Fixed-price packages.
No hourly billing

You pay for deliverables, not calendar time. Scope is locked in Week 1 after the Lehi strategy session. If scope grows, we write a new fixed-price addendum — never an open meter.

# faq

Pricing questions, answered.

What does a fixed-price package actually cover?+
A scoped deliverable with a fixed dollar amount, agreed in Week 1 after the Lehi strategy session. If the scope grows, we write a new fixed-price addendum rather than running an open meter. No hourly billing, ever.
Why $10k as the entry point?+
It's the floor for a genuine production MVP with real auth, a real AWS backend, and an App Store release. Below that number, what you're buying is a prototype someone else will have to rebuild. We don't sell that.
What does "50% lower cloud cost" mean?+
We pre-build reusable AWS components — auth, billing, observability, API scaffolding, cost guardrails — from 100+ prior engagements. Your project doesn't pay for us to reinvent them. Typical infra bill lands ~50% below greenfield builds.
Do we own the code?+
Yes, from the first commit. Your GitHub org, your AWS account, your App Store / Play Store listing. No vendor lock-in, no "managed service" wrapper you can't turn off.
What if you disappear, get acquired, or we want to leave?+
You already own everything. Code, IaC, runbooks, AWS account ownership, accounts on every tool. A decent senior engineer can pick up where we left off because we document for that scenario.
Are you remote or local?+
HQ in Lehi, Utah. Face-to-face strategy sessions are available there (or SLC). Engineering is distributed across Lehi, San Diego, Phoenix, and Denver. We fly to you when it matters.
Do you work with founders, or only funded companies?+
Both. The MVP Launch tier is sized for pre-seed / seed founders. Full Cycle and Enterprise land with funded companies. We care more about whether the product should exist than what line in a cap table pays for it.
