Security patches, OS compatibility, dependency updates, uptime monitoring, and a real engineer who answers. Monthly retainers with a stated response time — not a support ticket into a void.
Software decays even when nobody touches it. iOS and Android ship breaking changes every year, dependencies accumulate vulnerabilities, certificates expire, and payment providers deprecate the API version you integrated against. An unmaintained app does not stay still — it slowly stops working.
We maintain applications whether or not we built them. That includes inheriting codebases from teams who have moved on, which is more common than anyone admits.
| Essential | Standard | Growth | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monitoring and alerting | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Security and dependency patching | Monthly | Monthly | Continuous |
| Critical bug response | Next business day | Same business day | Priority, same day |
| OS and store compliance updates | Included | Included | Included |
| Included enhancement hours | None | A monthly allowance | A larger monthly allowance |
| Reporting | Quarterly | Monthly | Monthly + review call |
| Best for | Stable internal tools | Live customer-facing apps | Products still evolving |
Exact hours and response windows are set in your agreement, sized to the application. We quote after looking at the codebase rather than guessing from a tier name.
We read the codebase, review the architecture and dependencies, and check what is deployed where. You get a written assessment.
What is urgent, what is merely untidy, and what will break at the next OS release — with honest severity, including 'this is fine'.
Repository, store accounts, cloud, domains, and certificates transferred and documented so no single person is a bottleneck.
Fix the urgent items, add monitoring, and get backups verified before anything else.
Predictable monthly maintenance with reporting you can show a board.
We choose tools for what your team can maintain after handover, not for novelty. Typical stack for this service:
Most people arrive somewhere between “just curious” and “ready to sign”. These are the smaller, fixed-fee ways in — each one useful on its own, and each one credited or extended into a bigger project only if you decide you want that.
You have a codebase — inherited, stalled, or just worrying — and want an honest read before committing to anything.
You know roughly what you want but not what it should cost or contain. Turn a vague idea into a specification you could hand to any supplier.
One workflow, one screen set, live and in use — rather than waiting on a full platform.
An existing product that needs keeping alive: patches, OS updates, store policy changes and monitoring.
Not sure which fits? Describe the problem and we will tell you — including when the answer is that you do not need us yet.
Not values on a wall — contract terms. Ask any other supplier to match them line by line.
Send a brief, get a fixed written price and a delivery date the next working day. Free, no obligation, and the scope document is yours to keep even if you go elsewhere.
Fixed, not an estimate. If scope changes we re-quote in writing and you approve before we build it. You will never open a surprise invoice.
50% to start, 50% when it is live and you are satisfied. You never fund the whole project up front.
We do not write production code until you approve the screens. Changing your mind at that stage costs nothing.
Full source code, design files and credentials on delivery. No licence, no platform fee, nothing that stops another developer taking over.
Free bug fixing for a month after launch, then an optional retainer only if you want one.
Every one of these is in the agreement before you pay anything. See how we evidence our claims →
A paragraph is enough to start. You get a scoping conversation and a fixed written price with a delivery date within 24 hours — free, and yours to keep whether or not you go ahead with us.
