Mobile apps, SaaS, and AI — minus the agency tax.
Havok Labs is the disruption: senior engineers armed with AI automations, zero fluff, and pricing that shows its work. We ship production systems while dismantling the retainers that slow everyone else down.
How we price
- Outcome-based scopes
- Usage-aware infrastructure costs
- AI-assisted delivery without markup
If automation or a starter template solves it, we’ll tell you and charge accordingly. When it takes custom engineering, we build it fast and keep the margin honest.
Mobile apps
- Swift/Kotlin with observability, feature flags, and OTA updates
- Secure auth, payments, and compliance handled without nickel-and-diming
- App Store, Play Store, and enterprise distribution ready
Launch native experiences with senior engineers and honest hourly billing — not bloated retainers.
SaaS platforms
- Secure auth, roles, billing, subscriptions
- Dashboards, admin, audit trails, exports
- Background jobs, queues, webhooks
Battle‑tested patterns from enterprise dashboards to direct-to-consumer SaaS. No vendor lock‑in, no mystery glue.
iOS & Android apps
- Swift/Kotlin with native UX or cross‑platform where it fits
- Store readiness: signing, releases, feature flags
- Crash reporting, logs, and metrics from day one
App store‑ready builds with CI/CD and observability wired in. No “MVPs” that need a rebuild to scale.
AI copilots
- Content engines, data pipelines, ops copilots
- Secure key management and abuse guardrails
- Workflow orchestration and human‑in‑the‑loop
AI where it pays its own bill. We automate the boring, keep humans in control, and surface ROI that justifies killing the old retainer.
Why not WordPress?
Because you deserve software engineered for your goals — not a pile of plug‑ins held together with duct tape. AI makes shortcuts obvious; we’d rather out-build the shortcuts and hand you the savings.
Cookie‑cutter stacks slow you down
Theme marketplaces and plug‑in mazes look cheap until they collapse under traffic, break on updates, or lock you into someone else’s roadmap. We build lean systems that survive real load and cost less to operate.
We ship big‑boy software
Typed backends, strict SQL, secure sessions, and real deploys. CI, rollbacks, and logs. We operate like adults so your stack behaves like one — and you only pay for work that ships.
Stacks we excel at
Backend
PHP 8 (strict types, PSR‑12), MySQL 8 (InnoDB, utf8mb4), Redis, Node/TypeScript. Secure auth, RBAC, queues.
Frontend
Semantic HTML, accessible CSS, Vue, Vanilla JS. Core Web Vitals, responsive, Material‑aligned UI when needed.
Mobile
Swift, Kotlin, and pragmatic cross‑platform. Feature flags, OTA updates, crash + analytics baked in.
DevOps
GitHub Actions, Docker where needed, Netlify/Vercel/Fly, Nginx/Apache. Observability with Sentry and OpenTelemetry.
Bring us a hard problem
Need a flagship mobile app, a SaaS platform, or an AI copilot that ships fast and costs less? We’ll scope quickly, price transparently, and deliver the disruption your competitors will scramble to imitate.
