Internal tool
From $8,000
One team, one workflow, in production in weeks rather than months.
How it works
Buying software should feel like buying anything else.
You should know the price before the work starts, see progress every week, and walk away owning what you paid for. That is the whole process.
- 01
Discovery call
A free 30 minute call. You describe the problem, we ask the questions that decide the shape of the build.
- Who uses it and what they are trying to finish
- What data the product has to hold and protect
- What already exists that we should keep
- What a successful first release looks like
- 02
Scope and fixed price
We write a milestone plan with a price per milestone and a definition of done. You approve it before any code is written.
- Feature list with a clear cut line
- Milestone schedule with dates
- Fixed price per milestone
- Written assumptions, so changes are visible
- 03
Build in weekly demos
Every week you see the working product, not a status report. Feedback from the demo goes into the next week of work.
- Live demo of what shipped that week
- A staging link you can use any time
- One channel for questions and decisions
- Tests and code review on every change
- 04
Launch, hand-off, and you own everything
We deploy to production, transfer the repository and accounts to your name, and hand over the documentation.
- Production deployment and monitoring
- Repository and hosting transferred to you
- Written architecture and runbook docs
- Optional support plan if you want us on call
05What it costs
Starting points, not final quotes.
Your fixed price comes out of the scoping step. These ranges tell you whether a conversation is worth your time.
SaaS MVP
From $20,000
The smallest honest version of the product, live for real users in 8 to 12 weeks.
Full platform
Scoped per project
Multiple roles, integrations, and compliance requirements, usually shipped in two phases.
06Ownership
What you receive at the final milestone.
Hand-off is a deliverable with its own definition of done, not a favour we do at the end. When it is complete you can hire any engineer to continue the work.
- The repository
- Transferred to your GitHub organization with full history.
- The hosting
- Accounts created in your name or transferred to you at launch.
- The credentials
- Environment variables, API keys, and domains handed over in writing.
- The documentation
- Architecture notes, a runbook, and a setup guide for the next engineer.
Questions buyers ask
Before you spend a dollar.
Do I own the code?
Yes. Full transfer at the final milestone. The repository, the hosting accounts, the domains, and the documentation go into your name. Nothing stays locked behind a Klema Labs login.
How much does an app cost?
Internal tools start at $8,000. A SaaS MVP starts at $20,000. A full platform is scoped per project, because the price depends on how many roles, integrations, and compliance requirements it carries. You get a fixed price per milestone before work begins.
How long does it take?
MVPs ship in 8 to 12 weeks. Full platforms run 20 weeks or more, usually in two phases so something real is in production early.
Can you take over an existing app?
Yes. We start with a paid technical review of the current code, hosting, and data. You get a written assessment of what is worth keeping, what needs replacing, and what it costs, and then you decide.
Do you handle HIPAA or other sensitive data?
Yes. Audit logs, encryption, tenant isolation, and role based access are built in from day one rather than bolted on later. My Elara, our practice platform for clinicians, was built this way.
What happens after launch?
You own the product, so you are free to walk away or hire anyone to continue. Most clients take an optional support plan that covers monitoring, dependency updates, and a set number of change hours each month.

Thirty minutes, free, and you leave it knowing whether custom software is the right answer for your problem.
