You know the price before we write any code.

The Gnar Company does fixed-price software development. First comes Discovery: 2 to 6 weeks of planning, from $15,000. It ends with a written plan split into milestones (working pieces of the software), each with a fixed price in the contract. If a milestone costs more to build, the overage is on us.

How it works

Strategize. Scope. Ship. Scale.

Four steps, and you can buy any one on its own. Not sure which ideas are worth building? Start with Compass, which ranks them. Already know what to build? Start with Discovery, which prices it.

Before step 1

It starts with a free call with Pete.

Pete Whiting, Head of Sales, runs it. In 30 minutes we'll talk about what you're trying to solve and whether we can help. If your own engineers have the time and know what to build, you don't need us, and Pete will say so.

Step 1 · Strategize

Compass

Not sure what to build first? We find which ideas are worth the money, and rank them.

You get: a plan that puts your ideas in order, by what each one is worth.

  • We interview your leaders
  • We watch how the work gets done today
  • We score each idea on what it earns, not just what it costs

6 to 8 weeks, one fixed price agreed before we start. For US companies with over $10M in annual revenue.

Step 2 · Scope

Discovery

What exactly will we build, and what will it cost?

You get: a written build plan, split into milestones (working pieces of the software), with a fixed price on each.

  • We talk to the people who will use it
  • We sketch it and test it with them
  • We write down what it must do

$15,000, $20,000 or $30,000 for 2, 4 or 6 weeks. You can build from the plan with us or anyone else.

Step 3 · Ship

Build

One milestone at a time. The price does not move.

You get: working software, new or rebuilt.

  • One milestone at a time
  • Each one at a fixed price
  • Senior US engineers

Typically $150K to $300K+. Your exact price comes out of Discovery, fixed per milestone. If it runs over, we pay.

Step 4 · Scale

Maintain

Keep it working. Keep making it better.

You get: hosting, monitoring, support, and the same person who built it.

  • We agree on what to work on next
  • We make it better
  • We apply security patches and software updates
  • We reorder priorities as your needs change

From $1,000 a month. Or your own team takes over, with our help.

Price and guarantee

If it runs over,
we pay. Not you.

We can promise that because we set the price after Discovery, once the work is agreed. Discovery ends with a plan that splits your build into milestones, each with a fixed price.

What's not included: a new feature you ask for later. It gets its own price, and you decide whether to add it.

Every build engagement also comes with a 12-month bug-free warranty. For a full year after launch, we fix any code that doesn't work the way we agreed, at no charge.

Ask any software firm two questions before you sign.

Is the price in the contract? Who pays if it runs over?

After launch

The code is yours. Run it with us or without us.

We write it all down so your team can take over.
