Start with a free Japan Readiness Check, launch with a fixed-scope Launch Kit, then keep Japan running on a monthly retainer — which is where most of this ends up. Card checkout on most of it, the retainers included — and a fixed written quote on the scoped projects. Already shipping Japanese? One-time audits and QA subscriptions are further down.
The full menu and prices at a glance. Tap any row to jump to that offering. Most of it is card checkout, both retainers included; the scoped projects are bought with a fixed written quote — here's exactly how that works.

Built for foreign SaaS, FinTech, and AI teams that are ready for Japan but don't have a six-figure consultancy budget. Start free, launch with a fixed scope, and grow only once Japan is working.
Every step below has a price and a way to start it. The last two are the ones that matter most — a Japan market doesn't get won in one project, it gets run month after month.
A 1-page read on whether your product is ready for Japan.
Two weeks to a clear answer: is Japan worth it, and what do you do first?
Everything you need to start selling in Japan — not just a translation.
A focused three-month push to get you live with early distribution in place.
Keep growing in Japan after launch, without a big commitment.
Your embedded Japan operator. Weekly cadence, real execution across all four areas.
Six things are card checkout: the Mini Audit, the Starter and Growth plans, the Full Audit, the Growth Retainer and the Country Manager. You click, you pay, we start — no call, no quote, no waiting on me. The rest — Market Scan, Launch Kit, Launch Sprint, Enterprise, and any retainer scope above the base tier — is bought over email in three steps, and you see one fixed number in writing before you commit to anything.
Two lines is enough — what you want covered, and roughly when. Use the button on any card on this page: it arrives tagged with the offering you clicked, so you never explain it twice. No call required.
Within two to three business days: a written quote with a single price, the exact scope it buys, and the delivery window. It stays valid for 30 days, so you can take it to whoever signs off without the number moving underneath you.
Reply “go” and the invoice follows. Work begins on the scope in the quote. Nothing renews on its own, and the only minimum term anywhere on this page is the Country Manager's six months.
Already have Japanese live and just need it checked? These à-la-carte audits keep your existing pages accurate — no launch project required.
Everything in the Mini Audit across 3–5 pages, plus a full terminology glossary, a Japanese style-guide draft, and prioritized recommendations. Pay and we start: I confirm the exact pages with you by email before any work begins — no call required.
For teams already shipping Japanese content regularly. These QA subscriptions keep your localizations accurate and consistent across every release — separate from the Japan launch ladder above.
For teams with a steady release cadence who need regular QA on UI copy and short-form content.
For growing teams shipping new features and expanding Japanese content across multiple surfaces.
For larger teams with high-volume Japanese localization workflows, API docs, and compliance needs.
The free Japan Readiness Check is the lowest-risk first step — a 1-page read on whether you're ready for Japan. No charge, no obligation.
Already past that, and want someone running the market rather than delivering a project? Say so and I'll come back with a fixed quote for a retainer.
