Daotomata core platform

I was paying €120/h to a Toptal freelance and €15k to an agency for landing pages. Every new feature was 4 weeks of greenfield. Daotomata gave me booking + Stripe + tracking in 2 sprints because they already had it built.

WHAT IS BROKEN

Greenfield is not speed. It is sunk cost.

  1. 01You pay €80-150/h to rebuild auth, billing and multi-tenancy from scratch
  2. 02Every new feature means a sprint of glue code that already exists in another project
  3. 03Greenfield agencies charge €50-100k for what an own stack solves in days
  4. 04Toptal puts you a freelance only — you decide architecture without sparring
PRODUCTION-TESTED STACK

What is already built. You do not pay for it twice.

47 blocks + 20+ integrations + factory patterns. Own stack we reuse on every project.

REAL RESULTS

What founders who left Toptal say after building on own stack.

Three SaaS founders who moved from greenfield to a production-tested stack.

“We went from 4 weeks per feature with a freelance to shipping 3 features per sprint. The reusable stack saved us 6 months of greenfield. Clear ROI by month 2.”

“Justifying €120/h from Toptal got hard when we had to rewrite auth and billing on each project. Daotomata gave us booking + Stripe in 2 sprints because it was already done.”

“Founders-led with Daniel makes the difference. Demos every Friday with the person writing code. Zero PM layers and much less overhead than with a greenfield agency.”

Everything you would want to ask before discovery.

Real objections we hear from SaaS founders. Direct answers, no jargon.

What stack does Daotomata use internally?
Astro 5 + Svelte 5 + React 19 + TypeScript + Hono + Mastra (AI agents). Postgres via Directus headless CMS. Tailwind v4. Coolify deploy. All production-tested in live client sites.
What deliverables to expect?
Clean GitHub repo, CI/CD (GitHub Actions), tests (Vitest + Playwright), docs, hosting setup (Coolify) + DNS + SSL. 100% your property, keys from day 1. No lock-in.
Hourly or project-based?
Both. For discoveries <2 weeks: hourly €80-120/h. For builds >1 month: project-based fixed-price with milestones (from €15k) + post-launch retainer from €1,500/month. Combinable.
What do you NOT do?
Mobile native (iOS/Android), enterprise Salesforce/SAP integrations, AI training/finetuning. Yes: web apps, marketplaces, B2B/B2C SaaS, internal tools, API integrations. If your project is outside, we tell you in discovery.
How does it compare to Toptal?
Toptal puts you a senior freelance; you manage architecture + decisions. Daotomata puts you a founders-led team with a production-tested own stack (47 blocks + 20+ integrations). We accelerate 5-10× your first 3 months because we do not rewrite auth, billing, multi-tenancy, tracking or i18n.
Post-launch support?
Monthly retainer €1,500-3,500/month depending on scope (maintenance + minor features + on-call). No annual contract, cancellable with 30 days notice. Configurable SLAs: response time, uptime, deploy windows.
What does sprint 0 include?
Discovery + audit (if you have a current stack) + repo setup + architecture + documented closed scope. €1,500 fixed, discounted from project if you sign. If you do not sign, you keep the repo + scope document.
Can I bring my own dev to the team?
Yes. If you have an in-house dev, we integrate workflow: cross PRs, code review, pair programming on architecture. We reduce hourly or project fee proportionally. Founders-led does not mean exclusive.
Is the code mine?
100% yes. Repo in your GitHub organization from day 1. No lock-in with Daotomata: if you want to move the project to another dev shop, you do it without paying anything. We build the base stack on your repo, not on ours.
What if I need a PMS or payment gateway you do not have?
We add it to the factory pattern. If it is a popular one (CloudBeds, Smoobu, Stripe, CMI — already done). If it is niche, we quote an extra sprint for the adapter. The factory is set up, you only add the adapter.
Do you maintain legacy projects?
Yes, via retainer. We audit first (sprint 0) to understand technical debt and vulnerabilities. Then monthly retainer with SLAs. If debt is high, we can propose incremental migration to the Daotomata stack.
How long does a typical MVP take?
Simple MVP (landing + auth + 2-3 features + Stripe): 4-6 weeks. Medium MVP (multi-tenant B2B SaaS with admin + i18n): 6-10 weeks. Complex MVP (marketplace with multi-PMS or multi-payment): 10-16 weeks. Estimated in discovery.
Do you work with pre-seed startups?
Yes, if they have runway for 8-16 weeks of build. We do not work for equity. Special early-stage pricing: 15% discount for pre-seed with short runway. Still no annual contract.
LAST CALL

Stop paying €100k to a greenfield agency. Start shipping.

30 minutes with you. We audit your current stack (if any) + map critical features + estimate sprint 0 and project. No commitment.
