There's no flat price — the cost tracks how much of your Lovable or Cursor MVP is salvageable versus what has to be rebuilt for security, data integrity, and scale. Kiyansh Group starts with a free triage that reads your actual code and accounts, then quotes a fixed scope so you know the full number before any work begins. Because a senior US engineer directs AI agents through the rebuild, the work is measured in days and priced at a boutique rate rather than an enterprise one.

AI builders like Lovable, Cursor, Bolt, v0, and Replit are good at getting a working demo on screen, but they routinely ship exposed API keys, client-side secrets, no real authentication, a database with no constraints or migrations, and business logic sitting in the front end where anyone can change it. A rescue is mostly the cost of fixing those specific things: locking down auth and secrets, rebuilding the data layer so it can't be corrupted, moving logic server-side, and adding the validation, error handling, and tests a real user base needs. A prototype that's mostly UI with one clean data model is a smaller job than one that already has payments, user roles, and third-party integrations wired in loosely.
We don't price blind. The free triage is a senior engineer reading your actual repository and accounts — not a sales call — to find what's safe to keep and what has to be rebuilt. From that we write a fixed scope: a defined list of what we'll deliver and one price for it, agreed before any work starts, so there's no open meter and no surprise invoice. If the triage shows your MVP is closer to production than you feared, the scope shrinks and so does the number; if it turns up something serious like exposed customer data, we tell you plainly before you've spent anything.
Production-grade means the app can take real users and real data without falling over or leaking. In practice a rescue covers real authentication and authorization, secrets moved out of the client and rotated, a database with proper schema, constraints, and migrations, business logic moved to the server, input validation, sensible error handling and logging, and a clean deploy you control. You own the code, the repository, and every account from day one — we don't hold your project on our infrastructure or lock you into a retainer to keep it running.
The rebuild is done by a senior US engineer directing AI agents, which is how the same scope a traditional shop would staff with a full team lands in days. That's a method, not a product we sell — the AI is how we move fast, but a person who has shipped production software makes the architecture and security calls the agents can't be trusted to make alone. It keeps the price boutique instead of enterprise, because you're paying for the work the rebuild actually needs, not a full team's overhead built into the number.
Usually a mix. The triage tells us exactly which parts are sound — often the UI and the general product shape are worth keeping — and which parts, like auth, the data layer, secrets, and anything security-sensitive, need to be rebuilt properly. We keep what's safe to keep because that's what holds the cost and timeline down, and we rebuild what can't be trusted in production. Starting completely from scratch is rare, and we'd tell you if it were the honest call.
Yes. You get a straight read on your MVP from a senior engineer: what's production-safe, what isn't, the specific risks such as exposed keys or an open database, and a fixed scope with a price if you want to move forward. There's no obligation to hire us afterward — if the triage shows you're fine, or that a rescue isn't worth it for you, we'll say so.
For a demo or an internal tool, keep going — those tools are great for that. The gap shows up when real users and real money arrive: security, data integrity, and reliability are exactly the things AI builders skip to hand you a fast demo, and they're the things that hurt most when they fail in production. A rescue exists for the moment your prototype has to become something people depend on.
You own all of it — the code, the repository, the hosting, and every third-party account — from day one, and we build on your accounts rather than ours. There's no required retainer and nothing that forces you to keep paying us to keep the app alive. If you want us for ongoing work later, that's your choice, not a lock-in.
Tell us what you need — a build, a rescue, or a contractor — and we'll come back with a clear next step.
