Transparent Fractional CTO Pricing

Most firms in this space hide their prices behind a "contact us". Reyem Tech publishes them. Every engagement starts the same way — a fixed-price Technology Health Check — so a senior fractional CTO can place you on the right tier from real evidence, not a sales call.

Started with a Health Check? Its $2,000 credit applies to invoice 3 of any retainer started within 90 days.

What we deliver

Less than one full-time CTO

A full-time CTO in Canada runs well past $300K all-in. A fractional engagement gives you the same seniority for the decisions that actually need it — and nothing for the ones that don't.

Compare with the cost calculator
  • Full-time CTO C$300,000+/year
  • Fractional CTO $96,000+/year
  • CTO on Tap $33,000+/year
  • Technology Health Check — fixed scope $2,000 (one-time)

Retainers annualize published monthly starting fees over 12 months; this is not an annual commitment or quote. The Health Check is a one-time fee.

The full-time CTO amount is a Canadian planning benchmark. The other figures use our current published fees.

CTO on Tap: month-to-month with no minimum term and 30-day notice. Fractional CTO: 3-month minimum term and 60-day notice.

Pricing questions

Reyem Tech publishes its prices. A fixed-scope Technology Health Check is $2,000 (~2 weeks). Ongoing advisory (CTO on Tap) starts from $2,750/month, and an embedded Fractional CTO retainer starts from $8,000/month. These are typical averages for planning only — actual cost is assessed per project and scope, and is not a guaranteed price.

Yes. Single ad-hoc hours are available at $350/hr. That is the published standard rate; your effective rate may be discounted based on the size of your engagement and our working relationship, but never exceeds the published rate. Rates are current at time of publication and reviewed periodically as conditions change. For a rate confirmed to your engagement, book a scoping call.
