A senior product team for less than one hire
Compare one monthly fee with the usual ways start-ups get software built.
| BizBootstrap | Agency | Freelancer | Hiring a CTO | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How you pay | One monthly fee from £499, no setup fee | Large up-front project quote, change requests extra | Day rate, open-ended | Full-time salary, often plus equity |
| Time to start | First sprint within a week | Weeks of proposals and contracts | Depends on availability | Months to recruit |
| Who you get | A technical lead plus a team covering design, web, mobile and AI | A team, but often junior staff after the sale | One person and one skill set | One senior person who still needs a team |
| Flexibility | Change priorities every sprint; pause or change plan monthly | Fixed scope; changes cost extra | Flexible, but capacity is limited | Hard to scale down |
| Code ownership | Yours from day one, in your GitHub | Often handed over at the end | Varies | Yours |
| Risk | First-sprint guarantee, then monthly | Paid up front | Key-person risk | A wrong hire is costly |

FAQs
Straight answers about working with us on subscription.
Is it really unlimited?
No, and we'd rather be clear about that. You can add as many requests to your board as you like, but each plan works on a set number at a time (1, 2 or 3) with roughly 8, 24, 45 or 75 hours of work a month.
Who owns the code?
You do. Your code lives in your own GitHub account from day one, and everything we build is yours once it's paid for.
Can I pause or cancel?
Yes. Plans are monthly rolling. Give us 7 days' notice to pause or cancel. While you're paused, your hosting and email keep running.
What happens to hours I don't use?
Unused hours roll over to the next month, then expire.
What is the first-sprint guarantee?
If you're not happy after your first two weeks, we'll refund your first payment in full.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. You can move up or down a plan from your next billing date as your product and budget change.
How fast will you start?
Small requests usually take 2 to 3 working days. Bigger features are planned into two-week sprints, and your first sprint starts within a week of your scoping call.
What isn't included?
Projects with a hard fixed deadline, regulated builds such as medical devices, and 24/7 on-call support. We're happy to quote for these separately.
Do I still need a technical co-founder?
Not to get started. We act as your technical partner until you're ready to hire, and on the Partner plan we'll help you hire your first in-house developer.
Not sure which plan fits?
