I build AI-powered websites and SaaS products for clients. My package is $4,997. The build takes about 90 minutes.
Before you call me a scammer — let me explain why clients are happy to pay it.
Pricing Isn't Based on Time
If I charged $200/hr, 90 minutes = $300. I'd be punished for being fast.
Instead, I price on outcome value:
| Option | Cost | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Agency | $15K-$50K | 3-6 months |
| Freelancer | $5K-$15K | 1-2 months |
| Me | $4,997 | 48 hours |
Same result. 1/3 cost. 1/60 time.
Those 90 Minutes = 6 Months of System Building
- 23 custom Claude Code skill files with battle-tested code patterns
- 13 MCP server connections (Stripe, GitHub, databases, browser automation)
- A CLAUDE.md directive enforcing self-verification on every build
- Hundreds of hours debugging and optimizing
A junior dev with Claude Code takes 2 weeks. My speed IS the expertise.
What the Client Gets in 48 Hours
- Working product deployed to production
- Accepting real Stripe payments
- SEO-optimized (meta tags, schema, sitemap)
- Security-hardened (CSP, CORS, rate limiting)
- Mobile-responsive, accessible
- Full refund guarantee
The Pitch
I'll build your complete AI-powered product with payments, SEO, and security. Deployed within 48 hours. $4,997. Full refund if not satisfied.
No hourly rate. No ambiguity. No scope creep. Clients love certainty.
Pricing Lessons

- Price the outcome — a deployed SaaS is worth $5K regardless of build time
- Speed is premium — clients pay MORE for faster
- Guarantee closes deals — eliminates objections
- Portfolio is everything — show thewedgemethodai.com and AgentDesk
