Flat-rate software development
All the software
you need.
$4,500 a month.
We automated our agency. You get the discount. Our AI development system does the production work. Our human senior engineers plan it, make the decisions, polish and iterate, and pick up whatever the AI can't. Same quality you'd get hiring senior developers, at a fraction of the price.
Send us whatever needs building: features, bug fixes, internal tools, integrations, whole apps. By email or GitHub; rough notes are fine. Finished, reviewed code lands in your repository as pull requests.
Month to month, cancel anytime. Your first month carries a 14-day money-back guarantee that covers you until you approve the first pull request.
A reviewed pull request lands
Finished, senior-reviewed code in your repository. Merge it in GitHub or right here.
The story
We built Vroni. Then we learned something.
Vroni is our AI software delegate: assign it software tasks, get back finished pull requests. We built it for ourselves and ran our entire product development on it.
Then we learned what most companies actually want. Not another AI tool to operate. The software, done. So we put senior developers in front of the AI and made it one flat price. It built our products; now it builds yours.
Since 2020
building the practice, from OpenAI's first API beta to our own system
100+
software tasks shipped to production per month
$4,500
one flat monthly price for all of it
The task rate comes from implementation summaries across real production repositories: 670+ tasks over the past six months, not demo prompts.
You send it. We ship it.
There is no tool to learn and no process to adopt. Send what you have, the way you would to a developer you trust, and get finished code back.
1. Send what you have
A ticket, a bug report, a rough idea, a screenshot, three sentences in an email. By email, GitHub, or the dashboard. We ask the right questions and turn it into something buildable.
2. Our senior developers handle it
Our senior developers deal with it end to end: scope it, make the technical decisions, steer our AI development system through the production, and review every line. One of them is your personal point of contact.
3. It lands in your repo
You get a reviewed pull request with a plain-language summary. Merge it, ask for changes, or ask us to handle deployment. Follow-ups are included.
We work one task at a time, at machine speed: the next one starts the moment the current one ships. Big months and quiet months cost the same.
"Communication stays focused, there is little unnecessary back-and-forth, and he still raises the important questions when needed."

Send us whatever needs building
Bring a live product, a messy codebase, a greenfield idea, or a list of problems. If it's software, it's included.
SaaS and product changes
Features, onboarding, billing flows, dashboards, admin tools, permissions, and product workflows.
Internal tools and automation
Back-office apps, reporting, approval flows, CRM workflows, imports, exports, and operations software.
AI integrations
AI features, agents, content pipelines, classification, extraction, research workflows, and automation.
Codebase rescue
Broken features, legacy upgrades, failed handoffs, performance problems, flaky integrations, and technical debt.
Web and mobile apps
Modern web stacks, APIs, TypeScript frontends, mobile app backends, and new apps built from a rough brief.
Data and integrations
Third-party APIs, webhooks, payment providers, background jobs, queues, reporting, and repetitive business processes.
"But our product is complicated, and nothing is written down."
Good. That describes almost every company we take on. Hardly anyone comes to us with tickets, specs, or a tidy process; the product lives in someone's head, a Slack thread, and five years of decisions nobody documented. Understanding products like that is not an obstacle to this offer. It's the skill it's built on: our senior engineers have spent their careers dropping into other people's products, learning the unwritten rules, and working out what actually needs to be built.
You don't need to prepare anything. Send the first thing in whatever form it exists. We read the code, ask the few questions that matter, and remember the answers. Every task teaches us more about your product, so the explaining gets shorter every month, not longer. When a call genuinely helps, we do a call. What we won't do is turn your roadmap into a meeting schedule.
"That rare breed of web developer who just gets it. You have a chat, you express what you need, and he comes back with what you asked for. A joy to work with, not having to micromanage."
Ariel Ozick, Wired Rhino, Inc., on working with our founder
Everything an agency does. Nothing an agency costs.
Agencies never publish prices. That's the tell.
Market ranges for senior-level work. Your quotes may vary. Our price doesn't.
"He's tackled some major technical challenges for us, including a complex Laravel upgrade and significant performance improvements. Reliable, technically skilled, and a valuable partner."

The honest answer
Why is this so cheap?
Because Vroni is years of AI-first practice turned into a system. We have worked this way since OpenAI's first API beta, and Vroni is that accumulated process as a product: it reads codebases, plans implementations, writes the code, runs the checks, and fixes the failures. Senior engineers steer it, polish and iterate on the results, and review every line before anything reaches you.
Agency prices pay for meetings, project managers, and juniors learning on your budget. Our price pays for senior judgment and AI production. What changed is the cost structure, not the quality bar.
And to be clear: you are not buying AI. You are buying shipped software. When the AI isn't enough, senior engineers do it the old way, at the same price. You bought the outcome, not the method.
Don't just take our word for the shift: Google's engineers published a whitepaper describing exactly this division of labor. Read our take.
