Prices are listed by academic level and project type - no vague “from” figures that mean nothing. Local clients pay in South African Rand at friendly local rates; international clients pay standard US Dollar rates, kept slightly below comparable global providers.
Every price below is a clear starting point for that specific level and scope, and scales with length, complexity and turnaround. In Rand view, the USD figure shown is a live conversion of the local price; switch to USD for our standard international rate card. All prices exclude VAT where applicable.
