Simple pricing.
Serious software.

Anyone can spin up a demo. We help you ship software that actually works. Built on the right decisions, not just the latest tools.

How It Works

Two modes. No lock-in.

Start with a conversation, validate with a prototype, then toggle between active development and maintenance as your product evolves.

01
Free

Talk to Us

Have a conversation about your idea. We’ll bring 20+ years of product experience to help you pressure-test it before you spend a dollar.

  • No commitment, no RFPs
  • Honest assessment of feasibility and fit
  • Identify the real risks before they become expensive mistakes

Prototype

Validate before you build. We shape the scope collaboratively with discovery, architecture, and a clickable prototype so you can pressure-test the idea before committing to a full build.

  • Discovery, requirements, and architecture decisions, made upfront
  • Wireframes and clickable prototype for validation
  • A clear scope document you can hold us to

A prototype and scope document. Not a slide deck.

03
Build ModeFrom $7,000/mo

Active Development

The build phase. Designers, product thinkers, and engineers building together. Not just writing code, but making hundreds of small decisions that compound into a product users actually want.

  • Dedicated design, development, testing, and deployment
  • Senior team, end-to-end. No handoffs to junior devs
  • Monthly billing, cancel anytime

Shipped, deployed software in production. Not a demo, not a staging link.

04
Maintenance ModeFrom $1,250/mo

Maintenance & Support

Not every month needs a full build. Switch to maintenance mode for ongoing support at a fraction of the cost, and switch back to active development whenever you’re ready.

  • Bug fixes, security patches, and performance monitoring
  • Minor changes estimated under 4 hours each
  • Switch back to active development anytime

Build Cycles

Month-to-month. Build, pause, resume.

Each cycle is a self-contained unit of work. When one finishes, you choose what happens next: another build, maintenance mode, or a pause. No lock-in.

Cash, equity, or a mix of both.

Equity reduces your monthly cost. The more skin we have in the game, the less you pay out of pocket.

We're partners, not vendors. When you succeed, we succeed.

What You Get

AI builds fast. Experience builds right.

Tools can generate code. They can't make product decisions, navigate compliance, or tell you which corner you're about to cut. We can.

20+ years of product experience. Designers, product thinkers, and engineers who’ve shipped at every scale

The right decisions upfront: architecture, compliance, and scalability. Not just pretty pixels

A real foundation. Software that survives contact with actual users, not just a demo

Fixed prices, small engagements. Start lean, expand when it makes sense

Shipped software in production, not a prototype dressed up as a product

A partner with skin in the game. We succeed when you succeed

Aligned Interests

We're looking for partners, not projects.

Our best work happens when we're invested in the outcome, not just the output.

Equity & revenue-share models

Long-term relationships, not one-off sprints

Your success metrics are ours
