Fixed fees. No surprises.

Seven tiers from a free diagnostic to a full MVP sprint. Every engagement is fixed-price — no hourly billing, no scope creep.

One known bug with a clear repro

  • One bug identified and fixed
  • Root-cause report

Security Audit

$499

AI builders disable Supabase RLS by default. 47% of apps tested leak user data. We audit auth, authorisation, data exposure, and secrets. You get a fix list and optionally a patch.

Best for

Apps with paying users or sensitive data

  • Full auth and RLS audit
  • Data exposure assessment
  • Secrets and environment variable review
  • Prioritised fix list with severity ratings

3–5 days

Integration Fix

$799

One broken integration fixed end-to-end: Stripe webhooks + subscription state, OAuth + session persistence, a third-party API that returns data but never writes it. Tested, documented, deployed.

Best for

One integration that half-works

  • One integration fixed end-to-end
  • Webhook idempotency and error handling
  • Integration tests on the fixed flow
  • Deployment to production included

2 weeks

Break the Fix Loop

$3,999

AI-generated code has accumulated debt: each fix breaks two features. We audit the full codebase, extract a stable architecture, add CI/CD and tests on critical paths, and stop the spiral.

Best for

Apps stuck in a regression loop

  • Full codebase architecture audit
  • Incremental refactor to stable foundation
  • CI/CD pipeline with automated tests
  • Regression tests on revenue-generating paths

4–6 weeks

Finish My MVP

$7,499

Best for

Prototype ready for first paying users

  • Auth hardening (RLS, sessions, password reset)
  • Stripe integration end-to-end
  • CI/CD and production deployment
  • Monitoring and alerting setup
  • Architecture docs and runbooks

FAQ
Are these prices negotiable?
No. Fixed fees are how we guarantee scope and protect your budget. The price you see is the price you pay — no scope creep, no hourly overruns.
Do you offer payment plans?
For engagements above $3,999, we can split into two payments: 50% to start, 50% on delivery. Contact us to arrange this before booking.
Can I start with the free diagnostic and upgrade?
Yes — this is actually the recommended path if you're unsure of scope. The diagnostic produces a prioritised blocker list and we'll recommend the right paid tier. Many clients go from diagnostic to Triage or Integration Fix same week.
What if I need more than one integration fixed?
Book an Integration Fix for the most urgent one. If the scope is larger — multiple broken integrations plus architecture debt — we'll likely recommend the Break-the-Fix-Loop tier at $3,999.
What tools do you work with?
Lovable, Bolt.new, Cursor, Replit, v0, Windsurf, Claude Code, Base44, and hand-written TypeScript/Python. If the repo compiles and we have read access, we can work with it.
Is there a refund policy?
Emergency Triage: full refund if we can't fix the bug within 48 hours. Other tiers: we don't offer refunds once work starts, but we always show a clear deliverable scope before you pay.
Do you offer discounts for startups or non-profits?
We don't have a standard discount programme. If your situation is unusual, email us and we'll see what we can do.
