Is your agency's estimate actually fair?
Send us any agency quote, proposal, or invoice. A senior e-commerce engineer reviews it line by line and tells you what's reasonable, what's inflated, and what's missing entirely. €290 — one price, one honest answer.
What you get
A line-by-line review with clear verdicts.
Not a vague "looks okay." Every line item gets a verdict: fair, high, unnecessary, or missing.
Item-by-item verdict
Every line in the estimate rated as fair, overestimated, unnecessary, or unclear — with the reasoning behind each call.
Rate benchmarking
Are the hourly rates in line with the market for this platform and region? We compare against real-world data.
Missing items
Work that should be in the estimate but isn't — things that will become expensive "change requests" later.
Push-back script
Specific questions to ask your agency and points to negotiate. Written so a non-technical person can use them.

day 4What we typically find
These show up in 80% of estimates we review.
hours:inflated Padded hours
Tasks estimated at 2–3× what they take. "Custom integration" at 80 hours that's really a well-documented API call.
scope:vague Deliberately vague scope
"Setup & configuration: 40h" with no detail. Impossible to verify, easy to overbill, guaranteed to spawn change requests.
items:missing Critical items not quoted
Testing, deployment, data migration, or SEO redirects left out — so they become expensive "extras" mid-project.
rate:premium Senior rates, junior work
€120/h "senior architect" rates for work that a mid-level developer handles in every agency.
lock:hidden Hidden lock-in
Proprietary modules, hosting tied to the agency, or code you don't own — buried in terms you never read.
work:unnecessary Work you don't need
A full custom build when a €50/month app does the job. Rebuilding what already works because it's easier to quote.
Free 2-minute diagnostic
Worried about the quote? You should check the lock-in too.
An inflated estimate is one red flag — but can you even leave if you wanted to? Find out who really controls your code, backups, domain and accounts with our Hostage Risk Score.
