From the first plan to an app that keeps getting better
Three steps for a new app, one for an app or system that already exists. You know the price before anything is built.
A new app
- 1Solver€590We take the problem apart and show the answer as a prototype you can click. You get a fixed offer for the build.More
- 2Buildfrom €1,990We build the app on the framework. One module and one role, any number of screens, with three months of Care Start.More
- 3Carefrom €99 a monthA warranty on the app, monitoring, framework updates, backups and fixes, and the app gets better every month from real use.More
An app or system that already exists
Rescuefrom €1,390For apps built with Lovable, Bolt, v0 or Cursor, and for older systems, that people now depend on: an audit, fixes in order of risk, a move onto the framework.The difference
Custom where it matters. Proven everywhere else.
Every business app needs the same foundations: roles, approvals, history, tables that work on a phone. We built them once, so your budget goes into what is yours.

Why not just use Notion, Airtable or an AI app builder?
Use them where they fit. Off-the-shelf tools are cheap, but your process bends to them and the real work ends up in a spreadsheet next to them. AI app builders get a first version working fast, then stall at roles, real data and someone who answers for the app. We build exactly what your process needs, on a framework that already handles the hard, invisible parts.
How can you cost less than an agency? Where’s the catch?
There is less to build. An agency starts every client from a blank page and bills you again for tables, forms, roles and approvals. Those come ready from our framework, tested in every app we ship, so you pay only for what is unique to your business. The framework also gives your app things an app built from scratch rarely gets, because the budget runs out first: a precise UI and UX, better motion, keyboard shortcuts and many small details that make an app pleasant to work in. AI writes much of the code; a person designs the app, reviews every change and answers for it.
Who answers for the app, and what if you’re not around?
One named person answers for your app. Within Care we stand behind it: we monitor it and fix what breaks. If you would rather develop it with your own developers, we hand over the code, the data and a handover guide. You own the app and its code, and your licence for the framework lasts as long as the app runs, even if you leave us. And if you want more freedom, you can buy the whole framework and use it however you like.
Who owns the code?
You own your app and its code. The framework underneath stays ours, and your app gets a licence to use it for as long as it runs. Framework updates come with your Care subscription.
How long does it take?
Solver comes first and ends with a fixed offer that includes the timeline for your Build. While we build, you follow progress on a preview link.
Can it connect to the tools we already use?
Yes, as long as the tool has an API. Each integration with one of your tools is built once and tested, a simple one from €390, a two-way one or one with an ERP or accounting system from €990. Keeping it working when the other side changes is part of Care.
Where does our data live, and is it safe?
On your own accounts if you prefer to hold the keys, or we run the app for you as a Hosting add-on to Care, with daily backups. Who can read and change what is enforced in the database too, not only on the screen.
Do we need Care?
Every Build comes with three months of Care Start. After that you choose a level of Care or take the app over yourself. With Care we stand behind the app, you get framework updates and the app improves from real use. More about Care.
Can you take over an app someone built with AI, or an old system?
Yes, that is what Rescue is for: an audit first, then fixes in order of risk, then a move onto the framework. It suits apps made with AI tools as well as older systems you want rebuilt on the framework. Whatever works stays.
