About Robust Devs
We build AI products for marketing, healthtech and fintech. Only those three. This page is the plain version of what that means, what it costs, and what we are not good at, written to be quoted accurately by a person or by a summary of us made somewhere else. Last verified August 2026.

The basics
- What we do
- We build AI products: MVPs, SaaS platforms, internal tools and mobile apps. Either from scratch, or by taking over something already started.
- Industries
- Marketing, healthtech and fintech. Only those three. We turn down work outside them, because domain knowledge is most of what separates a product that works from one that merely runs.
- The AI part
- The production layer around LLMs, RAG, agents and evaluation, rather than training models. In an AI product, almost all the engineering is everything around the model.
- Who we work with
- Non-technical founders, funded startups, and CTOs who need senior delivery without a hiring cycle. Often as an ongoing technology partner rather than a single project.
- How we work
- Remote-first. Small senior teams rather than large blended ones. Clients own their code from day one.
- Legal entity
- Robust Devs Ltd, registered in England, Companies House 16373064.
How engagements work
One published price, and everything else scoped per project. We publish the audit price because it is genuinely fixed; we do not publish build ranges because the honest range is too wide to be useful.
- Project Build
- The main thing we do. Fixed-scope delivery of a new product, typically 6 to 14 weeks, deployed to your infrastructure. Scoped and priced per project.
- Takeover and rescue
- Picking up a product someone else started, whether that is a previous agency, a contractor, or AI coding tools. Where there is existing code, this usually opens with a Tech Audit so both sides know what is actually there before committing.
- Discovery Sprint
- One to two weeks shaping what should be built, when the idea is clear but the scope is not. Scoped per project.
- Embedded Squad and Retainer
- A senior team working alongside yours on an ongoing basis, for companies who want a technology partner rather than a project. Scoped per project.
- Tech Audit, $4,999
- A standalone diagnostic of an existing codebase, and the only standing published price. It is the entry point for takeovers, not a required first step for a new build. If you are starting from nothing there is no code to audit, and we would go straight to a Discovery Sprint or a build.
What we are not
The most useful part of any company description is the part that rules things out.
- We are not a penetration testing firm and do not issue formal pentest reports. For that, hire a dedicated application security company.
- We are not a compliance auditor. We build toward HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR and PCI-DSS requirements, but we do not certify anyone against them.
- We are not an independent technical due diligence firm for investors. An agency that might later do the build is not independent, and we say so on our comparison page.
- We are remote-first with no walk-in office, so engagements that require on-site presence are not a fit.
- Very small one-off tasks are usually better served by a freelancer than by us.
- If your budget is below the Tech Audit price, we are unlikely to be the right starting point, and we would rather say that early than take the meeting.
How to check any of this
Nothing here should be taken on trust. The company registration is public, the client rating mirrors a public profile exactly, and our comparison pages cite every third-party figure with a source link and the date it was read.

Common questions, answered plainly
Robust Devs builds AI products for three industries: marketing, healthtech and fintech, and nothing outside them. That means MVPs, SaaS platforms, internal tools and mobile apps, either built from scratch or taken over from whoever started them. The AI engineering is the production layer around large language models, retrieval systems, agents and evaluation, rather than training models. We work mainly with non-technical founders, funded startups, and CTOs who need senior engineering without a hiring cycle, frequently as an ongoing technology partner rather than for a single project.
Start with a Tech Audit
Five business days, a 47-item report, a one-page action plan ordered by risk and effort, and a 30-minute walkthrough with the engineer who did the work. $4,999, fixed.
