One price.
Everything after
is building.

Build what you actually want to build, with three people who care how it is made and think it through before writing it. $3,900 a month per queue, month to month, with everything included in that one price.

01 / The unit

You are buying a queue.

You can put as many requests in it as you like and reorder them whenever you want, and we work through them one at a time.

An example queue. Illustration, not a live board.

  5. User roles and permissions Feature

Add as many requests as you like and put them in whatever order suits you. One is worked at a time, it comes back to you for review, and you reorder what is left whenever priorities move.

02 / The plan

One plan, month to month.

Everything is in the one price. You are paying for senior people and the freedom to change your mind.

$3,900 /mo per queue

Billed monthly

Commitment
One month
  • Unlimited requests in your queue: worked one at a time
  • Unlimited revisions, never billed
  • Average turnaround 48–72 hours
  • Full code ownership, transferred on request
  • Cancel whenever you like: the plan runs to the end of what you paid for

No setup fee, no change orders, no per-seat pricing.

One week of the real queue, paid once.

Same people, same queue, run exactly the way a full plan runs. Long enough to judge how we communicate and what we are like to build with, and what comes out of the week depends on what you put into it. No term, no renewal, nothing to cancel.

$1,200 one-off, one week

Where the price comes from

Lower than an agency retainer for three reasons: there is no overhead to carry, a good deal of what you would be paying us to build already exists, and the three of us work directly with you, so there is nobody in between to brief or wait for.

Who writes the code The three partners
Account managers None
Sales team None
Bench between projects None
Offices None

Nothing about the engineering is cheaper.

What already exists is specific: authentication, deployment, background jobs and the infrastructure underneath them, carried from one project to the next rather than rebuilt and billed for again.

Managed Infrastructure + Critical Support

Hosting, infrastructure, and critical issue coverage for your live application.

Your application stays hosted, monitored and running on infrastructure we manage. On the day something critical breaks, the people who wrote the code are the people who answer. Most months nothing happens. That is what you are paying for.

$400 /mo per app

Ask about support

What this covers

  • Reachable Monday to Friday, 9:00–17:00
  • Something critical breaks: the app is down, checkout fails, data will not load, and you have someone to call
  • We get it running again: restarts, rollbacks, restored backups, infrastructure
  • Uptime and error monitoring, so usually we see it before you do
  • Priced per application, not per queue: there is no queue
  • Start a full plan again any month, in one message

What it does not cover

  • Infrastructure costs
  • Feature work
  • Bug fixes and improvements: those start a plan again
  • Evenings and weekends
  • A request queue

Enterprise

Same team, same queues, on infrastructure your security officer and your regulator will both sign off on.

  • GDPR: data handling built to the regulation, and to your security policy where you have one
  • Your cloud: AWS, Azure, Google, or on-premise
  • Your regions: data stays where your regulator says
  • Uptime in the contract: an SLA, not a promise
  • No single point of failure: multi-zone, automatic failover
  • Backed up off-site: recovery tested, not assumed
  • Scales with traffic: no call, no surprise invoice
  • Your logins: SSO, two-factor, permission by permission
  • Watched around the clock: 24/7 cover for platform outages
  • The coolest people you can talk to: written into the contract

03 / Included

On every plan: no tiers, no add-ons.

Every client gets all of it and nothing here is an upgrade. It describes the queue plan. Managed infrastructure and critical support is cover rather than development, and says plainly above what it does and does not do.

  • Unlimited requests in your queue: worked one at a time
  • Unlimited revisions, never billed
  • Average turnaround 48–72 hours
  • Frontend, backend and infrastructure
  • Reorder the queue any time, at no cost
  • PM tool access: queue and work in flight
  • Full code ownership, transferred on request
  • Cancel whenever you like: the plan runs to the end of what you paid for
  • No setup fee, no change orders, no per-seat pricing
Setup fee None
Change orders None, revisions are never extra
Two things at once Two queues, same price each
Code ownership Yours, transferred whenever you ask

04 / Questions about price

Everything else you would want to know about the money.

Questions about the process are on how it works.

What exactly does a queue get me?

Unlimited requests and unlimited revisions in one queue, worked one at a time in whatever order you set. $3,900 a month per queue, month to month, and that one price is the whole of it. No tiers, no setup fee and no change orders.

Are there any other costs?

No hidden fees and nothing billed on top: no setup fee, no change orders and no per-seat pricing. Anything in your own name, like a domain or a service you hold the account for, stays yours, and we never mark it up or put it through us.

When am I billed?

Monthly in advance, from the day you start. There is no notice period and no cancellation fee.

What happens when I stop?

The plan runs to the end of what you have paid for and then does not renew. Your queue, code and environments stay exactly where you left them, and restarting later takes one message. There is no re-onboarding and no fee to come back.

What if I need two things built at once?

You run two queues. Each queue is worked one item at a time, so a second stream of work means a second queue at the same price.

Can I try it before committing to a term?

Yes. A pilot is $1,200, paid once: one week of working together, run exactly the way a full plan runs. It is time to see how we communicate and what we are like to build with, and what comes out of the week depends on what you put into it. It is not a subscription and it does not renew. Open to any new client, once.
