Our services

We build foundations that don't crack.

Great companies are built on solid infrastructure. We create brands and systems that adapt and flourish no matter where the market takes you.

Infrastructure that pays for itself.

Your cloud bill is bleeding. We stop the bleed. We audit your infrastructure, find the waste, and fix it. Most clients see 30-50% reduction in monthly costs within weeks.

Senior developers, on demand.

Skip the hiring headache. World-class engineers starting at €400/day. No long-term contracts, no recruitment fees. Plug senior talent into your team tomorrow.

From concept to launch—and beyond.

When you need more than a contractor, you need a partner. We embed a dedicated team into your product. Apps, platforms, experiences that scale. This is how ambitious companies ship their most important work.

Clients ♥ us

We were paying $5,000/month for a WordPress agency and getting nothing. blackspike rebuilt everything on Vercel for $25/month. Our site actually ranks on page one now.

Three previous dev shops shipped spaghetti code that broke every month. blackspike audited it, rewrote the core, and we haven't had an incident since. Wish we'd found them first.

Needed a senior iOS engineer for a sprint. Had someone in our Slack next day. Only asked for GitHub access and repo secrets—first build on the App Store six days later. No meetings, no onboarding BS.

Our cloud bill was $12k/month and climbing. They found $7k of waste in the first audit. Now we scale faster for less money.

They didn't just build our app—they taught our team how to build it right. Two years later and we're still using the patterns they set up.

Last agency charged us €120/day for a "senior" dev. Turns out the kid got €35 and the rest funded their HR team, ping pong tables, and sales guys who cold-call me. blackspike just ships. No bloat.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you start?
Tomorrow. For developer body leasing, we can have senior engineers in your Slack and committing code within 24-48 hours. For infrastructure audits, we typically start within a week. Full-scale projects kick off once we've scoped your needs—usually 2-3 weeks from first conversation.
What do you actually build?
Whatever your product needs. We ship web apps, mobile apps (iOS and Android), platforms, APIs, infrastructure, and the systems that tie it all together. We don't do blockchain for the sake of it—we solve real problems with solid engineering.
How does pricing work?
Transparent and straightforward. Developer leasing starts at €400/day. Infrastructure audits are fixed-fee based on your stack size. Full projects are scoped on time and materials—we tell you exactly what you're paying for, no surprises.
Do you work with startups or enterprises?
Both. We've helped startups launch from zero to product-market fit, and we've helped enterprises cut millions in cloud waste while modernizing legacy systems. If you have a real problem that needs solving, we're interested.
What's the commitment?
Whatever makes sense for you. Developer leasing and audits are no long-term contracts—plug us in, we deliver, you decide what's next. Full projects are obviously a bigger commitment, but we start with paid discovery so you can test the fit before going all in.
I don't have a business—can I still hire you?
In most cases, yes—but we're strict. We work with solo founders, indie hackers, and people building on the side. The requirement is simple: you have a real problem to solve and the budget to solve it. We're not here to validate ideas or build equity-only moonshots.
