What comes after
Every project ends with full code ownership and a deployment runbook — self-host for free from day one. For teams that want Scalark to keep it running, we offer four maintenance plans.
Take the code and run it yourself. Everything you need to deploy independently.
Hosting handled for you. Infrastructure monitored and kept up to date. Covers apps up to 1,000 monthly active users.
Hosting, monitoring, maintenance, and 60 minutes of development work each month.
Dedicated infrastructure and priority support for apps with real traction and growing user bases.
All plans are optional and start after project handover. Cancel any time. See pricing on each offer page.
Compare
Scalark is the only path that builds you custom software, deploys it properly, hands you full ownership at a fixed price, and stays available to run or improve it after launch.

Integrations & infrastructure
Every system is built on production-grade infrastructure — the same tools your future team will already know. No exotic dependencies, no lock-in.
Productivity & Identity
Work with the tools already inside the business.
We connect to the systems your team already depends on — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, CRM, identity, and access tools — so the new software fits into the way the business already operates.
Infrastructure & Data
A real foundation, not a demo stack.
Every build is backed by the right cloud, database, deployment, and monitoring setup for the job — designed to be reliable at launch and adaptable as usage grows.
Payments, Messaging & Automation
Connect the moments that move revenue.
From Stripe payments to email, SMS, reminders, follow-ups, and workflow automation, we connect the channels that help the business get paid, respond faster, and reduce manual admin.
Don't see your stack? Most integrations are scoped during the discovery call — if the tool has an API, we can almost certainly connect it.

Fixed-price builds with no surprises, no handoffs, and no lock-in.
01
You know exactly what you are getting before a dollar changes hands. No hourly rates, no scope creep, no invoice surprises.

The person who scopes your product builds it. No account managers, no handoffs, no context lost between teams.
03
You receive the full source code, deployment handover, and setup documentation at delivery — so the product can be maintained by Scalark, your team, or another developer.
04
Based in Wollongong, NSW. In-person for Illawarra clients. Remote delivery for founders and operators across Australia.
Mission
Scalark exists to close the gap between an idea and working software — without the agency invoice, the platform lock-in, or the retainer creep.
Most Australian businesses lose months and tens of thousands of dollars in the space between "we need software" and "the software is live."
AI app builders look brilliant for the first ten minutes, then break when real users arrive. Development agencies start at $20,000 and take three months. No-code platforms keep you renting your own product forever. Freelancers ship and disappear.
There is room in the middle. That is where Scalark works.
Founders with a validated idea who need a working product — not another prototype.
Operators running on spreadsheets, no-code platforms, AI app builders, or legacy software that has stopped fitting the way the business actually runs.
Australian businesses that want production-grade software at a fixed price, on a real timeline, without surrendering ownership of the result.
Software should fit how your business actually works — not how a platform will let it work.
The code you paid for is yours from day one of handover. Full source, full deployment, full documentation. No lock-in, no hostage data, no permission slips.
Fixed price means fixed price. The scope is written down before any payment changes hands. If anything needs to change, the agreement changes — together, in writing.
One senior engineer scopes, builds, and ships your product. No account managers, no handoffs, no context lost between teams.
After launch, the software should keep working. Hosting, monitoring, updates, and small improvements should be predictable — or handed back to you cleanly if you would rather run it yourself.
Three fixed-price paths from idea to live software.
A business website in 5 days. A working MVP in 4 weeks for $4,000. A full software rebuild in 8 weeks for $10,000.
Every build ends with source code, a deployment runbook, and a 60-minute handover call. You can self-host from there, or stay on a Scalark support plan — hosting handled, monitoring on, improvements continuous.
Wollongong, NSW. In-person across the Illawarra and Sydney. Remote across Australia.
FAQ
Full source code in a Git repository, a live deployed production environment on your domain, a 60-minute handover call, a deployment runbook, and a 14-day window to report any issues. Everything is yours.
Completely fixed. We agree on the full feature list in writing before work starts. If you want to add features during the build, we scope those separately. Nothing changes without written agreement from both sides.
No. You need to know what problem your product solves and who it is for. We handle everything technical from there — stack decisions, architecture, database design, deployment.
50% on signing to start work, 50% on delivery. The scope is fixed in writing before the first payment. No hourly invoices, no surprises.
The 14-day post-launch fix window covers any defect in the agreed scope at no cost. After that, you can move to the Active plan for ongoing support, or handle it yourself — the code is yours.
Most MVPs start as responsive web apps built with Next.js — faster to launch, easier to update, and usable on phones, tablets, and desktops. If your product needs a real iOS or Android app, we can scope that separately after the web version is validated.
The Production Extension (+$3,000, +4 weeks) adds Stripe payments, an admin dashboard, integrations, polish, and security hardening. MVP + Production = $7,000 AUD over 8 weeks.
