Seven kinds of work

What we build for owner-run businesses

Each has a published starting price, a written scope and a ship date in the contract. If a tool that lists for $16 to $50 a month already does the job, we say so and you keep your money.

Rent a tool

$16 to $50 / mo

Best when a standard tool already fits how you work.

  • Live in days
  • Costs little to start
  • Fits your exact workflow
  • Flat price as you add seats or locations
  • Code and data in your name

Build with Benchford

From $4,950

Best when you keep bending your business around a tool.

  • Live in days
  • Costs little to start
  • Built around your workflow
  • Care plan is flat, not per seat
  • Code and data in your name

Tools and AI

How the work gets done, said plainly.

We use AI-assisted development tools to write and test code. An engineer reviews every change before it ships, and the engineer is the person you talk to. Your contract has a short Tools and AI section that says this in plain words.

It is part of why a build costs less and ships on a date we can write down. It is not what we sell. What we sell is software that works as written on your acceptance checklist, owned by you. Care plans for hosting, monitoring and upkeep are $149, $299 or $499 a month, plus applicable tax, month to month with a one-step cancel and a full export.
