Why don’t you publish prices?+
Two businesses rarely need the same thing. A quote based on your needs is fairer than a package that makes you pay for things you don’t use.
Can we start small to control cost?+
Yes. Most clients begin with one project or one service.
Which currency do you invoice in?+
We invoice clients in India in Indian rupees (₹), clients in the UK in pounds sterling (£), and clients everywhere else in US dollars ($).
Do you charge for the first call or the quote?+
No.
