The Buyout Path
Not sure if you need the source code right away? Start with managed hosting and buy the code later. Try the app risk-free before you commit.
Pay $499 for the first year. We deploy and maintain everything.
Your team uses the app in production. No technical overhead on your side.
After year 1, purchase the full codebase for $2,200 (save $300 vs upfront).
Deploy on your own infrastructure. $0/month from here on out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about pricing, delivery, and ownership.
What exactly do I get?
A complete, production-ready web application built from your Excel spreadsheet. You receive the full source code in a private GitHub repository — database schema, authentication, admin dashboard, CRUD operations, API endpoints, deployment configs, and documentation. It's a real application, not a template. Early bird pricing is $1,999 for the first 10 customers (regular price: $2,500).
How is this different from no-code tools?
No-code platforms rent you access to their system. If the price goes up or the platform shuts down, you're stuck. With SheetForge, you own the source code outright. It runs on standard infrastructure (Next.js, PostgreSQL, Docker) that any developer can work with. No proprietary lock-in, no monthly fees, no limits.
Do I need a developer to use this?
For the Source Code option, yes — you'll need someone technical to deploy and maintain the app. For the Managed Hosting option, no — we handle everything. You can start with managed hosting and buy the source code later when you're ready.
What if I need changes after delivery?
You get 2 rounds of revisions included before final delivery, plus 1 week of post-delivery support for bug fixes and questions. After that, any developer familiar with Next.js and React can modify the code — it's standard, well-documented open-source technology.
Can I see a preview before paying?
Yes. Upload your Excel file for free and we'll generate a preview of your app's schema and dashboard structure. You only pay if you want us to build the full application.
What's the buyout option for managed hosting?
If you start with managed hosting ($499/year), after 1 year you can purchase the full source code for $2,200 instead of the regular $2,500. This lets you try the app risk-free for a full year before committing to self-hosting.
How long does delivery take?
7-10 business days from payment. Complex spreadsheets with many sheets or unusual structures may take a few extra days. We'll keep you updated throughout the process.
What's your refund policy?
You can request a full refund at any point before the source code is delivered to your GitHub repository. Once the code is transferred and you have access, the sale is final — since we can't take the code back. The free preview and 2 revision rounds are designed to make sure you're happy before delivery.
