Application maintenance and support

App maintenance

We stick around to fix bugs, ship small updates and help your team own the new stack. You always work with the team that built it.

Hosting, monitoring, support, and the same person who built it. From $1,000 a month.

When your API changes, a dependency breaks, when someone asks “can it also do this?”, you’ve got a team on it.

How it works

How we’d work with you

After launch there are two kinds of work: fixes under the warranty, and everything else under Maintain.

Why Gnar?

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions?

What does the 12-month warranty cover?

For a full year after delivery, we repair any non-conforming code at no charge. The warranty covers code that doesn’t work as specified. Feature additions and ongoing operational support are handled separately through Maintain.

How does The Gnar prevent bugs and technical debt?

Through rigorous testing, clean code practices, and review processes, The Gnar minimizes bugs and technical debt.

How does The Gnar ensure scalability and future-proofing?

By using scalable cloud platforms, modular architectures, and best practices in DevOps and development, The Gnar ensures long-term reliability.

Can The Gnar integrate with my existing software and APIs?

Yes, The Gnar specializes in building seamless integrations with existing systems, third-party APIs, and SaaS tools.

Who will be on my team?

A small team of senior US-based engineers and a product manager, covering web development, mobile development, and UI/UX design in-house. No offshore teams, no junior developers staffed on after a senior pitch.

Have you done this before?

Yes. Ten years and 100+ projects across operational software, including modernization work live in production today. Our senior US team has already solved the hard problems here: integrating with legacy systems, synchronizing data, and building role-based interfaces on top of systems that can’t be taken offline.

What does The Gnar do?

We help B2B leaders in three ways: AI Strategy & Fluency (adopt AI and ship a real automation), Custom Software Development (build the software your business runs on), and Legacy Software Modernization (modernize or rebuild an aging system). Every build is backed by the triple guarantee.

What makes The Gnar different from other software partners?

Three things. AI-Native delivery, so the same scope ships faster and at a lower price. A 100% US-based senior team with a founder in every engagement. And the industry’s only triple guarantee: fixed price, guaranteed outcome, and a 12-month bug-free warranty. Most agencies offer none of the three.
