Custom software, built in 14 days from $7,000.
Replace clunky SaaS, automate your operations, or launch your app idea, built by real engineers at a fixed price from $7,000. You own the code. We work with everyone, from tech founders to large organisations.
Tell us about your idea
A quick hello to start. We’ll reply within 48 hours, and you decide where it goes from there.
"We were paying for 6 SaaS tools duct-taped together that didn't do what we needed. Decoded built us a solution that replaced them all and does exactly what we need!"
From first call to live software in 14 days.
Fixed scope. Fixed price. Real engineers building alongside AI. Watch how it works.
- from $7,000. Full custom build.
- See real progress throughout, not just at the end.
- Full feedback and revision round before launch.
- Your team trained and supported after go-live.
AI builds the foundation.
Real engineers make it bulletproof.
Most dev agencies take months and charge $30k+. AI-only platforms produce fragile code with no support. Decoded combines both: AI handles the heavy lifting, 40+ engineers handle the nuance, quality, and complex parts.
That's how we ship production-grade software in 14 days from $7,000.
AI-Powered Speed
AI generates the foundation in hours, not weeks
Real Engineers
40+ developers refine, test, and ship production code

Four steps. Fourteen days.
From $7,000.
No procurement headaches. No months of waiting. Just a fixed price and real engineers.

Built for businesses that need more than off-the-shelf.
Businesses outgrowing SaaS
Tired of paying for platforms that don't quite fit. Replace generic, off-the-shelf SaaS with something built around how your team actually works.
Organisations needing internal tools
Government bodies, corporates, and large organisations that need custom platforms for reporting, compliance, operations, or staff portals.
Companies building for their customers
Businesses that need something their customers interact with. Client portals, booking systems, marketplaces, and customer-facing apps.
Founders with an idea
You've got a concept and need a technical partner to make it real. From idea to live product, tested with real users.

Your idea stays yours.
Telling a studio your idea shouldn’t feel risky. So we make it safe before you say a word.
An optional mutual NDA
We keep your idea confidential either way. Want it in writing? A mutual NDA is ready to sign, and we’ve already signed our side.
Every project is walled off
Each build runs in its own silo. Your ideas, files and IP are never shared across clients or used anywhere else. Ever.
You own 100% of it
The code, the designs, the IP, all yours, outright. We build it; you own it.
Backed by our services agreement and certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and 42001. Our reputation depends on protecting yours.
Everything you need to know.
We use advanced AI tools and 5 years of pre-built components to accelerate coding, design, and testing.
Our engineering team then focuses on quality, custom logic, and polish. This combination lets us deliver in a fraction of the traditional time.
We've done it 200+ times.
We build across five core formats:
- Websites
- Web apps
- Progressive web apps (PWA)
- Native apps (Apple and Android)
- AI agent platforms
These cover 90% of what's needed in business and application development. Your project will dictate which one is right for you.
Starting from $7,000 NZD for general business apps and CRMs. Most apps can be done in this budget. As a guide:
- Standard Business Web Apps: $7,000 NZD
- Progressive Web Apps (PWA): $8,000 NZD
- Apps with AI Agents: $9,000 NZD
- Native Apps (Apple and Android): $10,000 NZD
- SaaS with Billing: $15,000 NZD
We'll go over it with you on the discovery call and show you the options.
We've built many of the core components already and have our own AI systems that help scope, build, test, and deliver complex applications at a fraction of traditional development costs.
We've built this up over 5 years and can now deliver very complex applications quickly and effectively.
Fully functional, production-grade software, built to the scope we agree on. Deployed, secure, integrated with your existing tools where needed, and ready for your team or customers to use from day one.
That's exactly where most of our best projects start. You don't need a spec sheet. You need a conversation. We'll help you think through the product properly on the discovery call.
Absolutely. We build software that connects to your existing tools, like CRM, accounting software, email platform, or other systems. We can integrate to APIs or MCPs for a wide range of products.
Yes, 100%. Once the project is complete and paid for, you own the code outright. You can host it wherever you like and modify it, or pick one of our service plans.
We iterate until you're happy. If the final product doesn't meet the agreed scope, we'll make it right, or offer a full refund. You won't get invoiced for the final payment until you are live.
You can choose to take the application and host it yourself for free, or choose one of our ongoing support packages from $250 to $2,000 per month. No lock-in. Cancel anytime.
Yes. 40+ engineers covering everything from simple MVPs to multi-user platforms with complex integrations. The team also includes brand/product specialists and UX/UI designers. If a project needs more time or budget, we'll tell you upfront on the discovery call.
We don't disappear. Choose a support plan or self-host. Need updates, new features, or bug fixes? We're still your team. Our Developer plan includes 40 hours of development per month.
Let's build it.
