Minutes to a starting point. The rest, built for you.
The fast track is the start: generate your starting point from maintained modules in the console, on a database of its own. Then we build what your business needs on top of it, and a branded mobile app if you want one.
Provisioning
You pay for what it runs on.
Provisioning runs in the console and takes minutes. Custom work, and the branded app if you add it, are estimated per project before anything starts.
- 01 / 03
Running costs
Your database and web hosting typically cost tens of dollars to start with.
- 02 / 03
Your own database
Every starting point is provisioned on a Postgres database of its own, never a table shared with anyone else.

Estimated up front
Custom work and the optional app are quoted before we start. If the scope grows, the estimate is revised before the work does.
The unit
What a Programming Unit is.
One unit is a bounded piece of work delivered by a Kikstart engineer working with AI agents. The AI does the volume; the engineer owns the result. You pay for the outcome, not the hours.
An engineer owns it
A person who knows the platform scopes the work, reviews what the agents produce and signs off the result.
AI does the volume
The same agents that build Kikstart itself write the first draft, the tests and the migration, which is why the turnaround is fast.
Scoped before it starts
You get an estimate in units before any work begins. If the scope grows, the estimate is revised before the work does.
Delivered into your app
The work lands in your own deployment as configuration, a module extension or code in your repository.
How it works
Brief, estimate, build, bill.
- 01 / 04
Brief
Tell us what you need. We ask the questions that matter.
- 02 / 04
Estimate
You get the work broken into units, each with a plain description of what it delivers.
- 03 / 04
Build
An engineer and the agents build it, with a fast turnaround. You see it on a preview before it goes live.
- 04 / 04
Bill
Units are billed on delivery, against the estimate you approved.
Examples
What a unit buys.
Typical sizes. Your estimate names the real number before we start.
| Work | Units |
|---|---|
| A custom admin screenA grid or form over your data with the columns and filters you asked for. | 1–2 |
| A report or dashboard tileA rollup and its drill-through, scheduled on your plan's cadence. | 1 |
| An import from another systemA feed or spreadsheet mapped into your catalog, customers or facts. | 2–4 |
| An integrationAccounting, courier, payment or messaging, through a maintained adapter. | 4–8 |
| A module extensionNew fields, states or rules on an existing module, kept through upgrades. | 3–6 |
Optional extra
One branded app per business.
Add it if your business wants one: a native iOS and Android app with your name, icon and theme, reading the same modules as your web admin. We build, sign and submit it as part of your project.
How your app ships
Built with Expo, shipped with EAS.
- 01 / 03
Your branding
Name, icon, splash screen and theme come from your store, the same ones your web app uses, and are built into your own iOS and Android app.
- 02 / 03
Built with Expo and EAS Build
A React Native app built on Expo, on the same data as your web app. EAS Build compiles and signs both platforms from one pipeline.
- 03 / 03
Submitted with EAS Submit
EAS Submit sends each build to the App Store and Google Play. Your app carries its own branding and content, which is what store review asks of it. Publishing under your own developer account is available.
