Custom software, ready to launch in 30 to 45 days.
A custom product ready to launch in 30–45 days, at a fixed price. For founders with an idea and a budget, and for regulated, complex, offline, integration-heavy or high-scale products.
- Fixed price
- Fixed date
- You own everything
Sound familiar?
You need it built properly, without being burned
“You've heard the stories about developers who vanish halfway through.”
“Hourly billing means you never know the final number.”
“Your product handles money, health data or field work, so a prototype won't do.”
“You need it to work offline, connect to other systems or carry real load.”
How it works
From blueprint to launch
Agree exactly what we're building
Users, must-have flows, a prototype and the architecture. You finish with a fixed price and a fixed date.
Two-week sprints with live demos
You see working software every fortnight, so there are no surprises at the end.
Testing, security and load
We test it the way real customers and real traffic will.
Go live, with support after
Web launch or app store submission on the agreed date, then post-launch support.

The terms
What you can hold us to
- Fixed price and fixed date, agreed after the blueprint.
- You own everything: code, accounts, domain and store listings.
- One-time project fee, plus optional annual support. Never per user.
- Your fixed date is the agreed web launch or app store submission date.
- Apple, Google and Meta set their own review times, which are outside our control.
This is for you if
- You have an idea and a budget, but not the time or skill to build it
- Your product is regulated, such as fintech or health
- You need offline use, complex integrations or high scale
This isn't for you if
- You already have a working AI-built app. The Sprint is faster
- You want the cheapest possible prototype
- You'd like to pay by the hour with an open-ended scope
Common questions
Questions about the Custom Build
How can you commit to 30–45 days?+
The blueprint comes first. We agree users, must-have flows and architecture before quoting, and build on modules already running for 200+ businesses where they fit. Larger or heavily regulated products may need a phased plan, which we'll say up front.
Does that include app store approval?+
The date covers web launch or app store submission. Apple and Google set their own review times, which are outside our control.
Who owns the code?+
You do. Code, accounts, domain and store listings are all in your name from the start.
Can you build for regulated industries?+
Yes. Tell us your regulatory requirements in the blueprint, and we'll design for them. We'll also tell you where you need a specialist lawyer or auditor alongside us.
What happens after launch?+
Post-launch support is part of the build. After that, an optional annual Care Plan covers bug fixes, security patches, OS and app store updates, hosting, backups and uptime monitoring.
