Do you offer payment plans or installments?
Yes, Advisory Apps uses a milestone-based payment structure rather than requiring full payment upfront. Our standard terms are 40% upon project kickoff, 30% at the midpoint milestone, and 30% upon final delivery and acceptance.
Standard Payment Milestones
- 40% — Project kickoff: Due after signing the agreement and before development begins. This covers initial planning, architecture, and design work.
- 30% — Midpoint delivery: Due when key features are demonstrated in a staging environment. The exact milestone is defined in your project proposal.
- 30% — Final delivery: Due upon project completion, user acceptance testing sign-off, and handover of all deliverables.
Flexible Arrangements for Larger Projects
For enterprise projects exceeding RM 150,000 or those running longer than six months, we can split payments across more milestones — for example, five or six smaller installments tied to sprint deliveries. This keeps cash flow manageable on your end while ensuring our team stays resourced throughout the engagement.
Time-and-Materials Billing
If your project uses a time-and-materials contract, billing typically happens monthly based on actual hours worked. We provide detailed timesheets and progress reports with each invoice so you always know what you are paying for.
Getting Started
We discuss payment terms during the proposal stage and document everything in the project agreement before any work begins. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. Contact us to discuss a payment arrangement that works for your budget and timeline.
