Tiers and Pricing
StackAlchemist uses a three-tier model. Each tier builds on the one before it. All prices are one-time payments — there are no subscriptions, seat licenses, or recurring fees.
Tier Overview
| Tier 1 — Blueprint | Tier 2 — Boilerplate | Tier 3 — Infrastructure | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $299 | $599 | $999 |
| Best For | Planning, RFPs, architecture review | Developers starting a new product | Teams ready to deploy to production |
| Compile Guarantee | — | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Source Code | — | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| Cloud IaC | — | — | ✅ Yes |
Tier 1 — Blueprint
$299 · One-time
The Blueprint tier delivers the architecture and planning artifacts for your system — without generating any code. This is useful when you need to communicate the design to stakeholders, prepare an RFP, or validate the approach before committing to implementation.
What's included
- Entity-Relationship Schema (JSON) — The normalized data model derived from your description
- OpenAPI 3.0 Specification — Full API surface in machine-readable format, importable into Postman, Insomnia, or any API tooling
- SQL Migration Scripts — PostgreSQL DDL to create all tables, indexes, foreign keys, and constraints
- Data Flow Diagram — Visual representation of how data moves through the system
- Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) — Documented reasoning behind key technical choices
Who it's for
- Technical leads validating a design before handing off to engineering
- Developers who want to scaffold manually but need the model done first
- Agencies preparing proposals or SOWs for clients
- Solo developers who want to think through the schema before writing code
Tier 2 — Boilerplate
$599 · One-time
The Boilerplate tier delivers a complete, compilable source repository. This is the core product — a real codebase shaped exactly around your schema, with the Compile Guarantee ensuring it builds before delivery.
What's included
Everything in Blueprint, plus:
- .NET 10 Web API — Controllers, repositories, models, and service layer with Dapper ORM and PostgreSQL. Clean architecture with proper project separation.
- Next.js 15 Frontend — App Router, TypeScript strict mode, Tailwind CSS, and a type-safe API client generated from your schema. Authentication UI wired up.
- PostgreSQL Schema + Migrations — Ready to run via Docker or against any Postgres instance
- Supabase Auth Integration — Row Level Security policies scaffolded for your entities. Auth flows wired into the frontend (sign up, sign in, session management).
- Docker Compose Dev Environment — One command spins up the database, API, and frontend together
- Compile Guarantee — The 3-retry auto-correction loop. If the code doesn't compile, it doesn't ship. If it still fails after 3 retries, you get a full refund.
Who it's for
- Developers starting a new product who want to skip the scaffolding sprint
- CTOs who need a production-quality starting point without spending 2–4 weeks on setup
- Agencies delivering initial builds to clients on tight timelines
- Entrepreneurs who want to start building features on day one
Tier 3 — Infrastructure
$999 · One-time
The Infrastructure tier is everything in Boilerplate plus a complete cloud deployment package. A junior engineer could take this handoff and deploy it to production without needing a senior to architect the cloud setup.
What's included
Everything in Boilerplate, plus:
- AWS CDK Stack (TypeScript) — Lambda functions, RDS Aurora (PostgreSQL-compatible), S3, CloudFront distribution, IAM roles and policies — all as code.
- Helm Charts — Kubernetes deployment manifests for teams running container orchestration.
- GitHub Actions CI/CD Pipeline — Test, build, and deploy workflow that runs on every push to
main. - Deployment Runbook — Step-by-step instructions: account setup, secrets configuration, first deploy, monitoring setup, rollback procedure.
- Environment Configuration Guide — Every environment variable documented, with instructions for dev, staging, and production environments.
- Cost Estimation Report — AWS cost projections at 1k, 10k, and 100k monthly active users.
Who it's for
- Teams who want to go straight from generated code to production
- Organizations with no dedicated DevOps that still need a cloud-ready setup
- Technical founders who want the cloud infrastructure done right from the start
- Agencies handing off a complete project to a client
The Compile Guarantee
For Tier 2 and Tier 3, every generated package goes through the following before delivery:
- Generated code is written to a temporary container
dotnet buildis executed against the API projectnpm run buildis executed against the frontend- If either build fails, the LLM receives the error output and regenerates the failing files
- Steps 2–4 repeat up to 3 times
- If the build is still failing after 3 attempts: full refund, no questions asked
This is a hard technical guarantee — not a marketing claim. Code that doesn't compile doesn't get delivered.
Pricing FAQ
Is this a subscription?
No. Every tier is a one-time payment. You pay once per generated project. You keep the output forever.
What if I need to make changes after download?
The generated code is standard .NET and Next.js. You own it completely. Modify it, extend it, refactor it — it's your codebase.
Can I use the generated code commercially?
Yes. The generated output has no licensing restrictions. Build your product, sell it, scale it.
What if the Compile Guarantee fails?
If the generated code doesn't compile after 3 auto-correction attempts, you receive a full refund automatically. No dispute process required.
Are there bulk or agency discounts?
