We build custom web apps, SaaS MVPs, and internal tools for US businesses whose processes don't fit off-the-shelf software. Built by a Costa Rica-based team with engineering background, on EST/CST, at a fraction of US agency rates.
Get your product in front of real users in 8–16 weeks. We validate, scope, build, and launch your MVP, fast enough to learn, solid enough to scale.
Complex business logic, multi-role systems, client portals, admin dashboards: we build full-stack web apps that replace spreadsheets and manual processes.
Operations dashboards, internal CRMs, onboarding systems, and inventory tools custom-built for how your team actually works, not how a SaaS vendor thinks you should.
REST and GraphQL APIs that power your product or connect your existing systems. We also integrate third-party APIs for payments, shipping, communication, and more.
Add LLM-powered features to your product: document analysis, content generation, conversational search, smart recommendations.
Old desktop software, Access databases, or systems no one wants to touch: we rebuild them as modern web apps without losing your existing data or workflows.
Costa Rica is on CST/EST. Daily standups during your business day, not async ping-pong with offshore teams 12 hours behind. Faster iteration, fewer misunderstandings.
Without Manhattan office overhead and US-tier engineering salaries. Same modern stack, same engineering quality, dramatically lower cost.
From day one, every line of code is yours. We commit to your repo (or set one up). No proprietary tools, no licensing traps. If you want to take it in-house or to another team later, you can.
Our team builds the software directly. No layer of US account managers reselling work to subcontractors. The person you talk to is the person writing the code.
We don't experiment with client projects. We use battle-tested technologies that scale and that your future team can maintain.
Requirements gathering, user story mapping, and architecture design. We don't write code until the scope is locked and agreed.
A detailed proposal with deliverables, milestones, timeline, and cost. No vague estimates: you know exactly what you're buying.
Agile development with bi-weekly demos. You see working software every 2 weeks, not a finished product after 6 months of silence.
Production deployment, performance monitoring, and 60 days of post-launch support included. We stay until your users are happy.
Every project starts with a free discovery call. We scope your requirements, give you a fixed-price proposal, and only start building once we're aligned.
1 core workflow, basic auth, admin panel, deployment. 8–12 weeks. Ideal for validation before scaling.
3–5 features, integrations, multi-role system, full deployment. 16–24 weeks.
Complex systems, AI features, high-scale architecture, dedicated team. Ongoing engagement.
Custom software is more expensive than SaaS up front. We say this openly because pretending otherwise leads to wasted budgets.
When custom wins:
When SaaS wins:
We assess this honestly in the discovery call. If your case fits SaaS better, we'll tell you and recommend specific tools. We'd rather lose a project than build something you'll abandon.
We don't publish flat pricing because every project is different. Scope, integrations, complexity, and timeline all change what makes sense. After a 30-minute discovery call, you'll get a custom proposal with clear deliverables, fixed price for the build, and optional monthly retainer for ongoing development. Cost is typically a fraction of what comparable US dev shops charge for equivalent scope.
A focused MVP with one core flow typically launches in 8 to 12 weeks. Full SaaS platforms with multiple user types, payments, and complex logic take 12 to 24 weeks. We deliver iteratively; you see working software in weeks, not at the end of a 6-month timeline.
You do, from day one. Every commit goes to your repo (or one we set up for you). No proprietary frameworks, no licensing traps, no 'we keep the code' clauses. If you want to take it in-house or to another team later, the codebase is fully yours with documentation.
We pick stack based on the problem, not on fashion. Common defaults: TypeScript for both frontend and backend, React/Next.js for web apps, Node.js or Python for backend, PostgreSQL for relational data, Vercel/AWS/Cloudflare for deployment. We choose mature, well-supported tools you can hire for, not exotic niche frameworks.
Yes, often. We can lead a project end-to-end, augment your existing team for specific phases, or hand off to your team after the initial build. Most engagements that work well treat us as a temporary expansion of your team, not a black-box vendor.
Optional monthly retainer covers monitoring, security updates, bug fixes, and small improvements. Larger feature work is scoped separately. You can also bring everything in-house at any time; we hand off cleanly with documentation, deployment guides, and architecture diagrams.
Software development always involves changes once you see things working. We work in 2-week sprints with checkpoints; if priorities shift, we adjust scope at the next sprint, not mid-flight. Major scope changes get a clear conversation about timeline and cost impact, not a surprise later.
Tell us about your project and we'll send you a free scope and timeline assessment, no commitment required.
