Stop Renting Software.
Build It. Own It. Pay Once.
Your SaaS stack costs thousands every month - and you own none of it. We build custom websites, tracking, dashboards, and automation that you pay for once and keep forever. 60–75% cheaper. Full source code. Zero lock-in.
The problem no one talks about
SaaS Is Expensive. And You Own
Exactly Nothing.
Every month you pay for software someone else controls. After years of payments, you can't even export your own workflows.
Average 3-year SaaS spend
CRM, analytics, dashboards, automation - most companies bleed $2K–6K/month on tools they barely use. Every renewal is a price hike. Every new seat costs extra. The meter never stops.
Code you own after 5 years of SaaS
Cancel the subscription - lose everything. Your data, your workflows, your dashboards. Five years of payments and you walk away with an export file. That's not software - that's rent.
SaaS products shut down since 2015
Google Reader, Parse, Fabric, Segment (acquired), Tableau (acquired). Every tool you depend on is someone else's exit strategy. When they pivot, you migrate - on your dime.
Custom-Built Software.
A Fraction of SaaS Cost.
Every system is a one-time build - hosted in Germany, delivered with complete source code, and yours to keep permanently.
Custom Website
WordPress averages 4.2s load time and 13,000+ CVEs. You pay $24K+ over 3 years in agency retainers and own nothing at the end.
- 100/100 Lighthouse - LCP 0.4s, TBT 0ms (test fwdelta.com right now)
- No plugins, no CVE surface, no monthly patches or retainers
- Full source code, your hosting, your domain - forever yours
Server-Side Tracking
Ad blockers and iOS erase 30% of your conversion data. Your ad platforms optimize on wrong signals. GA 360 costs $150K/year - for sampled data you don't own.
- 99.8% signal recovery via Meta, Google & TikTok Conversions API
- First-party data on your server - ad blockers and iOS bypassed
- One-time setup, zero monthly fees, 100% GDPR-compliant
Custom Dashboards
Tableau charges per seat. Looker charges per query. Every new analyst on your team is another line item on someone else's invoice.
- Sub-100ms real-time KPIs - no data warehouse required
- Unlimited users, unlimited dashboards - zero per-seat fees
- Direct database connections, mobile-ready, fully branded
Custom Automation
Zapier charges per task. Make charges per operation. At scale, you're paying thousands/month for if-then logic you could own outright.
- ERP, CRM, legacy - any source, any target, any logic
- Event-driven and scheduled triggers with full audit logs
- Unlimited executions - no per-task pricing, no throttling
Custom Software
Off-the-shelf SaaS covers 70% of your needs and charges you 100% of the price. The last 30% - the part that makes you competitive - doesn't exist in their roadmap.
- Internal tools, portals, APIs - built exactly for your workflow
- React, Python, Node.js, Rust - production-proven stack
- Fully documented, easily maintainable by any developer
SaaS Disappears When You Stop Paying.
Custom Code Is Yours for Life.
Every system we build becomes an asset on your balance sheet. No vendor can take it away.
Complete Source Code
Full Git repository on day 1. Every line, every config, every deployment script. No restrictions, no vendor keys.
Balance Sheet Asset
Custom software is capitalized under IAS 38 - it adds enterprise value. SaaS fees are just operating expenses that vanish.
Modify Freely
Your devs, any agency, any freelancer - modify without asking permission. No vendor approval, no API limits, no platform lock-in.
Zero Vendor Risk
No acquisitions, no price hikes, no feature deprecation. Your system keeps running when every SaaS competitor shuts down.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before making the switch.
Pricing & Ownership
What exactly is included in the fixed price?
Everything: development, infrastructure setup, integrations, testing, documentation, deployment, training, and 90 days of support. No hourly overruns, no hidden extras. Payment: 50% upfront, 25% at staging, 25% at go-live.
Do I really own the code - no strings attached?
Yes. Complete source code, full Git access, all documentation, infrastructure credentials. You can modify, extend, resell, or do anything with it. It's a permanent asset - not a license.
What if I need changes after delivery?
You own the code - your team can ship changes immediately. Or hire us at $150–200/hr with no retainer. Or hire any developer. Everything is documented and fully transferable.
How is this cheaper than SaaS long-term?
SaaS charges monthly forever with annual price hikes. We charge once. After year 1, your cost is $0 while SaaS keeps billing. Over 3 years, the math is clear: custom saves 60–75%. Plus, your software becomes an IAS 38 asset on your balance sheet - SaaS fees are just expenses.
Technical & Timeline
What tech stack do you use?
Production-proven: Python (FastAPI/Django) or Node.js for backends, PostgreSQL/MySQL for databases, React/Vue or Astro for frontends, Docker on Hetzner bare-metal. Standard, documented, maintainable - zero proprietary lock-in.
Where is everything hosted?
Hetzner data centers in Germany (Nuremberg/Falkenstein). ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. GDPR-compliant by default. Your data stays on EU servers - never transferred to the US.
How long does a project take?
Website: 4–6 weeks. Tracking: 4–6 weeks. Dashboards: 3–5 weeks. Automation: 4–8 weeks. Custom software: 6–12 weeks. Timeline is guaranteed in the contract - not an estimate.
