Price list
Six steps. Each one priced before it starts.
Prices in US dollars. You can stop after any step.
| Step | Price | Terms | What it is for |
|---|---|---|---|
| App triage call | Free | 20 minutes | You show us the app. We tell you what we expect to find, and whether a paid check or review is worth it yet. |
| Quick Security Check | $495 | Delivered in 48 hours. The fee is credited toward the App Readiness Review. | A senior engineer checks the app for the security problems we find most often in AI-built apps, and tells you in writing what is exposed. |
| App Readiness Review | $1,500 flat | 5 business days. The fee is credited toward any fix booked within 30 days. | The full review: every finding with its severity, root cause and fix, a keep, change or replace call for each part, and a fixed quote to finish the app. |
| Security & Data Hardening | from $7,500 | Fixed price, 1 to 2 weeks. | We fix what the review found in security and data access: who can read and change which records, keys out of the browser, sessions checked on the server, payments handled on the server. |
| Production Launch | from $15,000 | Fixed price, set after the review. | We fix and finish what the plan lists, then launch: production kept apart from development, a deploy you can roll back, monitoring, and notes a new developer can follow. |
| Ongoing care | from $500 a month, up to $2,000 a month | Tiered: from $500 a month for monitoring and small fixes; up to $2,000 a month for the fuller plan. | Keeps the app running after launch: monitoring and small fixes, or the fuller plan for an app that is still changing. |
What each step is for
Start small. Go further only if the app needs it.
- App triage call · Free. You show us the app. We tell you what we expect to find, and whether a paid check or review is worth it yet.
- Quick Security Check · $495. For a founder who wants to know, fast, whether real users' data is safe. We look for keys in the code the browser downloads, sessions never checked on the server, access decided in code the user controls, missing or loose row-level security, and development sharing production. The five problems we find most.
- App Readiness Review · $1,500 flat. For an app about to take real customers, data or payments. A senior engineer reads the code and covers security, sign-in and sessions, who can read and change which data, payments, error handling, deployment and the state of the code.
- Security & Data Hardening · from $7,500. We fix what the review found in security and data access: who can read and change which records, keys out of the browser, sessions checked on the server, payments handled on the server. Tests go in alongside each fix.
- Production Launch · from $15,000. We fix and finish what the plan lists, then launch: production kept apart from development, a deploy you can roll back, monitoring, and notes a new developer can follow.
- Ongoing care · from $500 a month, up to $2,000 a month. Keeps the app running after launch: monitoring and small fixes, or the fuller plan for an app that is still changing.
How fees are credited
The first two fees count toward the next step.
The Quick Security Check's $495 is credited toward the App Readiness Review. If you start with the check and then want the full review, you pay $1,005 more, not $1,500.
The App Readiness Review's $1,500 is credited toward any fix you book within 30 days: Security & Data Hardening or Production Launch. If you decide not to go on, you keep the report and the plan, and you owe nothing more.
The free call
Twenty minutes, before you pay for anything.
You show us the app: the link or the repository, the tool you built it with, what works and what worries you. We tell you what we expect to find, which step makes sense, and whether your launch date looks realistic.
Sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need us yet. The call is free either way. Ask for a call.
How fixed pricing works
One fixed price for the job, agreed before it starts.
The check and the review have flat prices. The fixes have a starting price, because two apps built with the same tool can need very different amounts of work. The review sizes the work, and then you get one fixed price and a schedule, item by item, before anything starts.
What moves the fixed price: how many findings are serious, how much of the app is still unbuilt, the integrations (payments, email, outside APIs), any data migration, and any move to new hosting. We never bill hourly on work nobody has sized, and the work happens in your repository, so you own the code from the first day.
Not on this list
Custom software, MVPs and AI apps are quoted.
New software is priced by what it must do, so it starts with a short, priced discovery that ends in a written plan and a fixed quote for the build. See custom software development, MVP development and AI app development.
Questions buyers ask
Questions about price.
How much does it cost to fix a Lovable app?
It depends on what the app needs, so we find out first. The Quick Security Check is $495 and the App Readiness Review is $1,500 flat. Fixing what the review finds in security and data access starts at $7,500 (Security & Data Hardening, fixed price, 1 to 2 weeks). Fixing and finishing the app for launch starts at $15,000. The same prices apply to apps built with Bolt, Replit, Cursor or v0.
How much does an app audit cost?
Our App Readiness Review is $1,500 flat, delivered in 5 business days: every finding with its severity, root cause and fix, a keep, change or replace call for each part of the app, and a fixed quote to finish it. Its fee is credited toward any fix you book with us within 30 days.
How much does an app security review cost?
The Quick Security Check is $495, delivered in 48 hours. A senior engineer checks the app for the security problems we find most often in AI-built apps and tells you in writing what is exposed. If you go on to the App Readiness Review, the $495 is credited, so the review costs $1,005 more.
Why do some prices say "from"?
Because two apps built with the same tool can need very different amounts of work. The review tells us how much, and then you get one fixed price for the job before it starts. The "from" figure is the lowest that price will be.
Do you bill by the hour?
No. Every step has a fixed price agreed before it starts, and you decide after each one whether to go on. We never bill hourly on work nobody has sized.
Is the triage call really free?
Yes. It is 20 minutes, there is nothing to sign, and sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need us yet.
What does ongoing care cost?
Ongoing care is from $500 a month, up to $2,000 a month. Tiered: from $500 a month for monitoring and small fixes; up to $2,000 a month for the fuller plan. You agree the plan with us before it starts.
What about custom software, an MVP or an AI app?
Those are quoted, not listed, because their cost is set by what the software must do. A short, priced discovery comes first and ends with a fixed quote for the build.
Start with a free call.
Twenty minutes, no charge. Or go straight to the Quick Security Check: $495, in 48 hours.
