Monthly SaaS
(Jobber, HubSpot, etc.)
Jobber. Urable. HubSpot. You signed up for one feature you needed and got 200 you don’t. Every month the bill renews. Every year the price creeps up. What if you only paid once — for software that does exactly what your business actually needs?
That’s why you’re paying for 200 features and using 15. Here’s what that actually costs you.
$150/month = $5,400 over three years. Cancel and everything you built inside vanishes. You’re funding someone else’s product roadmap, not your own.
You use scheduling and invoicing. They charge you for AI chatbots, campaign builders, and 180 other features you’ll never open. But your bill includes all of them.
Hire a new team member? That’s another $15–$75/month per seat. Your software cost grows every time your business does. Custom software: unlimited users, zero seat fees.
Run the numbers on what you’re already spending.
A $6,000 custom build costs $5.50/day for the first three years. Then it’s free. Forever. The SaaS subscription? Still billing you.
Lingenfelter Auto Spa replaced spreadsheets, paper tickets, and three separate SaaS tools with one integrated platform they own.
An automotive detailing and PPF shop that was juggling Jobber, Google Sheets, and paper tickets. Now they run everything from one dashboard they own outright.

Not anymore. Modern frameworks and free-tier hosting have dropped the cost of custom software by 60–70%. A small business CRM that would have cost $40,000+ five years ago now starts at $2,500–$6,000 — less than what many businesses spend on SaaS subscriptions over the same period. If you have 1–50 employees and you’re paying monthly for tools that don’t quite fit, custom software is now within reach.
Yes. Platforms like Vercel and Netlify offer generous free tiers that most small business apps never outgrow. No credit card required, no hidden fees. We configure this as part of every build. If your app eventually outgrows the free tier, paid plans start at $20/month — not $200.
Our Starter tier ($2,500–$5,000) covers landing pages, lead capture, scheduling tools, and simple internal tools — all with $0/month hosting and mobile-responsive design. Many small businesses start here and expand later as they grow. We scope every project individually and give you a fixed price upfront. No hourly billing surprises.
Two options. Pay-per-change: email us what you need, we quote it, you approve, we build it. No retainer required. Monthly retainer ($750/mo): covers ongoing updates, bug fixes, and small feature additions with priority response. Either way, you own the code — you can also hire any developer to maintain it.
Starter projects: 1–2 weeks. Full CRM or internal tool: 4–8 weeks. We show you progress every two weeks during the build, and you get a 60-day satisfaction guarantee on the finished product.
100%. The codebase, the design, the deployment — it’s all yours. No vendor lock-in. Want to hire another developer later? Go for it. Want to sell the business and the software goes with it? It does.
