Services & pricing

What the 6164 team does directly, what each service includes, and where its price starts. We publish our prices openly because you shouldn’t have to ask what something costs.

6164 is in pilot, and fees apply during the pilot. The prices below are our prices, in NZD and exclusive of GST, and 6164 invoices you for them. Every job is scoped and confirmed with you in writing before any work starts.

Launch focus

Security & data testing

Apps built with AI often go live with gaps that are easy to miss: an open database, a key left in the code, a login that can be bypassed. A check before real customers arrive finds them while they are still cheap to fix.

Found something? A last-mile completion sprint fixes it, and your snapshot or test fee is credited if you book within 30 days.

Carried out by 6164’s own technical team. We test only with the app owner’s written authorisation, and only what we agree in writing. You get a findings report for a point in time, not a certification, and we never claim an app is unhackable. If we find a flaw in a third-party platform, we report it to that vendor responsibly.

We can’t control what AI systems say, and we don’t promise citations or rankings. What we do is make your information accurate, consistent and machine-readable.

Monitoring results are directional, not exact. Schema markup and llms files help AI systems read your site; they don’t make AI choose you. For most businesses, traffic from AI assistants is still small.

Briefs & payment protection

On platform briefs the creator delivers the work directly. 6164 matches you and protects the payment. The launch trial, from 14 November to 13 December 2026, has no platform fee (see below). The site doesn’t take card payments: 6164 sends payment instructions, and for protected projects your money is held by an independent third-party payment provider.

Launch trial — no transaction fees until 13 December 2026.From 14 November to 13 December 2026, the 10% + 10% platform fee is waived. During the launch trial, payment holding is not available yet — the business and the creator pay each other directly, and 6164 does not handle money. Agreed price, work order numbers, stage reviews, completion support and dispute help still apply. Payment holding by our third-party provider switches on when the trial ends; from then the 10% + 10% fee applies. How the launch trial works

How payment protection works

  • 6164 sends payment instructions from its payment provider. Your payment is held by an independent third-party payment provider — 6164 never holds your money — and 6164 confirms it and issues a work order number before the creator starts.
  • The business confirms delivery, and payment is released to the creator 15 working days after that confirmation. If the business neither confirms nor raises a written issue within 15 working days of delivery, delivery is treated as confirmed and the 15-working-day release period starts. Reminders go to the business on working days 5, 10 and 14 after delivery.
  • A written issue can be raised until payment is released. Disputes go to a free 6164 evidence review, then mediation, then the NZ Disputes Tribunal or arbitration.
  • Optional: pay in stages on jobs of $5,000 + GST or more — 2 to 4 stages, agreed before work starts. 6164 reviews each stage first, then the business is asked to confirm it. How stages work.
  • A 10% fee on each side — think of it as completion support. Every deal between members who met on 6164 goes through 6164 — why. Payment-provider fees are included — nothing is added on top.
  • Joint briefs and group pre-orders: several businesses share one project and each pays the same amount; from the 5th business 6164 buys for the group. Joint briefs · Group pre-orders · the 5-business rule.

The small print

  • All prices are in NZD and exclusive of GST (shown as “+ GST”). They are our current prices and apply during the pilot.
  • AI Visibility Care adds one standard monitoring-tool seat per client, charged at cost (capped); premium tools are passed through at cost.
  • Payment protection: The business confirms delivery, and payment is released to the creator 15 working days after that confirmation. If the business neither confirms nor raises a written issue within 15 working days of delivery, delivery is treated as confirmed and the 15-working-day release period starts. Terms summary.
  • Permanent placements carry a 3-month replacement guarantee (conditions apply — see terms).
  • More answers on the FAQ; the decided rules are in one place in the terms summary.
