Pricing

Fixed prices, agreed before we build.

No hourly meters, no estimates that drift. You see the number, you approve the scope, we build. Modifiers and add-ons are stated up front so nothing arrives as a surprise.

Three ways to start

Plan it, validate it, or harden it. Each stage stands on its own — and the spec fee credits toward a build.

Companion deliverables

Standalone pieces you can add to any project — or buy on their own. Fixed price, same as everything else.

Multi-phase spec & roadmap

from $6k

The full product journey, not just the first build — phased across MVP, production, and future releases, with scope and indicative cost for each. The blueprint for a product you'll grow over years. Credited toward your first build with us.

Pitch deck

from $3.5k

A polished deck built around your product — works for sales conversations or raising from investors. We already understand what you're building, so the narrative, screens, and story come together fast.

Build modifiers

One-time upticks on the build price, stated up front. Each range names what moves you within it — so you can place yourself on the scale before we quote.

Premium design

+20% to +35%

Every build includes clean, custom design. This is for when you want more — a distinctive, crafted look with deeper polish, motion, and a brand-led visual identity. Scales with how far we push beyond a sharp, functional default.

Rush delivery

+25% to +50%

Scales with how compressed the timeline is — a modest push sits near +25%, a drop-everything sprint near +50%. The premium reflects the focused capacity it takes to clear the deck for you.

AI-native features

+15% to +30%

Scales with the eval and guardrail work — a single chat feature sits low, a multi-step agent or RAG pipeline sits high. Includes running-cost monitoring so inference spend never surprises you.

Native mobile

+30% per platform

A responsive web app ships fastest and cheapest. iOS and Android are separate builds — each is its own +30%. Add one or both when you've validated and you're ready for app-store reach.

Compliance build

+20% to +40%

Scales with the standard — a light GDPR pass sits near +20%, full HIPAA or SOC 2-ready architecture near +40%. Regulated industries pay for certainty; we build the audit trail in from day one.

Ongoing care — pick the lines you need

After handoff, stay self-sufficient or keep us on. Monthly, month-to-month, cancel anytime.

Care plan

$750–$1,500/mo

The standing relationship: monitoring, security patches, minor tweaks, and priority access to the builder who made it. Scales with the size of the app.

Managed hosting

infra + $250/mo

We run and maintain your infrastructure so you don't have to. Billed at the actual infra cost plus a flat management fee. Skip it entirely and host it yourself — your call.

Bug-fix SLA

from $500/mo

Guaranteed response windows when something breaks. Tiered by how fast you need us — standard next-day up to same-hour for business-critical apps.

On-call

quoted to app

For products where downtime costs real money. After-hours coverage and an escalation path, priced to your uptime needs. Most apps won't need this — we'll tell you if yours does.

Who owns the code

Three ways to settle it. You choose the one that fits your stage and your cap table.

Default · MVP tier

Licensed

included in the MVP price

You get a full license to run and operate the product. We retain the underlying codebase, which keeps the build fast and the price low. Ideal for validating before you commit.

Default · Production tier

Owned outright

in Production · or +50% of the MVP price

Full IP transfer — every line is yours, documented and handed over. Built into the Production tier. On an MVP you can buy out ownership for an extra 50% of that build's price. The standard for anything you're raising on.

Selective · by invitation

Equity hybrid

lower fee, plus equity

For the rare projects we'd bet on ourselves, we'll trade part of the cash price for equity. We're selective — but when the fit is right, we build as partners, not vendors.
