Pricing

Less than one hour of a fractional CTO. Every month.

A full-time CTO runs $250k+ a year. A fractional CTO runs $3–8k a month. NovaCTO watches more, forgets nothing, and never sleeps — for the price of a nice dinner.

The comparison your spreadsheet wants

Full-time CTO

$250k+ salary, plus equity. Right when you're scaling past 30 engineers. Overkill before that.

~$21,000/mo

Fractional CTO

Excellent for strategy and hiring. But they see your codebase a few hours a month — a snapshot, not a stream.

$3,000–8,000/mo

Technical audit

A one-time report that starts aging the day it's delivered. Useful for deals; useless for oversight.

$5,000–15,000 once

NovaCTO

Continuous, evidence-based oversight, in plain English, every week. Pairs beautifully with any of the above.

from $149/mo
Pricing questions
What does "founding-customer pricing locked for life" mean?

Exactly what it says: the monthly price you sign up at during early access never increases for you, as long as you stay subscribed — even as list prices rise after launch. It's our thank-you for betting on us early.

Is there a free trial?

Early-access customers get their first two Monday Briefs free. If the second brief hasn't told you something about your own company that you didn't know, walk away — no card charged, access revoked with one click.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Access tokens are revoked immediately and derived analytics are deleted within 30 days. We never store your source code in the first place — it's analyzed and discarded. Details on the security page.

Do you charge per seat?

No. Oversight tools priced per seat create an incentive to limit who sees the truth, which is backwards. Plans are priced by footprint — repositories and cloud accounts — and everyone you want in the loop can be in the loop.
