Fixed quotes.
Never hourly.
Three ways to engage. Every build is one fixed number, agreed before kickoff. No timesheet billing. No retainer you forget to cancel. No subscription that compounds forever.

We offer three structures. The build is the same; what changes is how you pay for it.
Tier 01
Own It
Established businesses with budget
- Cash
- $8,000 – $40,000 CAD
- Equity
- 0%
Established businesses ready to pay for a tool that fits. Want full ownership and zero equity sharing.
- Full custom software build
- Complete codebase + IP transfer
- 30-day post-launch support
- Hosting + accounts in your name
- Documentation for any future engineer
Tier 02
Partner Build
Funded startups + growth-stage SMBs
- Cash
- $4,000+ (reduced)
- Equity
- 2 – 15%
Funded startups and growth-stage businesses who want a long-term technical partner with skin in the game.
- Reduced cash fee

Tier 03
No Capital? No Problem
Early-stage founders, real markets
- Cash
- $0 – minimal
- Equity
- 10 – 30%
Early-stage founders with a real, defined market and strong domain expertise. Selective application.
- Software built for equity
- Bluestone as effective technical co-founder
- 1–3 diligence calls before yes/no
- Honest no, in writing, when we pass
- Long-term cap-table partner if we say yes
Hourly aligns the dev shop with running up the clock.
Fixed pricing aligns us with shipping the right thing fast. We do real scoping work upfront — that's why every engagement starts with a free teardown — so the number on the proposal is the number you pay.
If we underestimate, that's on us. If you change scope mid-project, we re-quote the delta in writing before any new work starts. No surprise invoices, ever.
Same logic across all three tiers — Own It, Partner Build, or No Capital. The structure changes; the discipline doesn't.
The number on the proposal is the number you pay. If we got it wrong, that's on us — not on the next invoice.
