Third Relay

Flat-rate software. Delivered on the date, or 10% off every week after.

New software or the systems you already run. One flat rate, agreed before we start, and a delivery date we put money behind.

A free 30-minute session to understand your project and see if we’re a good fit. No obligation.

AI engineering agents do the work. A staff-level engineer runs the job.

Our agents write the code and work through the job in parallel. A staff-level engineer directs them, reviews every change before it reaches you and answers for the result. That is how we can set one flat rate and put money behind the date.

A typical dev team

  • Developers writing code by hand
  • Billed by the hour, however long it takes
  • Delays land on your invoice

We put money behind the date.

We agree the delivery date before we start. For every full week past it, 10% comes off the project fee, up to 50%.

Flat-rate maintenance. One monthly fee.

We keep your software running for one flat monthly fee, which covers fixes and routine updates. We agree what’s covered and how quickly we respond before we start.

New features and major changes are priced separately.
