Fixed-price tiers,scoped after discovery.
Four build tiers from $2,500 to $20,000+. Every engagement starts with paid discovery and a written spec doc. The exact quote lands there, not before.
Paid Discovery
Every build starts with a paid discovery phase, $250-400 depending on complexity. The deliverable is a written spec doc covering:
- Feature list, scoped to what the build will and won't include
- Tech stack recommendation with reasoning
- Hosting plan on your infrastructure
- Fixed-price quote for the full build
The discovery fee is credited toward the build if you move forward. If you don't, you keep the spec doc and can take it to any developer.

Tiers
Ranges below are starting bands. The exact number lands in the spec doc after discovery.
Starter
A single-purpose tool. One job, done well.
- One core feature, scoped tight
- Minimal UI, focused on the workflow
- Suitable for internal tools or single-page utilities
Standard
Most commonA multi-feature tool with light integrations.
- Several connected features inside one product
- Light third-party integrations (auth, payments, email, one external API)
- Sensible UI patterns across views, basic admin surface
Pro
A full custom application with multiple roles and integrations.
- Multi-role access (admin, end user, optional public surfaces)
- Multiple integrations and webhook-driven flows
- Production-grade error handling, observability, and admin tooling
Custom
Larger or more complex builds. Quoted from the spec doc.
- Multi-application or multi-tenant systems
- Heavier compliance, security, or migration scope
- Complex integration surfaces with multiple external systems
What ships with every build
Hosting on your infrastructure
We provision the deploy on accounts you own — Vercel, AWS, Cloudflare, your VPS, your call. You keep root access, billing, and DNS. Nothing is hostage on our side.
Full product documentation
Architecture overview, environment variables, deploy steps, third-party accounts, runbook for the things that break first. Written for whoever owns the system after we hand over.
30 days of bug-fix support post-launch
If what we specced isn't working as specced, we fix it on us within 30 days of launch. Anything outside the spec — new features, scope changes, additions you decide you want — triggers a new SOW.
Answers to the questions we actually get.
How does the paid discovery phase work?
Discovery starts at $250-400 depending on project complexity. The deliverable is a written spec doc covering the feature list, recommended tech stack, hosting plan, and a fixed-price quote for the build. If you decide to move forward with the build, the discovery fee is credited toward the project. If you don't, you keep the spec doc and can take it to any developer.
What's included in every tier?
Every Build Services tier includes hosting setup on your own infrastructure (your accounts, your control), full product documentation covering architecture and operations, and 30 days of bug-fix support after launch. A bug means what we specced isn't working as specced. New feature requests, scope expansions, or fixes for things outside the original spec trigger a new statement of work.
How are the tier ranges decided?
Each tier is a starting band, not a hard cap. The exact number lands in the spec doc after discovery, once we know the feature list, integrations, and hosting plan. Discovery is what turns a band into a fixed quote.
What if my project doesn't fit cleanly into a tier?
It probably will land in Custom. The Starter, Standard, and Pro bands cover the common shapes; anything multi-tenant, regulated, or with unusual integration scope gets quoted from the spec doc directly.
How does payment work?
Discovery is paid upfront. Build engagements are split — typically half at kickoff, half at handover, with milestone splits available on Pro and Custom builds. Discovery fees credit toward the build invoice if you move forward.
