The Agency
Built the product, then moved on. The roadmap still needs expert attention.
Continuous Development Contract
One monthly seat. The right expert on your product roadmap. Every month.
No hiring. No ghosting. No agency disappearing after delivery. Just consistent, expert development, month after month.
The Problem
Your product launched. Your roadmap didn't stop growing.
The Freelancer
Available one month, missing the next. Momentum depends on one person showing up.
The Full-Time Hire
One skill set. Backend this month, mobile the next, QA after that. One hire doesn't cover it.
The agency that built your product has moved on. The freelancer situation is its own problem, available one month, nowhere to be found the next. And bringing on a full-time developer seems like the obvious fix until the actual picture becomes clear.
This is the gap that kills momentum after launch. Not the idea. Not the market. The resourcing problem nobody planned for, and that most founders end up solving the wrong way, expensively.
The CDC was built specifically to solve this exact situation.

One seat. Rotating experts. Matched to your roadmap every month.
CDC is a monthly development subscription. You get one full-time development seat, but the expert behind that seat rotates based on what your product roadmap actually needs that month.
You don't manage a team. You don't chase anyone. You tell us what needs to get done, and we put the right person on it.
The breakdown below is a typical month. The exact allocation shifts based on what your product needs, some months are heavier on features, others on infrastructure or fixes.
Product design
Screen updates, new user flows, and interface refinements before development starts.
Feature development
The systems behind the product: new features, integrations, data, and business logic.
Deployment and hosting
Release setup, hosting work, monitoring, and product stability checks.
Testing and release checks
Testing new work, checking existing features still work, fixing issues, and preparing the release.
Continuity
Every month ends with a structured handover document, codebase notes, decisions made, work completed, open items. The incoming expert is briefed before Day 1. Context doesn't live in one person's head. It lives in the documentation. You don't lose ground between rotations.

The Math
How CDC compares to your other options.
| In-House Developer | Freelancer | CDC - AppWorx | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $2,200-7,000 | $1,800-10,000 | Contact us |
| Skill coverage | One skill set | One skill set | All skills covered, design, dev, testing |
| Accountability | High | Low | High |
| Onboarding time | 4-8 weeks | 1-2 weeks | Day 1 |
| Continuity | High | Inconsistent | Structured |
| Flexibility | Low | Medium | Cancel anytime |
| Recruitment cost | One-time fee | Per hire | Zero Cost |
| Benefits & overhead | Your cost | None | None |
By the time equipment, software licenses, AI tooling, design tools, benefits, and replacement costs get factored in, in-house hiring is never as clean as the initial number suggests. Freelancers look cheaper on paper, but that trade comes with no accountability, no process, and a cycle most founders have already been through: output that varies wildly, months where nothing ships, and someone who stops responding when the work gets difficult.
Is CDC Right For You?
CDC was built for a specific situation. Here's how to know if it's yours.
Your product is live and the roadmap is growing faster than you're shipping
You've been burned by a developer or agency that disappeared after delivery
You need more than one type of expert but can't justify hiring three people
You want structured, accountable development without managing a team internally
You're between funding rounds and need to keep moving without a full-time hire
Not the right starting point?
If you're still building your first version from scratch, CDC isn't the right fit yet, but a project engagement is. We've taken Gulf founders from idea to launched product before, and we can do the same for you.
