Why this fast, at this price

Most studios sell time. Codeks sells a date and a number. AI writes the boilerplate, a senior engineer makes every decision, and the same person is on every call from scoping to launch. That is how a product ships in weeks at a price you saw before the call.Most studios sell time. Codeks sells a date and a number.

Why it is boring

The same managed pieces products far larger than yours run on. Nothing to rewrite when you grow, nothing a future hire can’t read.

The engineer

Fortan Pireva

Founder & Senior Full-Stack Engineer · Pristina, Kosovo

Six years building production systems for startups and scale-ups, web and mobile, with AI as the tool that makes one engineer as fast as a team. On every Codeks project you talk to the person writing the code.

How much does it cost to build an MVP?

$5K fixed for the MVP Sprint: a web app with auth, one core flow and Stripe payments, deployed on your own accounts, in two to four weeks. A full product with web, iOS and Android runs $10K–$25K over four to eight weeks. Both prices are published and agreed in writing before work starts.

How fast can you build my app?

Two to four weeks for the MVP Sprint, four to eight weeks for a full Product Build. You get a working URL by day 5 and a live demo every three to four days. The launch date is in the contract.

Is $5K really enough?

For one product that does one thing well, yes. It covers auth, one core flow, Stripe, a clean system UI and deployment. It does not cover native mobile apps, custom brand design, a second payment provider or more than one extra integration, and it assumes about eight screens. Those belong to the Product Build.

What happens if you miss the date?

50% to start, 50% on deployment. If the date agreed at scoping is missed, the second half is waived. App Store and Google Play review time does not count against the date. The date moves only if the scope changes in writing.

Do I own the code?

Yes, from the first commit. The repository, the documentation and the infrastructure live in your own GitHub, Vercel or AWS, Supabase and Stripe accounts. There is nothing to hand back and nothing to be locked into.

Should I start with a web app or a mobile app?

Web first, unless your users only ever reach for their phone. A web app ships faster and costs less, and the Product Build adds iOS and Android from the same codebase with Expo when you need them. If the idea only makes sense as a mobile app, start with the Product Build.

Is this cheaper than an agency? Cheaper than Upwork or Fiverr?

Cheaper than an agency, more expensive than a marketplace freelancer, and priced in advance either way. An agency usually quotes several times more and a quarter of calendar time for the same scope. A freelancer may quote less, but you carry the risk of the developer who goes quiet. Here one senior engineer is contractually on the hook for a date.

Can you build my idea with AI?

If a feature needs a model, it gets one: chat, search over your documents, extraction, classification, generation. If it doesn't, one is not added for the label. AI is also why the build is fast: it writes the boilerplate, and a senior engineer makes the decisions and reviews every line.

Do you take equity instead of cash?

No. Fixed price, paid in two halves. Equity conversations distort scope and timelines for both sides.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes, before the scoping call if you prefer. Send yours or ask for ours.

Where are you based, and what hours do you work?

Pristina, Kosovo, on Central European Time. That is a full working-day overlap with Europe and an afternoon overlap with the US East Coast. Daily written updates in a shared Slack channel, one planning call a week and a demo every three to four days.

How do I start?

Book a 30-minute call, or write two sentences about who uses the product and what it does. You leave the call with a scope, a price and a start date in writing.
