Why your Lovable app's payments look successful but record nothing
A practical diagnosis for Lovable app broken payments where Stripe charges the customer but no order, subscription, or database record appears.
We built the app pitched on Shark Tank India
No 70%-done handoffs.
Your MVP live in 21 days.
We built the app pitched on Shark Tank India to 50,000+ users. A client raised $3M after we shipped theirs. Production MVPs from $3,999. You own the code from day one, and most founders keep us on after launch.
You talk to Prince, who writes the code. Not a salesperson.

“HyperBrain built our entire platform, web, mobile, and event system, before our Shark Tank India pitch. It now serves 50,000+ users across 20+ cities.”
HHarsh Gupta
Founder, KrutAI
“They handled our whole stack under heavy load and shipped faster than anyone I've worked with. If you need an MVP built right and fast, this is your team.”
JJoel Samuel
Lead Engineer, A2A Point
“We needed a membership system fast. HyperBrain delivered in 3 days, documented everything, and even trained our developers to maintain it.”
Pricing
Pricing you know before we build
Every engagement starts with a written scope and a fixed price for it. Here are the four ways teams work with us, starting at $499.
Broken app audit

Your Lovable, Bolt, v0 or Cursor app is live and failing. We read the real thing, not a description of it, and tell you what is salvageable.
- Written audit within 48 hours
- Payments, webhooks, auth & data traced
- Keep, repair, or rebuild recommendation
- Fixed quote for the rescue scope, agreed before we touch anything
- Yours to keep whether or not you hire us

How we work
What happens after you book a call
Something clickable on day one. A two-minute Loom every 48 hours. No recurring status meetings.
1Day 1
Click on day one
We define the user, core flow, and what to cut, then make the direction tangible immediately. You react to working software, not a status deck.
2Every 48 hours
A Loom every 48 hours
A two-minute update shows what changed, what is next, and what decision we need. We work async-first and ship while US teams sleep.
3Day 21
Launch and hand over
Bad news comes first with a plan. We deploy, test, hand over code and accounts, then include two weeks of fixes.
4Day 22 to 51
The 30 days after
Monitoring, performance work and a written technical debt assessment. You leave with a 90-day roadmap, and most founders stay on a retainer.
20+ products shipped, including the app behind a Shark Tank India pitch.
We ship. All the time.
Built to hold up
Shipping fast only counts if the product survives contact with real users. Here's what comes standard on every engagement.
A senior, founder-led team on every build
You own the code, infrastructure and accounts from day one
Clean handover: documented, readable, built for your team to take over
110 passing API tests on our latest SaaS build
Multi-model, never locked to one AI vendor
Working software in weeks, not quarters
Two weeks of fixes after handover, then a 30-day scaling programme
We stay on until it works for real users
What we do
Everything you need to ship,
under one roof
One accountable team for design, engineering, and launch: frontend, backend, payments, and the infrastructure your product runs on.
AI Automation
We wire AI into the workflows you actually use and cut the busywork eating your team's hours.
Product Engineering
We own the build from start to finish: SaaS platforms, dashboards, and internal tools.
Mobile App Development
iOS and Android apps with scalable backends, auth, payments, and notifications built in.
Agency White-Label
We build under your brand. You keep the client relationship and ship under your own name; we handle the engineering.
Backend, Cloud & Scale
APIs, databases, and queues that hold up when your traffic and team grow.
Startup MVPs
Your first version in front of real customers fast, with no throwaway code to rebuild later.
App Rescue
Lovable, Bolt, or v0 app failing in production? We trace payments, webhooks, auth, and data before fixing it.
Questions
The things founders ask before saying yes
Including the ones where the honest answer is that we are not the right team.
How long does it actually take?
A clearly scoped Production MVP goes live in 21 days. You get something clickable on day one and a two-minute Loom every 48 hours, so you are never waiting on a status call to find out where things stand. Larger scopes run longer and get a written milestone plan instead of a single sprint.
How much does it cost?
Production MVPs start at $3,999, fixed and agreed before we build. Prebuilt kits run $799 to $1,499. If you already have an app that is failing, the first audit is free. After launch, most founders continue on a Growth Retainer at $2,999 per month for 40 hours of development, weekly calls and priority support.
How is this different from hiring a freelancer?
The usual freelancer failure is not bad code, it is going quiet. Our answer is structural: a two-minute Loom every 48 hours, bad news first with a plan, and you holding the repository, infrastructure and accounts from day one rather than on final payment. If we stopped tomorrow you would still have everything, documented.
Do I own the code?
Yes, from day one. The repository, the infrastructure and every account it runs on are yours throughout, not transferred at the end. Handover includes readable code, documentation and a walkthrough so your team or your next developer can take it over without us.
What happens after launch?
Every build includes a 30-day scaling programme at no extra cost: monitoring, performance work, a written technical debt assessment in week four, and a co-created 90-day roadmap. After that you choose to continue on a retainer, take a documented handover and go independent, or run a hybrid where we own architecture and your team handles day to day.
My app is already broken. Can you help?
That is a large part of what we do. Send the live app or the repository, whichever tool built it, and we return written findings within 48 hours: what is salvageable, what needs repair, what should be rebuilt, and a fixed quote. The first audit is free and the report is yours whether or not you hire us.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
No, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. What we offer instead is a free first audit, a fixed price agreed in writing before any build starts, a re-quote before we build if scope changes, and ownership of everything from day one. If we are the wrong team, you find that out on a call at no cost rather than through a refund process.
When are you the wrong choice?
If you need SOC 2 or HIPAA certification, a 24/7 support desk with account managers, or fixed-price delivery while product discovery is still open. We hold no compliance certifications and will not claim otherwise. We say which situations send you elsewhere in more detail on our boundaries page.
