Why such a gap?
We do the math. You see the difference.
You're likely paying more than you should.
Most agencies still quote as if AI doesn't exist. Development with AI tools can be 40-60% faster — but you're charged old rates.
It's common practice to add "buffer" to estimates. A 100-hour project becomes 150-200 hours. You pay for uncertainty, not work.
You can't verify technical estimates without technical expertise. Agencies know this. You're left trusting their numbers.

Sample Report Previews
4 tables (affiliates, commissions, payouts, tracking), ~35 fields total. AI generates migrations, indexes, and relationships from a brief description.
Repositories + CQRS handlers for 12 operations. AI scaffolds 80% of boilerplate; manual work is business rules and edge cases.
Commission calculation, tier management, payout rules. Core logic is ~200 lines; AI helps with validation and error handling.
5 admin pages (list, detail, payouts, stats, settings). AI generates forms, tables, and filters from schema; styling takes most time.
8 REST endpoints for affiliate dashboard. Standard CRUD with auth middleware — AI generates 90% from OpenAPI spec.
~40 unit tests + 10 integration tests. AI suggests test cases and generates assertions; manual work is edge cases.
Standard forms + validation + session handling. AI generates boilerplate; manual work is UX polish and security review.
Token generation, email template, reset flow. Well-documented pattern — AI handles 70% from examples.
~25 tests covering auth flows. AI generates happy path tests; manual work is security edge cases.
Users table + sessions/tokens. 2 tables, ~15 fields. Migration generated from schema description.

Every estimate includes detailed reasoning — we explain exactly how we calculated each number, what assumptions we made, and what industry benchmarks we used. You see the methodology, not just the result. If something doesn't match your context, you'll know exactly why.
That's actually valuable information. Ask them to explain the difference. Often, it reveals hidden assumptions, scope creep, or padding. Use our detailed breakdown as a conversation starter — it's not about "who's right" but about understanding what you're paying for.
We combine 10+ years of software architecture experience with real-world project data. Each task is broken down into subtasks, compared against industry benchmarks, and adjusted for AI-assisted development efficiency. We show our work — every assumption is documented.
We provide ranges, not exact numbers. Our goal is to show you if an estimate is in the right ballpark or significantly inflated. We're transparent about assumptions and explain our reasoning for each line item.
We provide BOTH estimates — traditional and AI-assisted. Use the traditional estimate if your contractor doesn't use AI tools. Use the AI estimate to understand potential savings or to find contractors who leverage modern tools.
Absolutely. The report is yours. Many clients use it as a negotiation tool or discussion starter with their contractors. It often leads to productive conversations about scope and efficiency.
100% money back within 7 days if you're not satisfied. Just tell us why — we use feedback to improve. No questions asked, no hoops to jump through.
All code is encrypted in transit and at rest, automatically deleted after 30 days, and never used for AI training. We provide automatic NDA protection for all projects.
If your current contractor can't match our fair estimates, we'll connect you with AI-native developers who can.
Modern contractors. Modern methodologies. Fair prices.
