The Idea

You pay a flat fee for your tier.
Add-ons are priced at cost + 25%.
No hidden fees. No surprises.

Early Access - Limited Capacity

Quality over growth. We're accepting a maximum of 5 new clients in our first month to ensure exceptional service as we refine operations.

Why the limit?

Hands-on onboarding: Each client receives direct founder attention during setup and the first 30 days
Infrastructure validation: We test our SOPs with real production workloads before scaling
Rapid iteration: Early clients help shape the service and get priority feature requests
Sustainable operations: Solo operator ensuring every database gets the attention it deserves

Once we validate operations with our first cohort, we'll gradually expand capacity while maintaining our quality standards.

What you get as an early customer:

Direct founder access: That's me, Jeremy
Email support: 4-hour SLA (business hours), typically 30-min response for everyone, 7 days/week
Slack support: +$29/mo (Shared/Dedicated) or included (Pro/Enterprise)
24/7 monitoring: Critical alerts go to my phone
Locked-in pricing: Your rate stays forever
Feature input: Direct influence on what gets built

Official SLA: 4-hour response (business hours). Reality: I typically respond within 30 minutes, 7 days/week.

Transparency

We show you everything. Most database providers hide their operations behind NDAs and corporate speak.

What we publish

Operations Manual - Every SOP we follow
Cost Breakdown - Exact infrastructure costs
Business Plan - Why we built this
Pricing Structure - How we calculate prices
Infrastructure - What we use and why

All docs are internal operations documents, unedited.

Database hosting has insane markups:

AWS RDS (4 vCPU / 8GB RAM)
├─ They charge:  $303/month
├─ Actual cost:  ~$12/month
└─ Markup:       2,425%

Google Cloud SQL (Same specs)
├─ They charge:  $403/month
├─ Actual cost:  ~$12/month
└─ Markup:       3,258%

CostPlusDB (Same specs)
├─ We charge:    $119/month
├─ Our cost:     ~$12/month
└─ Our margin:   90%
