Production-grade, not prototype-grade

AI-generated code can get you 80% of the way fast. The final 20% — auth, database hardening, deployment, observability, and scale — is what determines whether it actually works in production. That's our territory.

Engineering accountability

We take responsibility for the outcome, not just the deliverable. Every project includes a deployment plan, rollback strategy, and post-launch support window — because shipping is the beginning, not the end.

No sales team, just engineers

When you contact us, you talk to the engineer who will actually do the work. Discovery calls are free. Proposals are detailed and fixed-scope. No re-selling you on add-ons after you sign.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Pricing FAQ

Do you offer fixed-price projects?

Yes — for well-defined scopes. After a free discovery call, we provide a detailed proposal with a fixed project price and payment milestones. For complex or evolving requirements, we recommend a time-and-materials engagement to avoid scope-creep surprises.

What is included in the $249 Engineering Audit?

A thorough review of your existing codebase, architecture, security posture, deployment setup, and performance characteristics. You receive a prioritized, actionable report — not a generic checklist — written by a senior engineer. If you proceed with a fix engagement, the $249 is credited toward the project cost.

Can I start with a maintenance plan and add development later?

Absolutely. Our maintenance plans are designed to grow with you. Many clients start on Essential for ongoing upkeep, then add fix projects or retainer hours as their product scales. You can upgrade your plan at any time.

Do you work with clients worldwide?

Yes. We operate entirely remote and work with clients across North America, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. All pricing is in USD. Engagements are managed asynchronously with regular video calls to align on progress.

What payment terms do you use?

For one-off projects, we require 40% upfront and the balance on delivery or milestone completion. Monthly plans are billed at the start of each period. Emergency support and consulting are invoiced immediately after the session.

Can I get a custom quote if my project doesn't fit a standard package?

Always. The prices on this page are starting anchors to give you a realistic sense of investment. Every project is different, and we'd rather scope it properly than squeeze you into a package that doesn't fit. Reach out and we'll schedule a free 20-minute discovery call.
