A predictable, three-step path
Step 1: a fixed-fee audit (from $2,500). Instead of an open-ended estimate, we review the actual app: security, auth, data, scale, hosting, and compliance. You get a prioritized report and, importantly, a fixed quote to fix it.
Step 2: a scoped hardening sprint (from $5,000). We do the work: secure it, make it scale, and stand it up on production-grade infrastructure, against the fixed quote from the audit.
Step 3: managed or build (retainer). Optional. Keep it running and growing, or build the next version with us.
What drives the number
- How many security and auth issues exist, and how deep they go.
- Whether the data model and database need rework.
- Compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI add scope).
- Hosting, deployment, and monitoring setup.
- How much you want us to own going forward.
Why fixed-fee first matters: it caps your risk. You spend a known, modest amount to find out exactly what production costs, before committing to the larger number.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to make my app production ready?
It depends on the app, which is why we start with a fixed-fee Production-Readiness Audit from $2,500. The audit gives you a fixed quote for the full fix, so there are no surprises.
Why not just give a flat price?
Because a responsible quote needs to see the code first. The audit is the fast, low-cost way to scope the work precisely.
What is the typical range for the fix?
Hardening sprints start at $5,000 and are scoped from the audit. Larger or compliance-heavy builds cost more, but you see the fixed number before you commit.
