Own It — custom software you buy once and keep forever.
No subscriptions. No vendor lock-in. No monthly fees. You pay once, we build it, you own the code outright.
What “Own It” means
Bluestone builds the software, hands over the full codebase, and you own it in perpetuity. No licensing fees. No SaaS subscription. No dependency on us to keep it running.
Host it yourself. Modify it. Hire any developer to maintain it. Sell it as part of your business. It's your code, forever — the same way the trucks in your fleet are your trucks.
We hand over a clean repository in your GitHub, infrastructure provisioned in your cloud account, and documentation good enough for a competent engineer to pick up cold. If we vanished tomorrow, your software keeps running.
Who this is for
Own It is for established businesses with budget to invest in a proper tool. Typically: trades and field service businesses with three or more employees, construction companies, professional services firms, or any SMB owner who's tired of paying SaaS fees for tools that don't fully fit. If you have the cash and want full ownership without ongoing fees, this is the right tier.

How the process works
Discovery call
A 30-minute call to understand your business, your workflows, and the problem you want solved. No pitch.
Free systems teardown
We map your current tools and processes, identify the bottlenecks, and outline what we'd build. Plain-language write-up.
Scope and fixed quote
We define exactly what gets built, how long it takes, and what it costs. One number — no hourly billing, no surprises.
Build (4–8 weeks)
Weekly check-ins, working software you can poke at, and a clear path to launch. Most projects ship in 4–8 weeks.
Handover and documentation
You receive the full codebase in your repository, deployment docs, and a 30-day post-launch support window.
Pricing
Most Own It builds land between $10,000 and $40,000, depending on scope. Every engagement is quoted as a single fixed number — agreed up front, no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
If you're open to an equity component, the cash side gets meaningfully smaller. Some builds drop as low as $4,000 cash when paired with a small equity stake — and a select few No Capital deals run at zero cash. Worth asking about on the teardown call.
