Your roadmap needs more time.
Self-serve includes the option to buy up to 20 architect hours a month. Co-Build gives you 40, 80 or 160 hours for a sustained programme of work.
FOR SCALING TEAMS
Keep your team focused.
Keep your app moving.
Give your roadmap a named Joylo engineer. Co-Build adds ongoing engineering capacity inside your existing app, while you set the direction and stay in control.
40, 80 or 160 engineering hours a month.
Month-to-month. Your app and code stay yours.
When occasional help
becomes ongoing work.
You can keep building with Joylo AI for as long as it suits you. Co-Build fits when your roadmap needs dedicated engineering time and someone who knows your app from one month to the next.
The context needs to carry forward.
A named engineer stays with your app, understands the decisions already made and can plan the next changes with you.
Your team has a business to run.
Your engineer drives the agreed build. You keep visibility and access to the prompt interface, without managing each technical task.
Your part: 30 minutes,
three times a week.
three times a week.
Review progress, answer questions and set priorities. Open and test your latest app whenever you want.
More than extra hours.
Continuity from build to launch.
Co-Build combines the Joylo platform with hands-on delivery from our own engineers. You stay in the same project, with the same access and full ownership.
- 01
Decisions that fit the whole app.
Your engineer plans features, integrations and the way the app is structured. On Co-Build 160, a fractional business analyst also turns business requests into clear development tasks.
Agree the work before it begins. - 02
Reviewed before it ships.
Engineering review adds human judgement to the AI Confidence Score. The team checks the agreed changes and works through the findings before deployment.
Code reviews and architecture guidance. - 03
Support after it goes live.
Advanced Production Support is included on every Co-Build plan, with automated monitoring, security patching and engineer response during business hours.
Your chosen hosting environment.

Three ways to get
an engineer on your app.
Expert Assist, Production Support and Co-Build solve different problems. Here is what each one costs and what it actually covers.
| Option | Expert Assist | Production Support | Co-Build |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it costs | |||
| Price | $500 for 10 architect hours | $299 a month (Essential), $999 a month (Advanced) | $3,000 to $6,000 a month |
| Engineering hours | 10, bought as a block | None. Fixes are included, not metered. | 40, 80 or 160 hours a month, included |
| AI credits | Not included. Bought separately from credits. | Not included | 400, 800 or 1,600 a month |
| What you get | |||
| What it is | A certified Joylo engineer works directly in your project on a specific piece of work. | 24/7 automated monitoring of a live app, with engineers acting during business hours. | A named Joylo engineer building with you every month. |
| Best for | One issue, one feature or one launch | An app already live that your users depend on | A build that keeps going, with real users on it |
| Production Support, Advanced | Not included | This is that product | Included, normally $999 a month on its own |
| Migration of an existing app | Standard migration is free on every plan. A heavily customised move is a fixed $2,000, quoted before you commit. | Not applicable | Standard migration is free. A heavily customised move uses your included hours instead of the fixed $2,000. |
| Response and commitment | |||
| First response | Within 24 hours | Next business day (Essential), within 4 business hours (Advanced) | 4 business hours on Co-Build 40 and 80, 2 business hours on Co-Build 160 |
| Engineer availability | 9am to 5pm GMT, Monday to Friday | Monitoring runs 24/7. Engineers work 9am to 5pm GMT, Monday to Friday. | 9am to 5pm GMT, Monday to Friday |
| Commitment | A one-off block. Unused hours never expire. | Monthly | Month to month, no contract, 30-day money-back |

A launch commitment
you can hold us to.
Agree the project scope and purchase the engineering hours we recommend. We then guarantee that scope will go live. If our estimate falls short, the engineering overrun is ours.
The scope is clear. The promise is written.
The Production Guarantee defines the work, the conditions and each party’s responsibilities. New features or an expanded scope are agreed separately.
Read the Production GuaranteeOwnership stays with you.
Keep your whole application, including its React front end, Node API and Postgres database. Export it whenever you choose. Run it on Joylo Cloud, your own cloud or your own hardware.
If code a Joylo engineer wrote breaks, warranty fixes are free on any plan.
Through HST Solutions, the team behind Joylo has worked on CameraMatics’ fleet platform and Waystone’s risk-management platform. Explore our engineering background.
Before you
choose Co-Build.
How the relationship, capacity and platform fit together.
How is Co-Build different from Expert Assist?
Expert Assist is a $500 block of 10 architect hours for occasional hands-on help. A different engineer may work on a later request. Co-Build gives you a named engineer who carries the context forward, 40, 80 or 160 hours each month and Advanced Production Support included.
Can we move from self-serve without starting over?
Yes. Your engineer works in the existing app on the same Joylo platform. You keep your project, your access to the prompt interface and ownership of the code. Changing how you work does not require rebuilding the app.
Do we still get to use the AI?
Yes. Co-Build includes AI credits and continued access to the prompt interface. You can see and test your app throughout. Agree priorities with your engineer so everyone is working towards the same outcome.
What does the analyst do on Co-Build 160?
The fractional business analyst turns business requirements into development tasks, coordinates priorities and provides progress reporting. The plan includes a dedicated developer and 160 engineering hours each month.
Is support really available around the clock?
Automated monitoring runs 24/7. Engineers work 9am to 5pm GMT, Monday to Friday. Co-Build 40 and 80 include a response within 4 business hours; Co-Build 160 includes a response within 2 business hours. Response time is distinct from time to resolve an issue.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Co-Build plans are month-to-month. Your agreed scope, engineering work and any Production Guarantee are documented, and you retain ownership of the application. Read the pricing FAQs.