"He delivers clean code and reliable implementation. We especially value how quickly he gets into mature projects and finds solutions that fit the existing state of the codebase."
Florian Brunner, designundzwanzig OG, on working with our founder
What happens inside the loop
- 01We turn rough product or business context into a clear technical path.
- 02The system implements it: code, checks, failure repair, iteration.
- 03A senior engineer reviews the result and owns the technical calls.
- 04You get pull requests, deployment support, and follow-up changes.
Easy to start, easy to walk away
We take on a limited number of companies and onboard each one personally.
14-day money-back guarantee
If the first 14 days don't convince you, you get your money back. The guarantee covers you until you approve the first pull request we deliver; once you do, it has done its job.
One task at a time
We focus on one task per client and pull the next the moment one ships. The focus is where the quality comes from.
Cancel anytime
Month to month. No contract exit, no notice period, no severance. Stop whenever it stops being useful.
"One of those rare developers who can jump into a complex codebase, become useful immediately, and solve real problems without hand-holding."
Yash Chandra, Academy of Mine, on working with our founder
Best fit
- Companies with a live product and more to build than they have hands to build it.
- Founders and operators who need a dev team but don't want to hire one.
- Businesses that own a codebase but lost their developer.
- Agencies and operators that need reliable implementation capacity.
- Teams about to brief an agency or open a job req. Try this first.
Not the right fit
- Hardware and deep embedded systems work.
- Staff augmentation. We deliver outcomes, we don't fill seats or join your standups.
- Speed-over-everything work where code quality doesn't matter. Quality is the point here.
- Shopping for the cheapest possible code. This is senior work at a price the AI makes possible, not bargain code.
Questions before you send the first task
Is it really all the software I need?
Yes, with two honest caveats. We work your list one task at a time: you always have something in flight, we pull the next task the moment one ships, and there is no task counter and no meter. And the price covers one product, which is typically one repository; if you run more than that, we sort it out in the first conversation. What we don't do is fill seats on your team or take on hardware and deep embedded systems.
What if the AI can't handle my task?
Then it gets built anyway. You're not buying AI; you're buying shipped software. When the AI isn't enough, senior engineers do it the old way, at the same price. You bought the outcome, not the method.
We don't have tickets, specs, or a real process. Will this work?
That's most of our clients. Decisions in someone's head, requirements in a Slack thread, a product full of unwritten rules. Send it in whatever form it exists. We read the code, ask the few questions that matter, and remember the answers, so every task needs less explanation than the one before. When a call genuinely helps, we do a call.
Who actually does the work?
I'm Vincent Schmalbach, a senior full-stack engineer with 15+ years of experience, and I built Vroni. My team and I run every engagement: the system produces, senior engineers architect, steer, and review. Nothing reaches your repository without senior review. More about us.
Do I need to learn a tool or log in somewhere?
No. Send us what you have by email or GitHub issue, whichever you already use. There's a dashboard if you want to watch progress, but it's optional. The only requirement is a GitHub repository to deliver into, and we can set one up for new projects.
Who owns the code?
You do. Everything is delivered into your repository as pull requests and is yours from the first commit. Access is scoped to the repositories you choose and revocable at any time.
How does the money-back guarantee work?
Your first month is covered for 14 days: if you want out, you get your money back, no questions asked. The guarantee runs until you approve the first pull request we deliver, and from then on the normal deal applies: month to month, cancel anytime.
What stacks do you cover?
The popular web stacks: PHP/Laravel, TypeScript/JavaScript, React, Vue, Node.js, Python, Go, plus databases, queues, APIs, third-party integrations, and AI features on OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google APIs. If your stack is unusual, just ask.
How fast do tasks come back?
It depends on the task, and we won't invent a number. Small, well-bounded tasks often come back fast; bigger pieces get broken down and delivered as a sequence of pull requests. You'll always know what's in flight and what's next.
Is there a version without the humans?
Yes. Vroni is also a self-serve product: the AI developer without a human in the loop. You connect your GitHub repository, assign tasks yourself, review the pull requests yourself, and pay per active minute instead of a flat rate. Plans start at $299/month. See how the product works and the self-serve plans.
How do we start?
Send us your first task through the form. We reply with any questions, sort out repository access, and get building. Slots are limited and onboarding is personal, so if we're at capacity we'll tell you and hold your place.
Just want the AI?
Vroni is also a self-serve product: the AI developer without a human in the loop. Connect your GitHub repository, assign tasks yourself, review the pull requests yourself, and pay per active minute. Plans from $299/month.
Send us the first task.
One real task from your list. A feature, a fix, the thing you've been putting off. Your first 14 days are covered by the money-back guarantee, so the risk stays with us.
"Methodical and efficient. He really dug into our requirements, asking clarifying questions until he had a solid understanding. Then built exactly what was needed and kept us informed throughout."
