Can Lionforce build AI features into our software?

Yes. We have shipped 30+ AI-powered products including chatbots, RAG assistants, document intelligence, computer vision, and AI workflow automation using GPT-5, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 3, and open source models like Llama and Mistral.

How much does custom software development cost?

MVP web applications: $25,000-$60,000. Mobile apps (iOS + Android): $35,000-$80,000. AI-powered SaaS platforms: $50,000-$150,000. Enterprise systems: custom quote. We provide fixed-price quotes after a 1-week discovery phase.

Do you sign NDAs and IP assignment agreements?

Yes. Every project starts with a mutual NDA. All code, designs, and IP are assigned to your company on payment. Our standard MSA includes both clauses, or we can use yours.

How does Lionforce handle code quality and security?

Every project includes automated tests, code reviews, OWASP top-10 security baseline, dependency scanning, secrets management, and CI/CD pipelines. Optional add-ons: SOC 2 alignment, penetration testing, accessibility audits.

Can Lionforce maintain software we already have?

Yes. We offer dedicated maintenance teams for legacy applications including bug fixes, feature additions, infrastructure migrations, security patches, and modernization. Common stacks supported include legacy PHP, .NET, Java, Ruby on Rails, and old React/Angular versions.

What is the difference between fixed-price and dedicated team engagement?

Fixed-price suits well-defined MVPs and one-off projects with clear scope. Dedicated team (2-10 engineers, monthly retainer) suits ongoing product development, multiple parallel features, and roadmap-driven work. Most clients start fixed-price for MVP, then move to dedicated team.
