Fully managed

The new agency. You're finally in control.

Agencies do the work, but you hand over the keys. DIY tools hand you the keys, but you do all the work. Managed is the first thing that is both. We do the work. You keep every decision.

The one thing that never changes

You are still the only one who clicks Merge.

Managed does not touch the gate.

Everything we do arrives as a pull request in your factory. You read it, you approve it, you merge it. The work is ours. The decision stays yours. From your desk or from your phone, it is the same green button.

Desk to pocket. Same green button.

We open it. You merge it.

How managed works

One permission. Nothing else. Yours to revoke.

Once you are set up, a small SquidBay app runs on your factory, scoped to exactly one thing: opening pull requests. It cannot merge, and it cannot touch your main branch. The single permission stays yours to revoke in one click, anytime.

  1. 01

    You send a request

    Tell us what you need, in plain words. No tickets, no dashboards.

  2. 02

    We do the work

    The seats plan, build, and check each other, the same way your own factory runs.

  3. 03

    A pull request lands

    It arrives in your factory reading like a plain letter: what changed, and why.

  4. 04

    You merge

    Nothing ships until you click. The gate stays yours, always.

What we can never do

Merge anything, touch your main branch, or hold any of your other credentials. We are a contractor with a proposal pad. Your factory is yours.

We watch the whole system for you — read-only, around the clock — and only ever hand you a change to approve.

The tiers

Start free. Hand off when you want to.

Self-service

Free

You bring your Claude plan

Run your own factory. It checks for updates daily and opens a PR when there is news, so you are never chasing it. Your seats do the work.

Support PRs, covered by your subscription

Your everyday asks come in as support pull requests, covered by your monthly subscription. You tell us what you need; we post a ready-to-merge PR into your factory for you to review and approve. Bigger, non-standard jobs go to Custom.

Custom

By assignment

Scoped and quoted per project

Bigger jobs. Real research, a new feature, something non-standard. Priced per project when you need it.

Pricing is a starting point and may adjust. The model will not: you approve every change, always.

Keep the wheel. Hand off the work.

Managed is the same factory and the same merge gate. We just do the building. From $99 setup, then $25 a month.
