Services & pricing

One engineer.
Two ways to work together.

A development subscription for ongoing work, or a fixed-price single build to start. No hourly billing, no scope creep — and you own every line of code.

Development Membership

Most flexible

$4,000/month

For businesses with an ongoing backlog — a senior AI engineer on your team, without the $200K hire.

  • Unlimited request queue, worked one at a time
  • Something ships every week
  • AI assistants, automations, apps, integrations — any of it
  • Fractional-CTO guidance: architecture, vendor evaluation, hiring
  • Pause or cancel anytime — no contracts
  • Full source code and documentation for everything built

Single Build

Fixed price

$2,500one-time

For a first project — one scoped build, delivered in a week, that proves what's possible.

  • One scoped build: an AI assistant, an automation, or an app
  • Fixed scope agreed on a free discovery call
  • Working demo within days — steer before anything is final
  • Delivered in 7 days: deploy-ready code, docs, handoff call
  • No hourly billing, no surprise invoices
