When custom software is the right answer
When off-the-shelf can't fit your workflow, the integrations don't exist, or AI needs your proprietary data. We help you decide quickly — most discovery calls end with us recommending an off-the-shelf tool instead of a custom build, because that's usually cheaper and faster.
What we build
Internal admin dashboards, customer portals, lead-routing and assignment systems, AI-powered search and Q&A tools over your docs, custom CRMs for niche industries, marketing automation platforms when standard tools don't fit, and API integrations between disconnected systems.
Our stack
Modern TypeScript across the board: TanStack Start / Next.js / Vite + React frontend, Node + Postgres backend, Supabase for auth + DB + storage, Cloudflare or Vercel for hosting. AI on OpenAI/Anthropic APIs. We don't use bespoke or legacy stacks that make handoff expensive.
Frequently asked
How much does a custom software project cost?
Discovery + design: $3,500–$10,000. MVP build: $15,000–$80,000 depending on scope. Most SMB internal tools land in the $25,000–$60,000 range for a 6–10 week build. We give a fixed fee after discovery.
Will I own the code?
Yes — always. All code is in your GitHub or GitLab, all infrastructure is in your accounts, and all credentials transfer to you. No vendor lock-in.
Can you maintain the software after launch?
Yes. Maintenance retainers run $1,500–$8,000/month covering bug fixes, infrastructure, security patches, and small feature additions. We can also coach your in-house engineer or hand off cleanly to another vendor.
