SwarmCraft

Pricing

How it works

Define a workflow, review the replacement brief, unlock it for $20 USD or referral credit, and keep building owned source code in VS Code with your preferred AI.

Simple process

Chat -> Unlock -> Project -> Develop

SwarmCraft defines the replacement first. You only unlock when the brief points to owned source code you can control, inspect, and keep improving without vendor lock-in.

  1. 01

    Chat

    Name the current product and the workflow you want back under your control.

  2. 02

    Unlock

    $20 USD

    Review the workflow brief, then pay $20 USD or use referral credit when the path to owned source code is clear.

  3. 03

    Project

    Get a project board and tickets with clear boundaries, review points, and no vendor lock-in.

  4. 04

    Develop

    Use Visual Studio Code and your favorite AI to build, validate, and keep improving source code you control.

Start with the workflow you want to escape. Unlock only when the replacement path is clear enough to build and own.

Why it is a great deal

Cheaper than shelfware. Closer to the work.

The research is consistent: teams overbuy broad SaaS, underuse it, and increasingly want smaller workflow replacements instead.

Focused workflow

Pay for the workflow you actually use

Our research points to the same pattern: teams often pay for broad SaaS suites but only rely on a small repeatable workflow inside them.

Safer replacement

Replace workflow surfaces first

The better first target is the workflow layer, not the system of record. SwarmCraft is aimed at replacing intake, approvals, dashboards, and board workflows before core data systems.

35% already replaced one

The DIY shift is already happening

Retool's 2026 survey says 35% of respondents had already replaced at least one SaaS tool with a custom build, and 78% expected to build more in 2026.

$4,830 per employee

$20 is tiny next to SaaS waste

Zylo reports average SaaS spend of $4,830 per employee and $21 million in unused-license waste annually, which makes the unlock fee a cheap way to test a replacement path.

Pricing FAQ

Common pricing questions

What happens in the chat step?

The chat identifies the bloated product, the exact workflow that still matters, and the safer replacement boundary before any unlock happens.

What do I get when I unlock a project?

You get a project board, starter task set, and a clearer path to build the workflow replacement you just defined.

Why is the unlock a one-off payment instead of a subscription?

The offer is designed to help customers escape recurring software rent, not add another monthly platform bill.

Why is the price so low?

The unlock price is meant to be a low-friction way to test a workflow replacement path against the much larger cost of ongoing SaaS waste.

What happens after I unlock the project?

After unlock, the work moves from discovery into an actionable project you can review, refine, and build forward.
