Ways to work with us

Pick the engagement that fits where you are.

Published ranges, not “contact us for pricing”. Every project is quoted in writing after a scoping call, but you should know the ballpark before you talk to anyone.

On every engagement

  • Written scope agreed before the build starts
  • Bi-weekly video walkthroughs of working software
  • A dedicated Slack channel with the engineers
  • 60–90 day warranty on what we deliver
  • Code in your repository, 100% IP ownership

Price sources: the MVP range is the USD band in our SaaS development cost guide; web-app MVP, internal tool and customer portal bands are published in GBP in our UK cost guide.

AI Dev Planner — Self-Service Pre-Build Validation Platform

As a software engineering company, we created the AI Dev Planner platform to solve the number one reason digital products fail: committing capital to code before validating market demand and core assumptions.

Self-Service SaaS Tool

AI Dev Planner Platform

From Unvetted Concept to Validated MVP Specification.

Independent founders and product teams use our self-service tool to research competitor positioning, evaluate make-or-break assumptions, and generate actionable MVP scopes, tech stacks, and delivery roadmaps.

Dual-path flexibility: Take your validated PRD and build with your in-house team, or partner with our senior engineers for turnkey implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does AI Dev Planner do?
AI Dev Planner is a software development and AI engineering company that helps startups, businesses, and product teams plan, design, build, modernize, and scale digital products, including SaaS platforms, custom software, and AI systems. We also built and operate the AI Dev Planner pre-build validation platform.
What is the difference between the AI Dev Planner platform and your engineering services?
The AI Dev Planner platform is our self-service SaaS product designed to help founders validate software concepts, research competitors, test risky assumptions, and scope lean MVPs before writing code. Our software engineering services design, build, deploy and scale custom web applications, SaaS platforms and production AI systems for you, led directly by our founder and lead engineer.
Can I validate my idea on the platform and then hire your team to build it?
Yes. You can use our self-service platform to validate market demand, map assumptions, and generate an exportable PRD, database schema, and delivery roadmap. Once validated, you can either take those specifications to your in-house developers or partner with our engineering team for end-to-end development with 100% intellectual property ownership.
What software development services does AI Dev Planner provide?
We provide product discovery, UX/UI design, custom software development, web and mobile development, SaaS platform engineering, AI and LLM system integration, cloud infrastructure, backend modernization, and ongoing maintenance.
Does AI Dev Planner build AI-powered products?
Yes. We engineer production-grade AI applications, AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, workflow automation systems, and custom LLM integrations backed by rigorous security, evaluation, and latency benchmarking.AI developmentAI integrationAI agent development
Does AI Dev Planner build SaaS products?
Yes. We design and build multi-tenant SaaS products end-to-end, covering product strategy, system architecture, frontend and backend engineering, subscription billing, automated testing, and scalable cloud infrastructure.SaaS developmentMVP development
Who does AI Dev Planner work with?
We work with early-stage founders, venture-backed startups, product teams, and established enterprises needing reliable engineering capacity to build new products or modernize existing software.
How does the software development process work?
You send a short brief and get a reply within 24 hours. Next is a free 30-minute scoping call with the engineer who would lead the work, then a written scope and fixed quote; nothing is built until you agree it. The build runs in milestones with a video walkthrough every two weeks, then launch, a documented handover and a 60–90 day warranty.
How is pricing scoped?
Per project, in writing, before any code. After a free 30-minute scoping call we send a milestone blueprint: a written scope split into milestones, with a fixed quote, and nothing is built until you agree it. A focused SaaS MVP with us typically costs $25k–$65k over 8–12 weeks; integrations (payment gateways, AI APIs, legacy databases), user roles and the size of the feature set move the figure. Anything outside the written scope is estimated and agreed with you before work on it starts.MVP cost calculatorBook a free scoping call
Who will work on my project?
Delivery is founder-led. Obaid Tariq, our founder and lead engineer, runs the scoping call and leads the build, and you talk to the engineers directly in a shared Slack channel, with a video walkthrough of working software every two weeks.
How long does a typical SaaS MVP take?
A focused SaaS MVP typically takes 8 to 12 weeks, and a standard operational web-app MVP 12 to 16 weeks, from an agreed scope to launch. A focused validation prototype can ship in a few weeks, while comprehensive enterprise platforms or complex SaaS systems typically need 3 to 6 months for an initial production release.
Who owns the code?
You do. You own 100% of the code and IP we write for you, including the source code, database design and documentation, once the final invoice is settled. The code lives in your own repository from day one, with no licence fees or lock-in.
What happens after launch?
A 60–90 day post-launch warranty covers defects in what we delivered. You also get a documented handover, so your own developers or another team can take over. After the warranty, ongoing work is optional and scoped separately.
Can AI Dev Planner work with an existing engineering team?
Yes. Our senior engineers can augment existing teams, provide architectural guidance, or take complete ownership of specialized workstreams like AI pipeline development, database optimization, or frontend refactoring.
What technologies does AI Dev Planner use?
We specialize in modern TypeScript ecosystems and high-performance stacks, including Next.js, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Redis, Docker, and leading cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Vercel), with evaluated LLM providers (Groq, OpenAI, Anthropic).
Do you work with companies in Europe?
Yes. Our team in Islamabad works remotely with startups and B2B companies across the EU and the UK, with four to five hours of overlap with Central European Time. Production hosting can sit in an EU region of your own cloud account, and because we are outside the EEA, we plan the GDPR processor contract and transfer safeguard before the build starts.Web development agency for EuropeSoftware development company for Europe
