Pricing FAQs
How much does it cost to build a Chrome extension?
Small, well-scoped builds often start around $1,500–$5,000; complex features, data work, or multi-browser support increases effort. We’ll size it quickly after a short brief.
What drives cost up or down?
Complexity (content scripts vs background), required permissions, integrations, automation policy constraints, cross-browser targets, and test depth.
How do you price MV2 → MV3 migration?
We run a Migration Audit ($1,200) to map parity and risks, then price the migration based on findings.
Do you charge hourly?
We prefer fixed scopes or sprint pricing for predictability; retainers cover ongoing support.
Can you guarantee Chrome Web Store approval?
No one can guarantee approval, but our permissions minimization, privacy labels, and reviewer Q&A improve outcomes significantly.
Who owns the source code?
You do—we work in your organization’s repository with clear IP terms.
Do you offer discounts?
Nonprofit and educational discounts are available—ask during scoping.
What’s not included?
Third-party tool fees, marketplace fees, or external infrastructure costs.
