Senior software development, by subscription

One senior engineer. A team of AI agents.
Agency output at a fraction of agency cost.

Global consultancies now sell AI-powered engineering "pods" to enterprises at $20,000+ a month. Vance Digital brings the same model to companies that will never pay enterprise rates — flat monthly pricing, something shipped every week, no contracts.

Why this beats the alternatives

Fifteen years of enterprise software experience, multiplied by AI. You get the judgment of a senior engineer and the throughput of a team — without the overhead of either.

The Kickoff Sprint

Skeptical about AI-built software? Good — you shouldn't have to trust a pitch. In one week you get:

  • An audit of your codebase, or a full spec of your new project
  • A concrete, prioritized development plan you can execute with anyone
  • A small, working piece of real software — shipped to your repo, reviewed, production-quality

You risk less than the cost of two days of a single agency developer — and end the week judging shipped code, not promises. No obligation to continue.

The ground rules

So you know exactly what you're buying.

Your repo, your code, your IP

Everything is committed to your repository from day one. Cancel and you keep it all — documented and deployable.

AI-transparent

AI agents write much of the code; a senior engineer designs, directs, and reviews every line that ships. That combination is the product.

Weekly cadence

A shipped increment and a short demo every week. You always know where things stand.

Not included

24/7 on-call, guaranteed same-day turnaround, and rescue work on systems I haven't audited — that's what the Kickoff Sprint is for.

Common questions

Is AI-generated code actually production quality?

That's the right question, and it's why the Kickoff Sprint exists — judge the shipped code, not the pitch. Every line is reviewed by an engineer with 15 years of experience building for enterprise clients. AI changes the economics of development; it doesn't change the standard the code is held to.

What happens if I cancel?

Nothing bad. The code is already in your repo, documented, and deployable. Any developer can pick it up. Paused subscription time rolls forward.

What kinds of work fit this model?

Web applications, internal tools, integrations, automations, APIs, and AI features added to existing products. Unsure whether your project fits? The Kickoff Sprint answers that for $1,900.

Why so much cheaper than an agency?

No office, no account managers, no bench of junior developers to bill for. One senior engineer with heavy AI leverage has the output of a small team without the overhead of one.

Ready to see it work?

One week. $1,900. A real plan and real shipped software — then you decide.
