The problem

Per-seat pricing charges you for growing.

Every new hire raises a bill you already pay. Every workflow you need sits behind the next tier. And if you take bookings through a marketplace, 15–30% of each one leaves before you see it. Either way the data describing how your business runs lives in a database you cannot reach.

The catalogue

Every app is running right now.

The numbers

What per-seat actually costs over three years.

The comparison that matters is not licence against licence. It is a bill that grows every time you hire against one that does not move. Set the two controls to your situation.

Replacing
40 users
Subscription, year one$31,200$65/user/month
Subscription, three years$93,600and it does not stop there
Owned, three years$6,720fitted build, plus your own hosting

Saves $86,880 over three years, and your next hire adds nothing.

Illustrative. Subscription figures use publicly listed 2026 rates for typical mid-tier plans and exclude implementation and customisation. Ours is a fitted build from $2,400 plus self-hosting at $120 a month, paid to your own cloud provider. We are independent of and unaffiliated with any of these vendors.

Why now

Why that gap suddenly exists.

A difference that large usually means a catch. Here it is simply that one half of the equation moved. Subscription software won for twenty years because building your own was the expensive, slow, risky option. It is not any more.

Two things changed. Application scaffolding became genuinely reusable, and the cost of producing a screen fell by roughly an order of magnitude. The licence bill did not fall with it.

On-demand

Booking apps that do not take a cut.

A marketplace charges 15–30% of every booking, and keeps the customer relationship you paid for. These are built the other way round: your brand on the app icon, your customer list in your database, and the source code in your repository.

  • Customer appBook, pay, rebook. iPhone and Android, your icon on the home screen.
  • Provider appThe stylist, driver or engineer sees their own day and marks it done.
  • Admin consolePricing, staff, availability and the money, in a browser.

Through your own app

$100reaches you

At forty bookings a month, that is $600–1,200 you never see, on the same work.

Card processing still applies. The commission does not.

How it works

From clicking around to going live.

Four steps, and the first one needs nothing from us. Times below are what it usually takes, not what it could take.

  1. 01Right now

    Click through the real thing

    Every app in the catalogue is deployed and running. You open it, move a deal, receive stock, approve a claim. No sales call stands between you and the software.

  2. 02About an hour

    Tell us what is different about you

    One call. We map your stages, your approval thresholds, your document numbering and the two integrations that matter. You leave with a written scope and a fixed price, not a discovery retainer.

  3. 03One to three weeks

    We fit it to your process

    Fields, rules, roles, branding and the integrations agreed in scope. You see it on a staging URL from day two and comment as it goes, rather than reviewing at the end.

  4. 04One week in parallel

    Migration and go-live

    We move your existing records in, run both systems side by side, and train the team on the screens they will actually use. Go-live is a scheduled event with a rollback plan, not a hopeful Friday.

Pricing

Three ways in.

The same source code in every case. What changes is how much of the shaping we do before it is yours.

Template

The app as it stands, source code included.

From $479one-time

  • Unlimited users, forever
  • Deploy to your own cloud account

What ownership means

Not a licence. The actual code.

On delivery the repository moves to your organisation. There is no licence server, no seat count and nothing that phones home.

  • TypeScript
  • PostgreSQL
  • Next.js
your-org/operations-erp-suiteYours on delivery
  • Application source, database schema, migrations and deployment config
  • Hosted in your cloud account, or on-premise where residency requires it
  • Mainstream stack, so anyone can maintain it
  • Twelve months of updates included with every purchase
  • Extend it yourself, hire a third party, or keep us on. Your call, permanently

The same transfer happens whether you buy a template or a fitted build.

Questions

Questions, answered plainly.

The six we are asked before every purchase. None of the answers change once you are a customer.

Not covered here?

Ask a consultant directly. No form to fill in first, and no follow-up sequence.

Book a consultantAll questions
Do I really get the source code?

Yes. On delivery the repository is transferred to your organisation, application code, database schema, migrations, seed data and deployment configuration. There is no obfuscation, no licence server and no phone-home. If we disappeared tomorrow your software would keep running and any competent developer could pick it up.

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay once for the app. The only recurring cost is hosting, which you pay to your own cloud provider and which typically lands between $50 and $200 a month depending on size. We never charge per user, per record or per workflow.

What happens after the twelve months of updates?

Nothing breaks. Updates are improvements, not a licence renewal; the software you have keeps working indefinitely. You can extend updates, bring maintenance in-house, or hire any other developer, because the code is yours and it is written in a mainstream stack.

Where does it run?

Your infrastructure. Most clients deploy to Vercel, AWS, Azure or a single VPS; some run it entirely on-premise for data residency reasons. If you would rather not manage it, we offer managed hosting as a separate, cancellable arrangement. It is never a condition of purchase.

How is this different from a no-code tool?

No-code platforms are quick to start and hard to leave: your logic lives in their runtime and your data lives in their database. These are ordinary applications in TypeScript and PostgreSQL. You can read them, test them, extend them and host them anywhere.

Can you connect it to the systems we already run?

Usually. We regularly integrate accounting, payment, email, storage, identity and shipping providers. Two integrations are included in a fitted build; anything with a documented API can be scoped, and we will say plainly when a legacy system has no sane integration path.
