For apps built on Lovable, Replit, Bolt.new, and Base44

Your app works. Now it has to survive real customers.

AI Builders get you 70% of the way there in a weekend. Aspen handles the final stretch — establishing protections for you and your customers’ data, fixing the rough edges, and making sure your software keeps working as more people use it.

What the last 30% actually contains

The app runs, so nothing looks broken. What's missing is invisible from the browser, and it's exactly the kind of thing that shows up after a customer signs up, not before.

  • Anyone logged in can see anyone’s data

    A customer could pull up someone else’s account by changing one number in the browser.

  • Customer records aren’t actually kept separate

    One bad query could expose every customer’s data at once, not just one person’s.

  • Passwords and keys are sitting out in the open

    Anyone who can see your code can see your database password.

  • The login screen isn’t actually a lock

    Someone can skip the sign-in page entirely and talk to your app directly.

  • Backups exist, but nobody’s tried restoring one

    If something breaks, you may learn too late that your safety net doesn’t work.

  • Some building blocks have known holes

    Parts of your app depend on code with security issues nobody’s watching for.

Typically 8–14 findings in a first audit. Representative of patterns we see. Not one client's results.

This is not hypothetical

Lovable

Fixed scope, fixed price, published

Four products. Every one has a price you can read before you talk to us, and a timebox we hold ourselves to. Most people start at the top of the ladder and stop whenever they have what they need.

Know Your App

Security & Production-Readiness Audit

$499fixed price · 1 week

Before you invite real customers in, we take a close look at your app and identify the issues most likely to cause trouble.

Book an audit

What it covers

  • Can the right people access the right parts of the app—and nobody else?
  • Is customer information kept private and separated correctly?
  • Are passwords, payment keys, and other sensitive information protected?
  • Could someone reach data or features they shouldn’t be able to?
  • What could break, expose customer information, or become costly as you grow?
  • You’ll receive a clear, prioritized list of what we found, why it matters, and what to fix first. Most reviews uncover 8–14 actionable issues.

Scale Your App

Production Hardening Sprint

$7,500 – $15,000

fixed price · 2–3 weeks

We fix what the audit found and leave behind the tests and pipelines that keep it fixed.

  • Remediation of audit findings
  • Test coverage over the paths that matter
  • CI/CD pipeline
  • Monitoring and alerting
  • Targeted refactor where the code fights back

Own Your App

Platform Graduation

$10,000 – $25,000

scoped · scoped per app

You leave the platform with your code and data, running on infrastructure you own.

  • Code and database custody transferred to you
  • Platform auth replaced with a portable equivalent
  • Containerized deployment
  • Monitoring on your own infrastructure

Care Plan

$1,500 – $5,000

per month · month to month

Ongoing ownership once you are live, including review of whatever the agent wrote this week.

  • Monitoring and incident response
  • Dependency updates
  • Small feature work
  • Review of agent-generated changes before they ship

About Us

Not a queue, not a subcontractor, not an account manager who hands you off. The person who audits your app is the person who wrote this page. Both of us have histories you can check before you send an email.

Before you book anything

The honest answers, including the one that costs us the sale.

You may not need us.
If this is a prototype, an internal tool, or something a handful of colleagues use, the platform is better value than we are. Ship it there and spend nothing on this. Come back when it holds real customer data, takes payments, or someone outside your company depends on it.
Will you rewrite everything?
Usually not. Most apps get hardened in place — the code you have keeps working and we fix what is unsafe about it. A rewrite gets proposed only when the foundation cannot hold the fix, and we tell you that before you spend money on it.
Do we lose access to our builder?
No. You keep building on Lovable, Replit, Bolt or Base44 exactly as before. The Care Plan exists partly to review what the agent writes after we leave. Platform Graduation is a separate product you choose deliberately, not something that happens to you.
What if you find nothing?
Then you get a short report saying so, and you can show it to whoever asked the question. That has not happened yet — audits typically surface 8 to 14 issues — but the price is fixed either way, so we have no reason to inflate the list.
