Code You Own

Your SaaS Stack Is Bleeding You Dry

You don't own a single line of the software running your business. One price hike, one shutdown, one pricing-tier reshuffle — and you're stuck rebuilding on someone else's schedule.

You're Renting, Not Owning

$200, $500, $2,000 per month — forever. Stop paying, lose everything. Ten years in, you've paid for the software six times over and still own nothing.

Your Data Is Hostage

Cancel your subscription? The CSV export is locked behind the top tier. Migrate to a competitor? Hope you like 40 hours of manual re-entry. Your data isn't really yours.

One Bankruptcy From Starting Over

Your vendor pivots, gets acquired, or just quietly dies. Your workflow vanishes overnight. Every feature you trained your team on is now a 404 page.

Software Built for Your Business. Owned By Your Business.

We write the code. You keep it. We deploy to your infrastructure. You hold the keys. No escrow. No licensing games.

You Own the Code

Every line in your private GitHub org. MIT-licensed to your company. Hire another dev, fork it, extend it — we don't care. It's yours, permanently.

You Own the Data

Deployed to your Supabase, your AWS, your Vercel. Raw SQL access. No black-box exports. If we vanish tomorrow, your business runs fine on Monday.

Pay Once, Not Forever

One-time build cost. Hosting & infra runs at actual cost (~$60/mo for most apps). The ROI breaks even around month 8 — then it's pure savings, forever.

Six Weapons in Our Arsenal

Every build is custom-fitted to your business. But they usually fall into one of these.

Custom Web Apps

Dashboards, portals, marketplaces, SaaS platforms — built on React / Next.js with Supabase or Postgres. Production-grade, not no-code jank.

Native Mobile Apps

Real iOS and Android apps with React Native & Expo. Published to your App Store account. One codebase, two stores, zero ongoing license fees.

Internal Tools

Ops dashboards, admin panels, data pipelines, import wizards. Replace the 14-tab spreadsheet your team has been suffering with since 2019.

SaaS Replacements

That $800/mo tool you hate? We clone the 20% of features you actually use, skip the bloat, and deliver it in 1-4 weeks. You'll cancel the sub by Friday.

AI Integrations

OpenAI, Anthropic, custom models — wired into your existing workflows, not a separate chatbot nobody uses. RAG, agents, automation, voice.

Automation & Workflows

Zapier-killer scripts that don't nickel-and-dime you per task. Event-driven, self-hosted, and they don't break when a random third-party updates their API.

Five Steps. One Owner at the End.

No mystery. No status meetings about status meetings. Here's exactly how you go from "rented SaaS" to "owned software."

01

Strike Call

30 min. What you use now, what's broken, what you actually need. No slide deck.

02

Blueprint

Within a week: fixed scope, fixed price, architecture diagram, delivery date.

03

Build

Weekly demos. Live staging URL from day one. You watch it get built.

04

Launch

Deploy to your domain, your infrastructure. Data migrated. Team trained. Go live.

05

Handoff

GitHub repo transferred. Infra access handed over. You own everything. We're on call if you want.

Real Products. Real Businesses That Own Them.

We don't do portfolio screenshots. We ship products that run entire companies.

SaaS vs. Low-Code vs. Custom-Built

Every path has tradeoffs. Here's what you actually get with each.

What You Get Typical SaaS Low-Code Platform SaaSassins
You own the source code ✓ Yours
You own the data & database Limited exports Vendor-locked ✓ Direct access
One-time cost, not recurring Forever Forever ✓ Once
Immune to vendor price hikes ✓ Yes
Custom-built for your workflow Generic Template-based ✓ Bespoke
Survives the vendor dying You die too Stack is stuck ✓ Runs forever
Can be modified by any dev Never Only certified devs ✓ Any dev
Scales without per-seat pricing Per user $$ Per record $$ ✓ Flat

What Are You Really Paying?

Add up what you spend on SaaS subscriptions across your whole stack. Here's the lifetime damage — and what custom-built would cost instead.

Staying on SaaS
$67,200
Custom build + infra

Estimates. Typical custom build ~$5K one-time + ~$60/mo infra. Your build may be lower or higher — we'll quote it in the Strike Call.

Before You Ask.

The questions every serious prospect has. Straight answers, no sales fluff.

Most projects land between $3K and $15K one-time, depending on scope. A simple internal tool? $2–5K. A full platform replacing 4–5 SaaS tools? $8–15K. You get a fixed quote in writing after the Strike Call — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
4–12 weeks for most projects. Internal tools: 3–5 weeks. Full operational platforms with mobile: 8–12 weeks. You see a working staging URL within the first week and weekly demos after that — no "trust us, it's going great" black box.
Yes. Full IP assignment in the contract. Code lives in your GitHub org from day one. Database is deployed to your Supabase/AWS account. If we got hit by a bus tomorrow, your business runs fine the next morning.
Three options. One: we do it on a retainer or hourly. Two: you hire any developer who knows React and TypeScript — the code is clean, documented, and not a proprietary framework. Three: your own engineering team takes over. All equally valid. We're not trying to trap you.
Usually yes. Nine times out of ten, your team only uses 20–30% of the features. We build that 20%, skip the bloat, plug it into your existing data, and you cancel the subscription. We've replaced HubSpot-lite, Jobber, Airtable setups, and homegrown Zapier nightmares.
Next.js + TypeScript + Supabase (Postgres) + Vercel for web. React Native + Expo for mobile. Stripe for payments. Boring, mature, widely-hireable. If we used some obscure framework, you'd be stuck with us — that defeats the whole point.
Your business keeps running. That's the whole design. Code is in your repo. Data is in your database. Hosting is on your Vercel/Supabase account. You could lose our phone number forever and your operations would be completely unaffected. That's ownership.
