A builder we have not listed

Your builder is not on the list. Its failures are.

Glide, Softr, Bubble, FlutterFlow, Retool, an internal tool somebody built for you, an AI whose name you never caught: the eight named elsewhere on this site are the ones people arrive with most often and they are not the only ones. None of the faults below belongs to a tool. They come from generated code reaching a real domain before anybody decided who owns a row, where a credential lives, or what should happen when a request is refused. That short list is the same whatever wrote the code.

The same failures, whatever generated the code

Configuration that only ever existed where you built it

Keys, addresses and switches were typed into the place you were working and nowhere the running site can read them. Hosted builders put a publish button over that gap, so the result reads as the whole app being broken rather than as one absent value. What the project asks for against what the live environment holds is the first comparison we make.

Records that belong to the app rather than to a person

A generated table gives a row a title and a date and no owner, so every read has to remember to filter by hand and one query written in a hurry returns the lot. It behaves correctly for as long as yours is the only account, which is what keeps it in place until the second customer signs up.

Being signed in treated as being allowed

Sign-in exists, and nothing after it asks whether this person may have this particular record. Hidden menus and disabled buttons stand in for the check, and they hold until somebody edits an identifier in an address. Platforms differ in where that question can be enforced; they do not differ in having to ask it.

Nothing anywhere keeps a record of what went wrong

Whatever the fault turns out to be, the first hour of it goes on establishing that the fault occurred: an error caught and replaced with a courteous message, a platform whose history reaches back two days, no trace of which payments or enquiries were even attempted. Somewhere for failures to be written down is usually the cheapest line in a quote and the one that shortens every quote after it.

Repairs aimed at wherever the failure surfaced

Each round adjusts the screen that misbehaved and leaves the contradiction underneath it in place, so the fault relocates instead of closing. Projects reach us several layers into that, and some of those layers are now carrying weight nobody intended, which is why they cannot be stripped out in one pass.

You have never worked in my builder. Does that matter?
Less than it sounds as though it should. What gets read is the running site, its network traffic, its logs and whatever the platform will export, none of which requires having used the product before. Where something genuinely is specific to yours, learning it is an hour inside the audit rather than a reason to turn the work down.
What if the platform will not let me give you access?
Then we work from what you can hand over: a recording of the failure happening, the exported data, the network panel on a page that misbehaves, and a view-only invitation where one exists. A closed platform narrows what can be repaired in place, and you are told where that line falls for yours before you pay for anything.
Will the answer be to rebuild it somewhere open?
Occasionally, and it is priced next to the alternative so the decision stays yours. A platform that cannot express the next thing you need is worth leaving; one that merely feels confining while it is doing the job is not, and the findings separate those two cases rather than blurring them.
How can the price be fixed if you do not know the tool?
Because the audit is a fixed piece of work rather than an estimate of an unknown repair: read the evidence, name the cause, quote the fix. The quote arrives once the repair is known, so an unfamiliar platform costs us reading time and costs you nothing extra.

How it works

Audit

$199$349promo

You send a link, a repo, or both. We reproduce the problem, read the code, and record a short walkthrough: what's broken, why it broke, and what it takes to fix. You get written findings and a fixed quote.

Full Fix

Priced after the audit

Scoped from the audit and agreed before anything starts. We fix the cause rather than the symptom, and hand back something maintainable, with a written note on what changed and why.

Nobody can price this honestly before seeing the code. The audit is what makes a firm number possible.

The audit is a fixed price and you know it before you pay. Everything after it is quoted from what the audit actually found, and you approve the number before any work starts.

Why trust us with it

What we can show you is who does the work, what it costs, and how well we already know the failure you are staring at.

A desk at night, the walkthrough being recorded

A small agency, not a marketplace

This is run by a small web agency. The person who records your audit is the person who does the fix, so you're not being routed to an anonymous bidder.

The audit stands on its own

Plenty of people take the findings and do the work themselves, or hand them to their own developer. That is a fine outcome and nothing is bundled to stop it.

Fixed price, agreed up front

You approve a number before work starts. If the job turns out harder than we estimated, that's ours to absorb, not a change order.

Built with one of these? You're in the right place.

Lovable
Lovable projects usually break at the Supabase edge: environment variables that never reached production, or row-level security left open on a table that holds real customer data.
Bolt
Bolt ships fast and leaves the build config behind. The deploy fails on a missing package, a Node version, or an API key that only ever existed in the preview.
Replit
Replit apps run fine in the workspace and 500 on a real domain: ports, file paths and secrets that were never wired up for the deployed process.
Cursor
Cursor edits confidently across files it has not read. Two features end up disagreeing about the same state, and the bug moves every time you fix it.
v0
v0 gives you the interface, not the wiring. Forms post to nothing, server actions are still stubs, and auth is a component rather than a session.
Windsurf
Windsurf refactors reach further than intended. Imports, types and routes drift apart until the build stops on something unrelated to what you changed.
Base44
Base44 apps hit their ceiling at data and roles: the model that fit the demo cannot carry a second kind of user without redoing what sits underneath it.
Claude Code
Claude Code writes real code, which means real dependencies, migrations and tests. When it breaks, it breaks somewhere prompting cannot reach.

What it usually turns out to be

It works locally, then 500s once deployed
Nearly always an environment variable, a build step or a file path that only exists on your machine. The code is usually fine.
The AI keeps fixing the same bug
Each pass patches the symptom because the cause sits a layer down, in the data model or in how state is shared. Prompting harder does not reach it.
Forms submit but nothing arrives
The browser gets a success back while the server quietly fails. Without error handling and logs nobody finds out until a customer complains.
Logins drop or leak between users
Session and auth code copied from an example built for a different rendering model. It looks right in testing and breaks under real traffic.

And what nobody notices until later

Security is the part an AI builder is quietest about. None of these stop the app working, which is exactly why they ship.

The database is open to anyone with the URL
Supabase and Firebase hand the browser a key on purpose — the row policies are what actually guard the data. Generated projects routinely ship with those policies off, which turns a public key into a key to everything.
Secrets that shipped to the browser
A service key pasted into a component, or one prefixed NEXT_PUBLIC_ so the build would stop complaining. It is in the page source, readable in devtools, and the bill for it is yours.
Any logged-in user can read every other user's data
The endpoint takes an id and returns that record without ever asking whose it is. Nothing looks wrong while you are the only account; change the number in the URL and you are in someone else's.
Nothing stops the same request a thousand times over
No rate limit and no real validation on the public routes, so login, password reset and checkout can each be hammered until something gives. Generated code almost never adds this on its own.

If you recognised your own problem somewhere above, that is the point. The audit is where you find out which one it actually is.
