Fixed-Price vs Custom Quote: Which ShipInADay Tier Fits Your Idea?

Spark, Launch, Scale, or Custom — how to pick the right tier, what is included, and when you need a quoted scope instead of a fixed price.

TL;DR: Simple, well-scoped ideas fit Spark ($499), Launch ($999), or Scale ($2,499). Integrations, multi-feature builds, or unclear scope need Custom — we review your brief and send a quote before you pay.


Not every idea fits a 24-hour box. Our pricing page has four tiers so you can match budget and scope without a sales call for standard builds.

Spark — $499 (72 hours)

Best for: Landing pages, waitlists, single-feature demos.

You need validation, not a full product. One core screen, responsive design, preview URL, source handoff, 7-day support.

Launch — $999 (24 hours) — most popular

Best for: Core MVP with one user workflow plus auth.

Email/password login, PostgreSQL, one primary feature, simple admin view, GitHub repo, 14-day support. This is the default answer to "ship my SaaS idea fast."

Scale — $2,499 (48 hours)

Best for: Monetized SaaS on day one.

Everything in Launch plus Stripe payments, OAuth providers, admin dashboard, email notifications, Docker deploy scripts, 30-day support.

Custom — quoted

Best for: API integrations, multi-tenant logic, marketplaces, or anything that touches more than one bounded user flow.

Submit your brief, we review, send a quote in the dashboard and by email. Approve the quote, then pay — same dashboard flow as fixed tiers.

Fixed price protects both sides

Fixed tiers work because scope is defined upfront. Custom quotes protect you when the build needs more time — no surprise invoices mid-sprint.
