How Styver compares
Three ways to get software built, side by side. A general comparison, not a claim about any named company.
| DIY with AI tools | A typical agency | Styver | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Low to start. Fixing it later is on you. | Often priced for a large team, and quotes can stay open-ended. | A fixed quote in writing. Starting prices are published. |
| Speed | A fast first draft. | Often weeks to months. | Built fast with AI, with an engineer checking every line. |
| Security | Whatever the tool generated. Gaps are easy to miss. | Usually handled, at a price. | Secure by default and tested before launch. |
| Ownership | Depends on the platform's terms. | Depends on the contract. | You own the custom code once paid in full, and we hand it over on request. |
| Support | You are on your own. | A retainer or hourly billing. | Hosting with backups and monitoring, and care plans from R350 a month. |

What it costs
Every project is different, so your price depends on what you need. As a guide, websites start at R3,500 and apps are quoted after a free scoping call. We build fast with AI and pass the saving on. Your fixed quote is agreed in writing before any work starts.
Built something with AI that is not quite working?
Send it to us for a free review. We tell you what works, what is risky and what it needs, by call or by message. For the right project we can show you a working demo of the rebuilt version before you commit.
Questions people ask first
How much does a website cost in South Africa?
With Styver, a one-page website starts at R3,500, a multi-page website at R6,500 and a website with a blog you can edit at R7,500. Online stores start at R12,000. You get a fixed quote before work starts.
What does fixed price mean?
We agree the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. If you later want something outside that scope, it is billed hourly at R800 an hour, and you know that up front.
Can you work with a business outside Pretoria?
Yes. Styver is based in Pretoria and works remotely with clients across South Africa and abroad.
Can you automate things in WhatsApp?
Yes. We connect the WhatsApp Business API to your other tools with n8n, so alerts, follow-ups and confirmations go out without anyone typing them. Custom apps and automations typically cost R8,000 to R25,000, quoted after a free scoping call.
Will people find my business on Google and in AI assistants?
Our multi-page sites include on-page SEO and a sitemap. Pages are written with clear headings and plain answers so search engines and AI assistants can understand and quote them.
Why is Styver faster and cheaper than an agency?
We use AI to do the repetitive work quickly, and an engineer checks what ships. The time we save comes off your price. You pay for the outcome, not for padded hours.
Is software built with AI safe for my business?
It can be, when a person is responsible for it. Every Styver project is tested before launch and secure by default: secrets stay out of the code, connections are encrypted and forms are protected from spam.
Why do you publish starting prices?
Because a surprise quote is the thing most small businesses fear. Starting prices are a guide, since every project differs. After a free scoping call you get a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
What does hosting cost?
Website hosting is R150 a month. App hosting starts at R600 a month and rises with the size, scale and complexity of your stack. Hosting includes backups and monitoring. A care plan, from R350 a month, adds support hours.
