JMAC Web vs Traditional Agencies
Agencies quote $25K+ minimums, negotiate a Statement of Work for weeks, and bill change orders when the scope moves. We build your Azure AI agents, cloud apps, and payment platforms for a flat monthly fee — build starts within 48 hours, cancel any month.
No trial, but cancel anytime — no lock-in contracts.
Side by side
Productized delivery vs SOW-based projects
| What you're deciding | JMAC Web | Traditional agency |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat monthly subscription, published on /pricing | Per-project SOW, quoted after discovery |
| Minimum commitment | One month — cancel anytime | $25K+ project minimum, typically 50% up front |
| Time to first commit | Within 48 hours of kickoff | 2–6 weeks of scoping and contracting |
| Scope changes | Re-prioritize the backlog — no paperwork | Change order, re-estimate, re-sign |
| After launch | Hosting, maintenance, security updates, and support included | Hand-off, then a separate retainer or hourly rate |
| Who you talk to | The founder and the engineers building it | Account manager, then a rotating delivery team |
| Stack | Azure, .NET 10, Blazor, AI Foundry, Power BI, Stripe — the stack we run our own platform on | Whatever the bench has available |
| Trial | None — Base starts at $9.97 for the first month; dedicated plans cancel any month | None — deposits are usually non-refundable |
Agency figures reflect the $25K–$60K project ranges and 6+ month hiring timelines our buyers report to us; individual agencies vary.

Why JMAC Web
Why not just hire an agency?
48 hours, not 6 weeks
No SOW to negotiate. Subscribe, book the kickoff, and the first commits land within two days.
Less than one engineer's salary
Launch is $2,497/mo — under a single Azure engineer's cost, with no recruiting delay and no $25K minimum.
Scope moves with you
Priorities change monthly, not per contract. Swap the next feature in without a change order.
We keep it running
Hosting, patches, security updates, and AI model upgrades are in the plan — no hand-off to your on-call.
When an agency is the better fit: a fixed, fully specified scope with a hard budget cap and no need for anyone after launch. We'll tell you if that's you.
