Transparent by default.
No surprise invoices. No scope creep padding. You'll always know what you're paying for and why.
Hiring a full-time senior developer comes with costs that never appear on the job listing. Employer NI, pension contributions, holiday accrual, and HR overhead add roughly 30% on top of the salary. With Pare Studio, you pay one transparent invoice for results — no payroll, no admin, no long-term liability.
Based on standard UK employer costs for a senior technical hire. Actual figures vary by salary band and pension scheme. The point stands: you get the same expertise with none of the overhead.
Lean by design, not by compromise.
The average UK tech consultancy charges £800–£1,200 per day — and a good chunk of that covers things that have nothing to do with your project. We've built Pare Studio differently: AI is the primary reason we can deliver at senior quality for less, and we pass that efficiency directly to you.
AI-native workflow
We use AI across everything we do — not as a gimmick, but as a genuine force multiplier. It's what lets a small senior team produce at the pace of one many times its size, and it's the primary reason our rates sit where they do rather than at £800+ per day.
Small team, senior people
No bench of juniors billing time while they learn. Every person working on your project is experienced and productive from day one.
No middle management
No account managers, no project coordinators, no layers between you and the people doing the work. That overhead doesn't exist here.
Simple, honest, predictable.
Longer commitments cost less per day. Whether you need us for a day or a quarter, here's exactly what it costs.
All prices are day rates, excluding VAT. Weekly and monthly rates reflect a discounted day rate for longer commitments.
Design and development happen together, not in sequence. One team, one invoice, no handoff gaps.
Discovery Day
After an initial conversation, we spend a full day diving into your problem — auditing your current setup, identifying opportunities, and delivering a concrete recommendation you can act on. If you proceed to a project, the discovery day fee is credited against the total.
1 day • credited if you proceedProject-based
For defined deliverables like MVPs, apps, and integrations. We scope the work, agree on a fixed price upfront, and deliver. You'll know the total before we write a line of code.

You talk to the people doing the work. No account managers, no ticket queues.
Regular updates
Weekly progress updates and working demos. You'll never be left wondering what's happening.
Source code ownership
Everything we build is yours. Full codebase handover, no lock-in, no licensing fees.
Post-launch support
We don't disappear after delivery. Every project includes a support window to iron out any issues.
We're not right for every project.
We're a small, senior team. That's our strength — but it means we're best suited to certain kinds of work.
You need a large team
If your project needs 10+ developers working in parallel, we're not built for that. We're best when a small, focused team can move fast.
You need 24/7 support
We build and ship software, but we're not an on-call ops team. If you need round-the-clock monitoring and support, that's a different kind of provider.
You want staff augmentation
We work best as partners, not extra hands. If you need someone to sit in your Jira board and pick up tickets, we're probably not the right fit.
You need formal procurement
We don't do RFPs, tendering processes, or 6-month vendor evaluations. If that's how you buy, we'll slow each other down.
