Three prices: the Assessment ($750–$1,500), the upgrade ($8,000–$25,000 fixed, by size band, with a 30-day warranty), and the care plan (from $300/month). Everything on this page is a range; the Assessment turns it into one number.
Invoiced in USD or GBP.
$750–$1,500
A read-only review of your application that ends in a written report and a fixed price for the upgrade.
$8,000–$25,000
PHP, Laravel and every package brought to supported versions on staging first, then cut over with a rollback plan.
from $300/month
Monthly security and dependency updates so the app never falls behind again.
Ranges — your fixed price comes from the Assessment. The signals are meant to let you estimate before you talk to anyone.
| Band | Fixed price range | Timeline | Signals |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSmall | $8,000–$12,000 | 3–4 weeks |
|
| MMedium | $12,000–$18,000 | 4–6 weeks |
|
| LLarge | $18,000–$25,000 | 6–8 weeks |

We write characterisation tests on your critical paths before changing anything, which adds days at the start of the project.
Packages with no supported release (laravelcollective/html, fzaninotto/faker, swiftmailer) have to be replaced, and their call sites rewritten.
Very old runtimes mean more hops, more deprecated syntax and a database upgrade that needs its own restore drill.
A frontend build migration touches every asset reference and usually the deploy script too.
Anything that touches money or sign-in gets extra tests and a separate sign-off on staging.
Hosts pinned to one PHP version often force a hosting move, which we scope as an add-on rather than hide in the price.
| Add-on | Range |
|---|---|
| MySQL 5.7 → 8.4 migrationCharacter set, SQL mode and query fixes, plus a timed restore drill. | $1,500–$4,000 |
| Laravel Mix → ViteBuild config, asset references, deploy script and a visual check of every page. | $800–$2,500 |
| Hosting move (cPanel → VPS/Forge)New server, deploy pipeline, DNS cutover and a rollback path to the old host. | $1,200–$3,500 |
| Test suite bootstrapA maintained PHPUnit/Pest suite covering the paths you named, beyond the characterisation tests included. | $1,500–$5,000 |
| Framework change (CodeIgniter/CakePHP → Laravel)Scoped separately — this is closer to a rebuild than an upgrade, and we say so. | Quoted after Assessment |

Abandoned packages, patches inside vendor/, a host that can't run PHP 8.3 — none of it is visible from a call. The Assessment costs a fixed fee, takes 3–5 working days, is credited if you proceed, and produces a report you can use with anyone.
Because the price depends on what the code actually contains — abandoned packages, custom forks, how the app is deployed — and none of that is visible from a call. A quote without reading the code is a guess that one side pays for later. The Assessment costs a fixed fee, takes 3–5 working days and is credited if you proceed.
The signals on this page (lines of code, package count, number of version hops, payments or multi-tenancy) are meant to let you estimate. The Assessment confirms it. Most 2015–2021 Laravel apps built by one agency land in Small or Medium.
New features, hosting moves, MySQL major upgrades and frontend build migrations are priced as add-ons or change orders so they never distort the core price. Everything in scope is written down; anything new is a half-page change order you approve first.

No. The upgrade ends with a 30-day warranty and a handover pack; the care plan is a separate 12-month agreement for teams that would rather not own monthly updates themselves.
3–5 working days. A fixed price for the upgrade, a list of what could break, and how we'll prevent it.
