🤔 Still Deciding? Here's Why SaaS Teams Choose Rails Fever
Choosing a long-term maintenance partner is a big decision — especially when your app is core to your business. Here's what sets Rails Fever apart:
Transparent Pricing That Reflects Your App's Complexity
Most dev agencies don't publish pricing — and when they do, it's vague or hourly.
At Rails Fever, our pricing is clear and based on objective criteria like:
- Lines of code (LOC)
- Deployment complexity
- Support expectations
You'll know exactly what you're paying and why. No surprises. No bloated retainers. Just predictable, business-aligned pricing.
Not Just Maintenance — Actual Support
We're not just running bundle update and sending you a report.
We provide:
- Real-world support when something goes wrong
- Bug fixes and code improvements
- Emergency response coverage with weekend SLA add-ons
Our incentive is the same as yours: fewer incidents. So we naturally invest in hardening your app, fixing brittle areas, and proactively monitoring risk.
We don't just maintain your Rails app — we make it stronger over time.
Senior Engineering, No Junior Hand-Offs
Rails Fever is led by a senior engineer with over 25 years of experience. You won't get passed to a junior dev after the sale. We handle:
- Legacy systems with care
- Upgrade paths with real-world constraints
- Infrastructure across Heroku, AWS, and custom stacks
We specialize in Rails. We live and breathe it. You won't have to explain what's behind that 500 error — we already have your logs and alerts set up before you even email us.
Designed for Teams Without In-House Devs
If you're a SaaS company without a dedicated development team, Rails Fever is built for you.
We don't just patch code — we act like your fractional rails team, giving you:
- Technical stability
- Strategic input
- Developer-level confidence without full-time dev overhead
We Grow with You
Whether your app is small and stable or legacy and complex, we've structured our tiers to match where you are now — and where you're going.
Start with the right plan, and scale up when your app (or your risk) does.
🤷 Not Sure Which Plan Is Right for You?
No problem — we've built a quick Plan Matcher to help you figure it out.
Just answer a few questions about your app, and get a personalized recommendation in under 2 minutes.
