How Much Does It Cost to Fix an AI-Built App?

What Affects the Price
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it cheaper to fix an AI-built app or start over?
Fixing is almost always cheaper, because we keep and build on the working parts of your app rather than rebuilding from scratch. We start with an audit so you know exactly what is needed before committing.
What is the first step to getting my AI app fixed?
A code and security audit. We review what you built, identify the bugs, vulnerabilities and architecture issues, and give you a clear, fixed quote with no surprises. The audit alone often pays for itself.
Which AI tools can you fix apps from?
We regularly rescue apps built with Lovable, Bolt.new, Cursor, v0, Replit, Windsurf, Base44, and ChatGPT or Claude. Whatever you built it with, we can audit and fix it.
Will I own the code after you fix it?
Yes. You get full ownership of a clean, documented codebase that you or any developer can maintain and grow. No lock-in.
