Free quote review

Got a software quote? Get a second opinion.

Send me any quote, proposal or statement of work for custom software. Within 48 hours I'll tell you in plain English what you're paying for, where the risk is, and what it should really take. It's free, it's yours to keep, and you don't have to hire me.

What you get back

A one-page review, written by the person who'd build it.

Not an automated score. I read the whole thing and write back the way I'd explain it to a friend about to sign.

  1. 01
    What you're actually buyingThe deliverables in plain words, and anything important that's missing.
  2. 02
    Where the cost can growHourly lines, change-order terms, "estimates," and phases that push work later.
  3. 03
    Who owns whatSource code, accounts, licenses, and how hard it would be to leave.
  4. 04
    Timeline reality checkWhether the dates hold up, and what "done" means in the contract.
  5. 05
    Questions to ask before you signSpecific things to push back on, whoever you hire.
Would rather skip the quote entirely?

I build any custom software for $25K in 30 days, and you own the code. Answer about 10 questions and get a free written scope.

Got it, thank you. I'll read it personally and send your review to your email within 48 hours.

Feel free to black out names and prices you'd rather not share.

Your quote is read only by me and never shared. No sales sequence: you get your review, and I'll ask once if you'd like to talk.

Questions

Fair questions.

Why would you do this for free?

Because a lot of people sign software contracts they don't fully understand, and it costs them. Helping someone read a quote clearly takes me an hour, and it can save them months and real money. If you later want a fixed-price build, great. If not, you still leave better informed.

Will you just tell me to hire you instead?

No. The review is about your quote, not my offer. If the quote is fair, I'll say so. You'll find one line at the end about my $25K, 30-day builds, and that's it.

What kinds of quotes can you review?

Anything for custom software: web apps, portals, internal tools, integrations, mobile apps, Shopify and AWS work, AI workflows, retainers and hourly contractor estimates.

Who reviews it?

I do: Chaim Tesser, AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Certified Secure Software Engineer, formerly a backend engineer at Capital One. One person reads every quote.
