Care, after the build.
AUD · GST inclusiveCare is service-on-top, never lock-in. You own the code on final payment — these plans are how we keep helping after you do.
Pricing — provisional
The bands below are a working estimate, not a quote. We're still settling the retainer model — what's billed by the hour, and whether it's monthly or as-needed. If you need a firm number now, ask in the brief and we'll quote you direct.

04 · Not covered
A care plan isn't everything.
- Full rebuilds or replatforms — quoted separately as a new build.
- New modules beyond the scope of the original site — billed per the modular menu on pricing.
- Emergency forensic work after a breach or third-party intrusion — handled case-by-case at our standard rate.
- Third-party services you bring in (Stripe, CRMs, schedulers) — we integrate them, but we don't own their billing or uptime.
