Software for the wayyour business runs.
Custom web app development for Canadian businesses. From MVPs that validate an idea, to internal tools that replace spreadsheets, to multi-tenant SaaS builds. Built on Next.js, TypeScript, and Supabase. You own the code, the database, and every account.
Validate. Streamline.
Scale.
Three tiers cover the three reasons most Canadian SMBs build custom software: testing an idea, replacing internal chaos, or launching a product.
MVP App
Validate an idea fast. Single-purpose tool: one workflow, 3–5 screens, one integration. Real product, not a prototype.
- 1 core workflow, end-to-end
- 3–5 screens
- 1 third-party integration
- Supabase auth + database
- Vercel deployment
- Source code in your GitHub
Internal Business Tool
Replace spreadsheets and manual processes. CRM-lite, scheduling, inventory tracking, internal dashboards — built for one company.
- 5–10 screens with full workflows
- User auth + role-based permissions
- 2–3 third-party integrations
- Custom reporting + dashboards
- Notification system (email + SMS)
- Admin panel + data exports
Custom SaaS Build
Launch a commercial product. Multi-tenant architecture with Stripe billing, admin panel, customer-facing dashboards, full schema.
- Multi-tenant architecture (RLS isolation)
- Stripe Subscriptions or Stripe Connect
- Admin panel + customer dashboards
- Email + SMS notification system
- API + webhook infrastructure
- Canadian-hosted infrastructure available

Modern, exportable,
no lock-in.
Every tool is industry-standard. If you ever need to migrate or hire another team, the code is yours and the stack is widely understood.
Next.js 15
Frontend framework. App Router, Server Components, fast by default.
TypeScript
Type safety across the codebase. Catches bugs at compile time, not in production.
Tailwind CSS
Utility-first styling. Faster iteration than CSS-in-JS or BEM.
Supabase
Postgres database, auth, storage, and Row Level Security for multi-tenancy.
Vercel
Hosting + preview deployments. Per-branch URLs for stakeholder review.
Stripe / Connect
Subscriptions, one-time charges, marketplace flows. Canadian + US support.
Claude API
AI features — drafting, classification, summarization — when they add real value.
Resend / Twilio
Email and SMS for notifications, auth, and lifecycle messaging.
GitHub
Version control + CI. Code lives in your organization, not ours.
Five phases,
no surprises.
Scope
Discovery call + written brief. Locks features, integrations, and timeline. Produces a fixed quote.
Design
Wireframes for every screen, reviewed in Figma. Schema design for the database.
Build
Weekly demos on a live preview URL. Code lands in your GitHub from day one.
Test
User acceptance testing, integration testing, security checks. Fix-list resolved before launch.
Launch
Deploy, hand over admin keys, 60-minute training session. Optional ongoing App Care.
Build questions, answered.
Ten questions we hear most about custom web app development for Canadian businesses.
How much does a custom web app cost in Canada?
Custom web app development in Canada typically ranges from $3,000 to $100,000+ CAD depending on scope. MVP-stage single-purpose tools fall in the $3,000–$8,000 range, internal business tools and CRM-style apps run $7,000–$25,000, and multi-tenant SaaS builds with billing start at $15,000 and scale to six figures. VibeCode Canada's tiers: MVP App from $2,997, Internal Business Tool from $6,997, Custom SaaS Build from $14,997 CAD.
What's the difference between an MVP, internal tool, and full SaaS?
An MVP App is a single-purpose tool — one workflow, 3–5 screens, one integration. Built to validate an idea quickly. An Internal Business Tool replaces spreadsheets and manual processes — CRM-lite, scheduling, inventory, with 5–10 screens, auth, and 2–3 integrations. A Custom SaaS Build is a multi-tenant product with Stripe billing, admin panel, customer-facing dashboards, and the full database schema. Choose based on whether you're validating, replacing internal ops, or building a commercial product.
What technology stack does VibeCode Canada use?
VibeCode Canada builds on Next.js 15, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS for the frontend; Supabase for database, auth, and storage; Vercel for hosting; and Stripe (or Stripe Connect for marketplaces) for payments. AI features use the Claude API. Notifications run through Resend (email) and Twilio (SMS). This stack is industry-standard, fully exportable, and chosen for fast iteration with strong production reliability.
How long does a custom web app take to build?
MVP Apps take 3–4 weeks. Internal Business Tools take 6–10 weeks depending on integration complexity. Custom SaaS Builds run 12–20 weeks for a launchable v1. All timelines assume timely content and decision-making from the client side; faster timelines are possible with a deposit on dedicated weekly capacity.
Do I own the code and database when the app is built?
Yes. Full code ownership transfers on final delivery and payment. Code lives in your GitHub organization, the database lives in your Supabase project, and hosting runs on your Vercel account. VibeCode Canada has no proprietary platform or licensing fees — you can take the app to any team to maintain or extend.
Will VibeCode Canada host and maintain my app after launch?
Optionally, yes. Monthly App Care retainers cover hosting management, security updates, monitoring, bug fixes, and small feature additions. Pricing is scope-dependent and quoted on a discovery call. Clients who want to take the app in-house after launch can do so — full documentation and a 60-minute handoff session are included.
Can VibeCode Canada build apps for specific industries like trades or health?
Yes. VibeCode Canada has a specific focus on Canadian trades and home services (a productized template called Jobline is in development) and health/wellness verticals. For these industries, vertical-specific data models, regulatory considerations (e.g., PHIPA for Ontario health businesses), and integrations with industry-standard tools are baked in from the start.
Does VibeCode Canada build mobile apps?
VibeCode Canada builds web-first apps that are fully responsive and installable as Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) on iOS and Android. Native iOS/Android development is not currently offered — the recommendation for most SMBs is a PWA, which covers 90% of mobile-app use cases at a fraction of the cost.
How does pricing work — fixed or hourly?
Custom web app pricing is fixed-quote, scoped from a written brief after the discovery call. There are no hourly rates that compound. The 'from' prices on this page reflect the minimum viable scope at each tier; the discovery call produces a fixed quote based on your specific requirements. Payment is typically 50% deposit, 50% on launch.
Does VibeCode Canada serve businesses outside Ontario?
Yes. Custom web app development is delivered remotely to businesses across all 10 Canadian provinces and 3 territories. All work is done in CAD with Canadian-hosted infrastructure available on request (Supabase has Canadian regions). PHIPA, PIPEDA, and other Canadian privacy regulations are considered from the project's start.
