THE BUILDER ON RETAINER · MONTHLY CONTRACT

Hire a vibe coder by the month.

Not a project that ends and not a hire that needs a visa — a builder on a monthly contract. One backlog you rank, something working shipped every two weeks, and a human engineer gating every AI-written line before it touches your data. From AED 14,000 a month, month-to-month, 30 days' notice. We're not the cheapest builder in Dubai, and the page below is where we explain exactly what that premium buys.

day 15

after handover is when the first change is needed — a new field, a price rule, a broken integration. The project is closed and the builder is on someone else's job.

200–800

AED per hour is what freelance development and AI work goes for in the UAE. The meter runs, the invoice grows, and nobody owns the outcome.

visa

is where hiring in-house starts — then salary every month whether the backlog is full or empty, hardware, notice periods and a ramp-up before the first useful commit.

Software that matters is never finished. What you actually need isn't a builder for a fortnight — it's a builder on call, at a number you can plan around.

Scene by scene

How the month runs.

SC.01–05

SC.01

One backlog, you rank it

Everything lives in a single visible queue. Once a week you say what matters most; nothing gets rebuilt in secret, nothing waits for a meeting.

SC.02

Something working every two weeks

Not a status update — a screen you can open and use. The first release lands about two weeks after the line starts.

SC.03

The human gate never comes off

AI writes fast; a human engineer reviews every change for security, data handling and edge cases before it reaches your customers. This is the step the cheap retainer quietly drops.

SC.04

Built inside your accounts

Repository, hosting, model keys, integrations — all in your name, with a handover doc and a kill switch. Nothing here holds you hostage.

SC.05

Month to month, volume rolls over

Pay for the first month up front, then continue or stop with 30 days' notice. A quiet month becomes credit next month, not a write-off.

Why us

We're not the cheapest.
That's the product.

ABOVE MARKET

You can retain a builder for less than this, anywhere online. What gets removed to reach that price is always the same thing: the review. Independent security testing in 2025 found roughly 45% of AI-generated code carried known vulnerabilities, and one widely reported incident had an AI coding agent wipe a live production database. A cheaper monthly rate usually means that code goes live with nobody reading it.

Anyone can generate software by the month. The price difference is who reads it before your customers do.

What the premium buys, precisely: a fixed shipping rhythm instead of «it's nearly done», a human engineer gating anything that touches money or customer data, everything owned by you, and a contract you can end in 30 days. We run this exact arrangement on our own network — slgo.ai, our WhatsApp sales agent and our audit engine were all built this way, and that system runs our studio at AED 67.6k net per month at ~5x ROAS.

FAQ — hiring The Builder monthly

FAQ

How much does it cost to hire a vibe coder in Dubai? +

A part-time line is AED 14,000 a month — around 40 hours of directed build, one working release every two weeks and the fixes in between. A full line, with a priority queue and roughly twice the output, is AED 26,000 a month; two parallel lines are AED 45,000. Month-to-month, prices on the page, VAT excluded.

Why are you more expensive than a freelancer? +

Because the cheap version removes the part that protects you. Freelance AI and development rates in the UAE run roughly AED 200–800 an hour with the meter running and nobody accountable for what happens after handover. Here the month buys a fixed shipping rhythm, a human engineer reviewing every AI-written change before launch, and a repository that stays yours whether we work together next month or not. We're deliberately not the cheapest builder in Dubai.

What do I actually get every month? +

One ranked backlog you set the priorities on, a working release roughly every two weeks instead of a progress report, fixes and small changes inside the same line, monitoring of what's already live, and a short weekly walkthrough of what shipped. Anything that touches money or customer data passes the human gate first.

Am I locked into a long contract? +

No. The first month is paid in advance, after that it runs month-to-month with 30 days' notice. Unused volume rolls over to the next month, so a quiet month becomes credit rather than a write-off.

Who owns the code, the accounts and the hosting? +

You do, from day one — repository, servers, model keys and every connected account are in your name, with a handover doc and a kill switch. Hosting, API usage and licences are paid at cost from your own accounts, never marked up.

What if I only need one thing built? +

Then don't take a monthly contract. A fixed-scope internal tool or prototype starts at AED 9,000 and a production MVP at AED 18,000 — that's the one-off build, priced on our vibe coding page. The retainer is for businesses where software keeps changing after launch.
