APIs are priced by endpoints, auth complexity, webhooks and documentation — a 5-endpoint CRUD API and a payment-reconciling integration platform are different engagements:
Bands
- CRUD REST API — ₹40,000–₹1,00,000. Auth, validation, docs, Postman collection.
- Third-party integration — ₹25,000–₹80,000. Payments, shipping, SMS, WhatsApp, accounting.
- Webhook systems — ₹30,000+. Retries, idempotency, dead-letter handling.
- API docs & sandbox — included. Versioned docs your partners can actually use.
What drives cost
Sandbox quality of the third party (Indian aggregators vary wildly), reconciliation needs and uptime SLAs. We spike unknowns before quoting — see Laravel API work.
FAQs
REST or GraphQL?
REST for partner integrations; GraphQL for complex product frontends. Most Indian B2B needs REST.
Do you document?
OpenAPI + human guides + Postman — documentation is a deliverable, not a favour.
Who maintains versioning?
We do, on monthly plans with deprecation policies.
