Coût et devis
What is included in a $290 website
Line-by-line scope of the Foundational Creations launch-site package: pages, SEO, forms, analytics, revisions, and what stays out of scope.
SaaS MVP cost: what $850 actually covers
A web product MVP from Foundational Creations starts at $850 USD. Auth, core flows, admin, staging, and 30 days of launch support. Typical calendar: four to eight weeks.
Flutter app cost for iOS and Android in 2026
A store-ready Flutter launch from Foundational Creations starts at $1,450 USD. Both stores, push, analytics, and privacy labels. Typical calendar: six to twelve weeks.
Custom LLM feature cost: chat, RAG, and agents
A production AI feature from Foundational Creations starts at $1,150 USD. Model choice, retrieval, tools, guardrails, and metering. Not a prototype that dies in a notebook.
AI chatbot development cost for support and sales
Custom support and sales chatbots from $490 USD. Intent routing, retrieval over your docs, human handoff. Foundational Creations quotes in USD within 48 hours.
Fixed-price development vs hourly agencies
Why Foundational Creations quotes fixed USD packages instead of a $200/hour bench. When hourly still makes sense, and how change requests are priced.
Build retainer vs a one-off project
A Foundational Creations build partner is $240 per month for 40 hours. When to buy a package instead, and how unused hours roll.
USD invoices if you are in the EU
Foundational Creations invoices in USD worldwide. DE, ES, and FR pages show an indicative euro amount. What that means for your finance team.
Comparaisons
Flutter vs React Native for a 2026 launch
How Foundational Creations chooses Flutter or React Native. Team skill, existing JS, store widgets, and what that does to a $1,450 mobile quote.
RAG vs fine-tuning for a product feature
When to retrieve over your documents and when to fine-tune. How Foundational Creations decides inside a $1,150 AI build, with evals instead of vibes.
Next.js vs Remix for a product studio
Why Foundational Creations defaults to Next.js for paid builds, when Remix is the better fit, and what that means for hosting cost.
Supabase vs Firebase for a first backend
Postgres with Supabase versus Firebase for MVPs we ship. Auth, row-level security, cost at 10k users, and when we put the API on your own Postgres instead.
Vercel vs AWS for a small product
When Foundational Creations deploys to Vercel or Netlify, and when we put the same Next.js app on AWS or GCP. Hosting cost in the first year.
GPT vs Claude vs Gemini in a production feature
How we pick a model for a paid AI feature. Cost, latency, tool use, and why the model is a config value, not the architecture.
Comment nous livrons
How we send a written USD quote in 48 hours
What to put in the brief, what we send back, and what happens if the scope will not sit still. Foundational Creations, Mon-Fri 09:00-18:00 IST.
What happens in the 90-minute scope call
Agenda for the Foundational Creations discovery call. Who should be in the room, what we decide, and what we write into the quote afterward.
What a six-week MVP looks like week by week
A typical Foundational Creations web-product calendar. Weekly staging demos, no slideware, and what is done by week six.
Why every build has a staging URL
How Foundational Creations uses preview and staging environments. You review a URL, not a PDF. Production is a promote, not a prayer.
How scope changes get priced
Change requests at Foundational Creations are written and priced before they land. No silent hour burn. How that works mid-build.
Why hire a small studio instead of a 40-person agency
Foundational Creations is a senior product team with fixed USD quotes. No account-manager layer on packages under $1,450. Who we are for, and who we are not.
Cheap offshore benches vs a senior fixed-price studio
A $290 site is cheap because the scope is small, not because the work is junior. When a large offshore bench is the wrong buy.
When you should not build an app yet
Cases where Foundational Creations will tell you to buy a $290 site, a no-code tool, or nothing. Saying no is part of the quote.
Notes de stack
Shipping Next.js App Router in production
How we set up a Next.js App Router product: metadata, caching, server actions that stay boring, and deploys that do not surprise you.
Postgres for a first product, not a toy database
Why Foundational Creations puts Postgres under MVPs. Migrations, backups, and when a spreadsheet is still the right store.
RAG over your own documents
How we wire retrieval-augmented generation into a product. Chunking, citations, refusals, and what dirty PDFs do to quality.
Agents with tools, not an endless chat box
When an AI feature should call tools (tickets, refunds, search) instead of chatting. How we bound that work inside a fixed quote.
App Store and Play submission, without the folklore
Privacy labels, screenshots, review notes, and the failures we see on first submit. Included in the $1,450 mobile launch.
CI and deploys for a two-person product team
GitHub Actions, preview URLs, and production promotes. The $190 cloud-and-launch path at Foundational Creations.
Auth for an MVP that will not embarrass you
Session vs JWT, magic links, social login, and the mistakes that leak other people’s data. How we wire auth in the $850 web product.
Typed APIs with Zod, not hope
How we validate every request at the boundary in Next.js and Node. The pattern behind our $390 backend floor and $850 web products.
Par secteur
Booking and ops software for hospitality
How we build reservation, guest, and staff tools for restaurants and hotels. Fixed USD quotes. Recappp is our own live product in this space.
Ops dashboards for logistics teams
Internal web tools for dispatch, tracking, and exceptions. Foundational Creations builds the dashboard and the API, quoted in USD.
Clinic and practice operations software
Scheduling, reminders, and internal tools for clinics. We are not your EHR. We will say no when the work is medical-device or diagnosis.
Inventory and retail ops apps
Stock, purchase orders, and store-floor tools. Web admin plus a phone app when the floor needs it. Fixed USD packages.
Education product MVPs
Cohorts, content, and simple progress tracking for training products. Foundational Creations quotes a first version in USD, not an LMS clone.
