Never again dependent on one person.

Our team keeps working on your software, your integrations and your AI every month, for a fixed fee. A delivery every two weeks, something new in use every month. No hours: there is no meter running.

Our team, ongoing, is Elusive's Partnership model: a fixed team that keeps building on your systems every month, for a fixed monthly fee. You get a delivery with a demo every two weeks and something in use every month, maintenance is included, and everything we make is yours. You start with a short initial period, agreed per client. After that you can cancel any month, or agree on a year.

Knowledge in a team, not in one head.

The builder who quits. The developer who leaves. The one colleague who knows how the integration works. It is what business owners tell us most often, and it is always the same risk: everything depends on one person, whether they work for you or for your supplier.

“If that person is ill … your business grinds to a halt.”
A business owner, in an introductory meeting with us

With us, at least two people know your project. What we build, why, and how it fits together is in our system and in the documentation you get from us. If someone is ill, on leave or on holiday, the work simply carries on. You will not notice.

  • At least two people know your project
  • The knowledge is written down, not in someone's head
  • Illness, leave or holiday: the work carries on

What you get every month

You are not buying hours or a seat, but a steady rhythm of finished work.

  • A delivery every two weeks

    In a short demo we show what is finished. You see the work itself, not a timesheet.

  • Something in use every month

    Not just built, but introduced to the people who work with it every day.

  • You set the order

    We keep one list together. You set the priorities; we cut large work into pieces that are done within two weeks.

  • Maintenance is included

    Updates, security and monitoring come with it. Small questions and changes are picked up within one working day.

  • An overview with every invoice

    What went into use, what it brings you, what we prevented and what is now at the top of the list.

  • One point of contact

    One person to go to, and a meeting every month about what comes next.

No hours, no fees per user or module, no invoices for extra work. More wishes mean a longer list, not a higher bill.

Three choices side by side

Our team, a one-off project or your own employee. All three are a real choice; this is what each asks of you.

What you pay
Our team, ongoing: A fixed monthly fee, everything included
A one-off project: One fixed price up front
Your own employee: Salary, plus well over a third in employer costs
What you get
Our team, ongoing: A delivery every two weeks, something in use every month
A one-off project: The agreed result, on the agreed date
Your own employee: The hours of one person
Expertise
Our team, ongoing: Software, integrations, AI and maintenance, behind one point of contact
A one-off project: Whatever the project needs
Your own employee: One person, one discipline
Illness or leave
Our team, ongoing: The work carries on
A one-off project: Depends on who builds it
Your own employee: The work stops, and under current Dutch law you keep paying wages for up to two years
New wishes
Our team, ongoing: On the list, at no extra cost
A one-off project: A new quote
Your own employee: If there is time, and if it fits their discipline
Maintenance and updates
Our team, ongoing: Included
A one-off project: Agreed separately
Your own employee: Your own to arrange
Getting started
Our team, ongoing: First delivery after two weeks
A one-off project: Once the quote is approved
Your own employee: After recruiting and onboarding
Stopping
Our team, ongoing: Monthly, after a short initial period
A one-off project: Done at delivery
Your own employee: Under employment law
Who owns it
Our team, ongoing: You do: code, data, accounts and documentation
A one-off project: You do
Your own employee: You do, but the knowledge sits in one head

In the Netherlands an employee costs well over a third on top of gross salary, before workplace, training and cover during illness. During illness you currently keep paying wages for up to two years. Sources: Ondernemen met Personeel, MKB Servicedesk and UWV, as of October 2026.

How it starts

The initial period is short and there to see whether it works, for you and for us. We agree on its length together.

  1. Week 2

    The first delivery

    Something that works, with a demo. No months of preparation first.

  2. Month 1

    The list for the coming months, together

    What comes first, what follows and what can wait. You decide.

  3. End of initial period

    Look back, and you choose

    You see what has been delivered. Then you continue monthly, agree on a year, or stop.

The agreement

A short initial period first
Long enough to see what our team delivers, short enough not to be tied in. We agree on the length with you up front.
Then cancel any month
After the initial period you can stop at the end of any month. No year is required.
Or a year, at 5% off
If you know you want a year, you agree on that and pay 5% less every month.
Pausing is possible
A quiet period? You can put the work on hold for at most one month a year.
3% a year, no more
The fee goes up a fixed 3% each year, for wage costs. No other increases, so you already know what you will pay next year.
External costs up front and separate
We budget hosting and licences in advance, apart from the monthly fee. No surprises afterwards.

How you get out.

Everything we make is yours from day one: code, data, accounts and documentation. If you stop, you take everything with you and get a handover meeting. No buy-out fee.

When a one-off project fits better

Our team, ongoing, is not the right choice for everyone. In these cases we advise against it ourselves:

  • You have one defined goal, and nothing after it.
  • You have your own developer who takes over after delivery.
  • There is less than roughly one priority a month. Then you would pay every month for work that is not there.
  • A fixed monthly cost does not fit your budget right now.
  • You do not have half an hour a month to review and respond quickly.

Then a Sprint or a one-off project is the better choice: one defined result, at a fixed price up front.

Frequently asked questions

What does our team cost per month?

That depends on how much work there is each month. We name the amount in the introductory meeting, and it is fixed before you start: one monthly fee, without hours, per-user fees or invoices for extra work. Hosting and licences are budgeted up front and separately.

What if I want something big?

Then we cut it into pieces that are each done within two weeks, and you put them in order. We do not turn it down; it just sits on the list for longer.

What happens in a quiet month?

Then we work ahead on the list, or do maintenance that would otherwise wait. That is stated plainly in the monthly overview. If you want to put things on hold, you can pause for at most one month a year.

Who is my point of contact?

You have one fixed point of contact, and at least two people on our side know your project. There is a demo every two weeks and a meeting every month.

Who owns what you build?

You do, from day one: code, data, accounts and documentation. If you stop, you take everything with you, with a handover meeting.

Is this the same as hiring someone?

No. You do not hire a person by the hour; you agree on a fixed monthly output with a team that is itself responsible for the result. Who works on it at our end is up to us, including during illness and holidays.

Is our team a fit for you?

In a thirty-minute introduction we look at what you have, whether that is enough for an ongoing team or fits better as a one-off project, and what it costs per month.
