Certainly you’d like to read some precise figures here. However, as projects can be very different, it’s hard to find a general rule.

As a rule of thumb, the time required for writing software documentation roughly is:

When documenting hardware and complex drawings have to be made, the time required can be significantly higher.

Our rates are based on the specific professional requirements of a project, and normally range from about €50 per hour to €100 per hour.

Please feel free to ask for an individual quotation.

Our quotations are always based on realistic estimates, not on best-case scenarios. Of course we only charge for the hours that were actually spent on the project.

By the way: You shouldn’t trust any offer based on a price per page (only exception: translations). it’s much more user-friendly, but also much more challenging, to present the same information on “only” one page than to fill a dozen pages. Therefore, any price-per-page offer seriously penalizes user-friendly documentation and results in a conflict of interests.

We calculate times on the basis of 15-minute time intervals. So you don’t have to pay for any expensive “rounding errors”.

We provide the same terms and conditions to all clients, no matter whether they are start-ups, mid-sized companies, or large corporations.

“There’s hardly anything in the world that someone can’t make a little worse and sell a little cheaper …” (John Ruskin, 1819-1900).

There are better alternatives, however. If your project is on a tight budget, we can find a smart solution that uses this budget wisely. For example, we can run an ABC-Analysis to pinpoint priorities, and we can then use the right tools to create the documentation efficiently.
