Our Primary Engagement Model
Ongoing Engineering
Partnership.
A monthly subscription for consistent access to senior engineers who already know your business, your systems, and your priorities. We plan, build, and maintain — the same way an internal team would, without the hiring risk.
No scope documents. No change orders. When priorities shift, you call or email and we fold it into the roadmap.
Pricing reflects typical starting ranges — every engagement is scoped individually based on velocity and workload.
Subscription Plans

Licensing & Ownership
Standard Partnership
Software built during an active subscription is licensed for your use as part of the partnership. If the subscription ends, access to the software is paused.
The Buyout Option
Full ownership is always an option via a clear buyout path. This keeps upfront costs low while preserving flexibility as your needs evolve.
Before You Ask
Common pricing questions.
What's the minimum commitment?
Month-to-month. We don't lock you into long contracts. Pause or cancel at the end of any monthly cycle. Most partners stay for years because the work speaks for itself.
Is this really cheaper than hiring?
Significantly. A senior developer runs $15k–$18k/month fully loaded. For a fraction of that you get architecture, security, engineering, and ongoing maintenance. Zero hiring risk or management overhead.
What happens when priorities change or I have a new idea?
You call or email. That's it. No change orders, no re-scoping, no renegotiation. We keep a shared roadmap and fold new priorities in as they come up. That's the whole point of a subscription instead of a fixed contract.
How is this different from a development agency?
Agencies optimize for handoffs; we optimize for partnership. You get continuous engineering capacity, not a one-time delivery. We keep context on your business, so improvements compound over time.
Other Ways to Work With Us
Not every engagement starts as a subscription. We offer fixed-scope projects for teams that need a defined outcome with a clear price.
Fixed-Scope Proposals
Need a clear picture of scope, timeline, and cost before committing? We offer fixed-scope proposals to align on expectations upfront.

Defined Builds
New feature sets, MVP launches, or clearly scoped builds with specific outcomes and deliverables.
Short-term Advisory
Architecture audits, security reviews, or technical strategy for leadership teams.
A Note on Pricing
"We measure success in momentum. Not billable hours."
