Vibe code rescue

Vibe code rescue: we make your AI-built app production ready

Your Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or Replit app works in the demo and breaks with real users. We audit it, fix what nobody prompted for and hand it back with tests and monitoring: audit from $400, a full production pass $1,000-3,500 in 1-2 weeks.

Signs your vibe-coded app is not production ready

One user can open another user’s data by changing an ID in the URL.
API keys for OpenAI, Stripe or your mail provider sit in the frontend code.
Checkout works, but declines, refunds and cancelled subscriptions are not handled.
The same logic is written five times in five places and the copies disagree.
There are no tests and no error monitoring, so the first bug report comes from a customer.
Recognise two or more?
Start with the audit: $400-800, 2-3 days, and you get a prioritised fix list you can take to any team.

The full production-readiness checklist

What we fix, what it costs, how long it takes

Scope	DForce	Standard development	What it includes
Audit	$400-800, 2-3 days	$1,200-2,400, 6-9 days	Security and code review, the checklist with evidence, a rescue-or-rebuild recommendation, a prioritised fix list
Production pass	$1,000-3,500, 1-2 weeks	$3,000-10,500, 3-6 weeks	Authorization, secrets, payment unhappy paths, validation, error reporting, tests on the core flow, backups, monitoring, a clean deploy pipeline
Migration off the platform	$4,000-8,000, 2-4 weeks	$12,000-24,000, 6-12 weeks	Moving the app to a stack you own, keeping the working 80%, restructuring the rest, the full production pass on top

3 times cheaper and 3 times faster than standard hand-written development: AI regenerates the code, senior engineers direct and review every change.

Rescue or rebuild?

Rescue when

The app has real users
The core flow works
The data model is roughly right

The 80% the AI built is worth keeping, and a production pass is cheaper than a rewrite.

Rebuild when

The app cannot be exported from its platform in a form you can run yourself
The data model is wrong for the product it has become
The code has no structure left to fix

The audit answers this with evidence before you commit to either.

How a rescue runs

Audit

Two to three days: we read the code, test the rules that matter and give you a written list of what breaks and in what order to fix it.

Fix plan

We agree the scope and the price for the production pass, or recommend a migration if the platform is the problem.

Production pass

Fixes in priority order, each one reviewed by a senior engineer and covered by a test so it stays fixed.

Handover

Monitoring and error reporting switched on, a clean deploy pipeline, and a written account of what changed and why.

Frequently asked

How much does a vibe code rescue cost?

An audit costs $400 to $800. A full production pass that fixes authorization, secrets, payments, error handling, tests and monitoring costs $1,000 to $3,500. Moving the app off a no-code platform onto a stack you own costs $4,000 to $8,000. Standard hand-written development quotes 3 times these figures for the same scope: $1,200 to $2,400, $3,000 to $10,500 and $12,000 to $24,000.

How long does it take to make a vibe-coded app production ready?

The audit takes 2 to 3 days, the production pass 1 to 2 weeks, and a migration off the platform 2 to 4 weeks. Standard hand-written development needs 3 times longer for the same work, because it rewrites by hand what an AI pipeline regenerates under senior review.

Which AI app builders do you work with?

Apps built with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Replit or Claude Code. If the platform exports code you can run yourself, we fix it in place. If it does not, the audit says so and we plan a migration to a stack you own.

What do I get from the audit?

A security and code review, the production-readiness checklist filled in with evidence from your app, a recommendation to rescue or rebuild, and a prioritised list of fixes with the price of the production pass. You can take that list to any team.
