Custom software, subscription replacement

Stop renting software that almost fits.

We replace your expensive software subscription with custom software built around how your business works, with the features you ask for, for half of what you pay now.

You keep your current software until ours does everything we agreed on.

Count every seat, add-on and integration you pay for, not just the base plan.

Sound familiar?

The price keeps climbing

Per-seat pricing, "premium tier" features, and an increase at every renewal.

You use a fraction of it

You pay for a hundred features, use ten, and still work around the ones you need.

It doesn't work the way you do

Spreadsheets on the side, double entry, and "that's just how the system does it."

How it works

From first call to switching over

  1. 1

    Free consultation

    Show us what you use today, what it costs, and where it gets in your way. About 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    A working demo

    We come back with a quick demo built around your workflow, so you can see what you'd get before you commit to anything.

  3. 3

    Your proposal

    We agree on the core features your new software needs before you switch, and the price: half of what you pay now, for one year.

  4. 4

    Build, then switch

    We build it and move your data over. You switch when every core feature is done, not before.

What's included

Your features, not theirs

Off-the-shelf software is built for thousands of other customers. Yours is built for you: the screens, fields, reports and shortcuts your team actually asks for, and nothing you don't need.

Custom features

Tell us what you wish your software did. That's what we build: your terms, your workflow, your reports.

Hosting and backups

We run it, keep it up to date, and back it up. Nothing to install.

Data migration

We move your records out of your current system so you start with everything in place.

Development every month

Every month includes development time for new features, so your software keeps growing with your business.

Fixes, included

If something we built doesn't work right, we fix it. That never comes out of your hours.

Your data stays yours

Export everything, any time, in standard formats. No lock-in.

Our promise

You don't switch until your new software does every core feature we agreed on in writing. If it isn't ready in three months, you can walk away and get your deposit back.

A good fit

  • You pay $200 a month or more for one tool
  • You keep wishing your software did one more thing
  • Your team works around the software more than with it
  • You pay for seats or tiers mostly to unlock a few features
  • Scheduling, client records, orders, memberships, job tracking, internal portals

Probably not a fit

  • Accounting, payroll and tax software
  • Tools whose value is a network of other users, like marketplaces
  • Subscriptions under about $200 a month, where half wouldn't cover the work

Not sure? Ask. We'll tell you honestly if it doesn't make sense.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Why would you charge less than the software I already have?

Big software companies build for thousands of customers, so you pay for features other people want. We build only what you use, which costs less to build and run. And because it's built for you, it does the things theirs never will.

When do I start paying?

When you sign, you pay one month as a deposit, and it's credited to your first bill. After that, you don't pay us anything until you switch over. Your 12 months start that day, so you're never paying for two systems at once.

What if it isn't ready?

You keep using your current software until every core feature in your agreement is done and you've approved it. And if we haven't delivered within three months, you can walk away and get your deposit back.

What happens after the first year?

Renew for another year and your price goes down 10%. You keep that rate, and everything we've built for you along the way. Our price never goes up.

Who owns my data?

You do. You can export it any time, in standard formats, whether you stay with us or not.

What if you go out of business?

You get a full copy of your software's source code and all your data. It's built on common, well-supported technology, so any developer can pick it up. Your data is always yours to export, whether we're around or not.

Can I ask for changes later?

Yes, that's the point. Your plan includes development hours every month for new features and changes. We set the number together based on what you need. For bigger projects, add hours at $120/hr.
