I Launched a $4,999/Month Web Development Subscription — Here's Why

Yesterday, I launched Unreal Brains — a high-touch, flat-rate web development subscription for fast-moving startups and small businesses.

It costs $4,999/month.
It’s just me right now.
And yes — that’s very intentional.


Why I built this

Over the years, I’ve built and launched SaaS tools, scraped data, worked on open-source, traded stocks, and developed dashboards and internal tools using a wide stack of modern technologies.

I’ve always preferred building over pitching. And I wanted a model that lets me focus purely on solving technical problems — while giving founders and businesses a faster alternative to hiring.

Unreal Brains is my way of delivering high-quality full-stack development, one task at a time, without the usual friction.


What you get

For a flat monthly price, you get access to a solo developer (me) who:

  • Can build your MVP, landing page, dashboard, or backend workflows
  • Works across frontend and backend
  • Writes clean, understandable, production-ready code
  • Uses AI responsibly to move faster (but never blindly)
  • Delivers in ~48 hours per request (on average)

Tech I work with

  • Frontend: Astro, Svelte, Tailwind, DaisyUI
  • Backend: Supabase, FastAPI, Flask, Django, PostgreSQL
  • Data & Tools: Streamlit, Pandas, custom data analytics tools, scraping, automation

Not just SaaS — I build for more

While Unreal Brains is great for fast-growing SaaS startups, the services aren’t limited to just that.

I can also help with:

  • Landing pages for small businesses
  • Shopify eCommerce site customization
  • AI-integrated dashboards or tools
  • Internal web tools for operations or analytics
  • Static marketing sites and personal brands

Basically, if it’s on the web — I can likely build it.


The $4,999 price tag

This is for businesses that need senior-level execution — without the slow hiring pipeline, onboarding delays, or inconsistent freelancers.

Here’s how it compares:

  • A junior dev: ~$6K/month + overhead + management
  • A decent agency: Usually way more
  • A solo freelancer: Might ghost halfway through

With Unreal Brains, there’s no back-and-forth. You send a task, I build and ship — simple.


Is this for you?

If you:

  • Have a clear roadmap or feature list
  • Want fast, professional builds without micromanagement
  • Need frontend, backend, or data automation done cleanly

…then Unreal Brains might be exactly what you need.

If you’re looking for the cheapest possible dev, or want to offload a 6-month roadmap in week one — I’m probably not your guy.


What’s next?

Right now:

  • Just launched
  • No clients yet
  • Big dreams, small team (still just me)

If this turns into a sustainable indie business — great.
If it helps a few founders or small businesses move faster — still worth it.
