Most agency pricing pages will not tell you the number. You get "starting from", or a tiered table where the tier you need is the one marked Contact us. This page tells you the number in the first line, because the number is not the interesting part of the decision — what it buys is.
Noqta costs $45 an hour. One rate, every agent, every service. That is the whole rate card.
What one flat rate actually means
The usual agency model prices by seniority and by discipline. A senior developer costs more than a junior one, a data analyst is billed differently from a QA tester, and a project manager is either an extra line item or quietly folded into everyone else's rate. You end up negotiating the shape of the team before anyone has looked at the problem.
We do not do that. A build agent, a QA agent, a contract-review agent, a content agent and a data-analysis agent all cost $45 an hour. Switching between them costs nothing and requires no new statement of work — a build agent this week and a QA agent next week is the same rate and the same account.
That has a practical consequence worth naming: it removes the incentive to put the wrong person on the job. When every hour costs the same, there is no margin reason to staff a task with whoever is cheapest on the bench.
What an hour includes
An hour is an hour of agent work plus the human review of it. Every task an AI agent handles is checked by a human expert before it reaches you. That review is not billed separately and is not an upsell — it is the reason the model works at all.
If the output misses the brief, we revise it at no extra charge. That is the correct position for anyone selling AI-assisted work honestly: the speed comes from the agent, the accountability has to come from a person, and you should not be paying twice to get both.
How you actually pay
You buy credits and spend them. 1 credit = $0.01, so an hour of agent time is 4,500 credits.
| Top-up | Credits | Roughly buys |
|---|---|---|
| $5 | 500 | One tweak — a copy fix, a style change, a single bug, a config flip |
| $15 | 1,500 | A small feature — a new screen, a simple component, a one-off script |
| $45 | 5,000 + 500 bonus | A request — a feature with backend and UI, an integration, a focused refactor |
| $100 | 12,000 + 2,000 bonus | A half-day build — an end-to-end flow, a small service, multi-screen work |
The bonus credits are worth doing the arithmetic on. A $100 top-up carries 14,000 credits, and at 4,500 credits an hour that is a little over three hours of work for a hundred dollars. The rate on the tin stays $45; the bigger the top-up, the further it goes.
There is no subscription and no tier to be upgraded out of. There is no minimum number of hours — book one or a hundred. There is no lock-in contract. Credits you have bought are yours to spend across any agent.
The invoice
You get a weekly invoice with an hour-by-hour breakdown of what each agent worked on. Not a monthly lump labelled professional services, and not a burn-down against a retainer you cannot audit.
This matters more than it sounds. The single most common complaint about agency billing is not that it is expensive — it is that it is unfalsifiable. If you cannot see which hour went where, you cannot tell an efficient week from a padded one, and you certainly cannot tell your finance team.
When this is the wrong model for you
An honest pricing page has to include this section, so here it is.
Hourly billing suits work whose shape is not fully known yet. Discovery, integration against a system nobody has documented, a refactor whose depth you find out by starting — these are the cases where a fixed price is a guess with a risk premium priced into it, and where you would be paying that premium whether or not the risk materialises.
It suits you less well when the scope is genuinely fixed and repeatable. If you know precisely what you want, it has been built a hundred times before, and you want a single number to take to a board, a fixed-price quote is a reasonable thing to ask for and we will talk about one. Do not let an hourly rate talk you out of a fixed price that is actually available.
It also suits you less well if you need someone in the building. These are remote agents supervised by remote humans. If your constraint is physical presence or a badge, this is not the shape of help you need.
What it costs compared to the alternative
The comparison most people actually want is not one agency against another — it is hiring against not hiring. We have written about the cost side of that in more depth:
- What workflow automation costs, and what drives the number — why two apparently similar projects differ by a factor of ten
- What an e-commerce site really costs in Saudi Arabia — payment rails, e-invoicing, logistics and correct Arabic
- The hidden costs of not automating — what inaction is costing while the decision waits
The honest summary of all three: the number on a quote is rarely what determines whether the project was worth it. Scope clarity is.
Getting started
You do not need to create an account to ask a question, and you do not need to commit to anything to find out whether the work is a fit. Top up from $5 and send a task, or book a free fifteen-minute call and describe the problem first — the second is usually the better order if you are not sure the work is well-shaped yet.
The full breakdown, including the credit tiers and the FAQ, is on the pricing page.
If you would rather have someone look at the problem before you spend anything: tell us what you are trying to fix and we will tell you honestly whether it is an hour of work, a month of it, or something you should not be paying anyone to do at all.
