What will it cost to build your product?

We estimate hours by phase, apply PM at 15% and QA at 25% of production hours, then show you three cost scenarios side by side. Adjust any phase before you book.

What changes

The cost of building on borrowed time.

Without Kingbird
With Kingbird
Operations tools
Spreadsheets and broken Zaps. One failed automation stops the entire workflow.
A purpose-built tool that matches your workflow. You own it. Your team runs it without us.
Vendor relationship
The offshore agency disappears after handoff. No documentation. The phone goes unanswered.
Direct access to the engineer throughout the engagement. Not a project manager. The person writing the code.
Compliance and reporting
You reconcile three separate systems the night before an audit.
Every record timestamped and exportable from day one. The audit is one click.

The engagement

Three steps. No retainer. You own the output.

Step 01

Intake call

30 minutes to scope what you need and what you do not. We leave with a defined problem or we stop there. No commitment required.

Step 02

Fixed-scope build

Defined deliverable, defined timeline, defined price. Scope creep is Kingbird's problem to manage, not yours.

Step 03

Shipped and handed off

You own the code. Full documentation. We stay available for the next scope on your terms.

Works with your existing stack

We integrate with your EHR, scheduling system, or data source. Nothing gets ripped out. Your team keeps using the tools they know, and the new tool fills the gap they were working around.

$

Fixed-scope, not hourly

You know the cost before work starts. We scope the engagement, price it, and deliver it. No billing surprises at the end of the month.

Founding client pricing

First 10 clients lock in before we scale.

We are taking 10 founding clients at a rate that does not exist after these spots fill. Each engagement includes a dedicated onboarding call, direct Slack access to the engineer, and delivery within 6 weeks.

  • Direct Slack access to the founding engineer
  • Dedicated onboarding call before work starts
