I replace expensive SaaS subscriptions with custom-built AI solutions. You own the code, your monthly bill drops. Hybrid pricing: build fee + share of ongoing savings.
Claude and AI coding assistants for rapid development. Lovable for UI generation. n8n for workflow automation. Supabase for backend and auth. React and TypeScript on the frontend.
Hybrid model: build fee of £8,000-£25,000 fixed upfront, plus a savings share of 20-30% of verified monthly SaaS savings for 12-24 months. If the replacement does not save money, the savings share drops to zero.
Tools costing over $30k per year, where you use less than 30% of features, and the workflow is specific to your business. Internal search, helpdesk triage, proposal generation and workflow automation are the strongest fits.
Typical timeline 6-9 weeks from kickoff to deployment. Simpler replacements complete faster, complex builds take longer.
You own the source code from day one. No licensing, no per-seat fees, no vendor lock-in.
