Stop Renting Software. Invest in a System You Own
SaaS companies charge you every month forever—and charge you more every time your team grows. Studio Sozo builds custom software on fixed, milestone-backed scopes where you own 100% of the code and pay $0 in per-seat licensing fees.
Clear scope. Fixed milestones. 100% ownership.

Common questions on investment
How are payments structured during a build?
We never ask for 100% upfront. Projects are structured around clear, verifiable milestones—typically 30% at kickoff, 40% at interactive staging approval, and 30% upon production launch and handover.
What are our ongoing costs after the software launches?
Because you own the software, there are zero licensing or per-user fees paid to Studio Sozo. Your only required ongoing cost is your direct cloud hosting and third-party usage (e.g., Vercel, Supabase/Postgres, Twilio, or OpenAI APIs), which typically runs $40–$150/month for most businesses.
Do you offer ongoing support and feature development after launch?
Yes. Every build includes a post-launch stabilization window at no extra charge. After that, you can either run the system independently, request on-demand enhancements, or partner with us on a monthly engineering retainer to continuously ship phase-2 capabilities.
