Custom Software as a Service
Subscribe like SaaS. Get software made for you.
Signing up works like any online software subscription: pick a plan, pay monthly or yearly, and we host, maintain, and update it for you. The difference is what you get: software designed and built for your business, as you need it.
| Off-the-shelf software | Buildly |
|---|---|
| The same features for every customer | Built around your workflow and requirements |
| You change your process to fit the tool | The software fits the way you already work |
| Feature requests join someone else's roadmap | Your change requests are built for you, from 2 a year to 3 a month |
| Your business depends on their product | Your data is always yours, and the code becomes yours too |
| In both cases: a monthly or yearly subscription, with hosting, updates, and support included. | |

How it works
From brief to launch, with approval at every step.
You always see the scope and price in writing before work or billing starts.
- 1
Select a plan
Pick the plan and billing interval that look right. You can change them before you approve anything.
- 2
Submit your requirements
Tell us what you need, who will use it, and which platforms matter. We review it, then invite you to a short discovery call.
- 3
Approve the scope
We send a written scope: deliverables, exclusions, price, and schedule. Nothing is charged until you accept it.
- 4
Build and launch
We design, develop, and review with you, then deploy to hosting included in your plan.
- 5
Request improvements
After launch, request changes and new features. Each is estimated and approved before it uses your allowance.
Pricing
Published prices. No sales call needed to understand them.
The right plan depends on the agreed scope, not just the platform. A simple desktop utility can fit Essential; a complex website may need Business.
Billing interval is how often you pay. The contract is month to month*, so you can stop at any time. Your commitment is how long you stay subscribed before the code becomes yours.

On Essential, the first payment covers the setup fee and 3 months upfront. After that you can stop any time.

FAQ
Questions we hear often
What is Custom Software as a Service?
It works like subscribing to any software online: you pick a plan and pay monthly or yearly, and we host, maintain, and update it. The difference is that the software is designed and built for your business, as you need it, rather than the same product everyone else gets.
What can you build?
Business websites, online stores, web applications, customer portals, internal tools, mobile apps for Android and iOS, and desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Each subscription covers one agreed project on one platform unless a published bundle applies.
Which technologies do you use?
Whatever your project needs: custom code in Go, Node.js, Python, or PHP, or a platform such as WordPress, Drupal, WooCommerce, or Magento. These are examples, not a limit. We recommend the stack in your written scope, and you can ask for one you prefer.
Is development unlimited?
No. Each plan includes a defined initial build, then a set number of change requests after delivery: Essential 2 per year, Growth 1 per month, Business 2 per month, and Scale 3 per month, handled one at a time. Your scope lists exactly what is included, and any extra work is estimated and approved by you before it starts.
How long does the first version take?
It depends on the scope. Your written scope includes a schedule before you pay anything. We do not promise instant delivery.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $35/month for small, clearly scoped software. Growth is $100/month, Business $250/month, and Scale $600/month. Which plan fits depends on the agreed scope, not only the platform.
