How it works

$99 per Story Point: Our AI-powered system behind predictable pricing

Story points replace hours as the basis for pricing. Each task is evaluated for complexity and effort using a standardized, AI-powered approach, so estimates are consistent and your costs remain predictable and tied to completed deliverables.

1 Point
Simple + minimal effort
Real examples
  • Update error message text in a user authentication flow
  • Add a new field to an existing API response that's already available in the database
  • Update environment variables in a staging deploy config
  • Add a new option to a static or config-based dropdown menu
3 Points
Straightforward, but real work
Real examples
  • Implement client-side form validation, use known validation lib
  • Add CSV export functionality to an existing UI data table
  • Create a new email notification template for password resets using the existing email service
  • Add a new filter, like "Filter by Status," to a report — both the UI element and simple backend logic
5 Points
Some complexity, a few unknowns
Real examples
  • Implement a new REST API to create/update team members
  • Add real-time webhook with retry logic for status update events
  • Build a usage dashboard component showing monthly active users from a new data source
  • New settings page where users can toggle email preferences: UI + backend to fetch/save the settings
Fraction breaks down tasks 5 points or larger to expose complexity and ensure productivity tracking.

The honest comparison

Why founders choose Fraction
over traditional models

Frankie the Fraction bear, thumbs up
Fraction
Outcome Based Engineering
Traditional
Models
Who's building Senior US engineers, AI-superpowered, embedded in your workflow Offshore juniors you've never met
Speed AI-superpowered — what takes a traditional team 4 weeks takes ours 4 days Ramp-up, standups, timezone delays, rework — then maybe something ships
Visibility Live view of what's done, what's in progress, and what's blocked — updated automatically, not when someone remembers to log it You find out something's stalled when the deadline passes
Cost predictability Scoped upfront, priced by story point, no surprises Hourly estimates drift. Agency change orders. Offshore rework. Budgets blow.
Skin in the game We ship or we don't get paid They bill regardless
