Prices are for the stated services, not interchangeable subscription tiers. Extra functionality and specialist work are quoted separately. Testing reduces uncertainty; it cannot guarantee defect-free or completely secure software.

IN DEVELOPMENT
ShipReady. A simpler way to start testing.
We’re building a self-service QA toolkit for web applications, SaaS products and AI-assisted software. Start with practical checks and evidence, then decide whether independent expert help is needed.

CUSTOM ENGINEERING
Need something built from scratch?
ProChat designs and develops custom applications, APIs, AI integrations and cloud workflows with quality engineering as part of the agreed delivery. Hosting and ongoing maintenance are scoped to your project.
Yes. Quality Engineering is €75 per hour excluding VAT, with a four-hour minimum (€300 excluding VAT). We agree the focus and scope before beginning. New clients prepay their first four hours.
What does the independent QA audit include?+
Audits start from €997 excluding VAT. We first discuss your application and agree on a bounded, risk-based scope. You receive an independent summary, technical findings, supporting evidence, important limitations and recommended next steps. This is not a guarantee of security or a defect-free release.
How does the managed website subscription work?+
We create a real homepage preview before your first payment. After approval, your subscription covers the agreed website build, hosting, routine maintenance, backups and reasonable minor changes. The initial term is three months, followed by monthly cancellation under the agreed notice terms. Domain charges and substantial extras are separate.
What if my website needs more than ten pages?+
Five to ten pages is a typical guide, not an automatic cutoff. We agree a sensible scope for your business. More complex applications, advanced features and extensive integrations are quoted separately.
Why do European and US website prices differ?+
ProChat has separate fixed public price lists: €147 per month excluding VAT for Europe and $179 per month before applicable taxes for the United States. They are not automatic live exchange-rate conversions. Final tax treatment depends on the customer and jurisdiction.
Is ShipReady available now?+
Not yet. ShipReady Starter is planned to be free, and Professional has a target one-time price of €47, intended as a VAT-inclusive consumer price where applicable in the EU. The toolkit and checkout are still in development; there is no purchase or independent certification to offer today.
Do you build custom software too?+
Yes. ProChat also develops custom web applications, APIs and integrations, including practical AI workflows. Each engagement is scoped and quoted separately. Quality engineering forms part of the agreed delivery; ongoing hosting and maintenance are available by agreement.
