Why us

Why businesses work with us

Trust before revenue

We do the concept, workshops and prototype with no upfront payment. You pay only once the prototype meets your requirements.

Ownership, not dependency

You get the full source code of your software. Host it with us in Frankfurt or wherever you like, no lock-in.

AI-accelerated, human-responsible

15+ years of PHP as the foundation, AI for speed. Every line of code is reviewed, tested and documented.

Fundable, up to €17,000

Through Bremen's “Digitaler Mittelstand KI” programme you don't carry the investment alone. We sort out the funding in the first call.

The math

SaaS rent, or your own software?

A three-year example, for a business running a SaaS stack at around €1,000 a month.

SaaS stack

Cost over 3 years
≈ €36,500
Ownership
No, data at the provider
Data location
External, often the US
Switching
High lock-in

Your own software

Cost over 3 years
≈ €13,080
Ownership
Yes, full source code, yours
Data location
Frankfurt, or wherever you want
Switching
Migrate any time

Most of the time the software pays for itself in the second year — and then it's yours.
