Big software needs a whole team. We are that team.

Coral9 builds web platforms, mobile apps and internal systems for growing companies. You get a complete engineering team, with a tech lead, engineers, a designer and QA, working on your project from the first week. Not a freelancer, and not one developer on loan.

Most agencies lend you a developer. We take on the whole project.

When a project needs a backend, a mobile app, an admin panel and someone testing all of it, one freelancer is not enough, and hiring a team takes most of a year. We assign a team that already works together, with a lead who runs it.

Pick the size of the team. Change it any month.

Every team has the same kind of people and works to the same standard. The size only decides how many parts of your roadmap move at the same time.

Your team

Starter

55 hours a month$2,200 a month

One priority at a time.

A tech lead and an engineer build it, with design and QA hours from the same team. Your top priority gets built and shipped, then the next one starts.

Right for: A first product, an MVP, or one focused rebuild.

Your team

Growth

110 hours a month$4,400 a month

Twice the hours, two priorities moving.

A tech lead, two engineers, a product designer and QA, with enough hours to move the web platform and the mobile app side by side.

Right for: A backlog that grows faster than one team can clear it.

Web, mobile and the back office. What our teams build.

Usually more than one of these at once. That is why the work needs a team and not a single developer.

  • Web platforms

    Customer portals, marketplaces and platforms with separate views for every kind of user.

  • iOS and Android apps

    Mobile apps for your customers, your staff and your field teams.

  • Internal tools

    Admin panels, dashboards and the back-office screens your operations team works in all day.

  • Integrations and migrations

    Connecting to the systems you already run, and moving you off the ones you have outgrown.

  • AI and automation

    Taking the repetitive work off your team: documents, follow-ups, routing and alerts.

  • Maintenance after launch

    Fixes, monitoring and new features once it is live, from the same team that built it.

We build for any industry. Four industries we know well.

These are examples, not limits. In each one we have shipped working software and know how the day actually runs, so the first call starts further along.

Reef · the client portal

Most agencies go quiet between updates. In Reef, you see what we see.

You get a login on day one. The board, the briefings and the updates are the same screens our team works from, updated as we work rather than written up afterwards.

Sign in to Reef
Reef · Home
The Reef client dashboard: tasks shipped, work in progress, hours this week, a daily activity grid and a weekly hours chart

A real client dashboard: what shipped, what is in progress and the hours logged this week.

  • Task board

    Every task, its status, and who is holding it. The board our team works from, not a summary written for you afterwards.

  • Twice-daily briefings

    A PDF of the whole board at 8am and 10pm, your time. Start the day knowing what we hold, end it knowing what moved.

  • Video updates

    A recorded walkthrough of what shipped, sent when it ships. Watch it at 2am. There is no standing call.

  • Invoices and payments

    Every invoice in one place with a card payment link. Nothing chased, nothing paid twice.

  • Secrets vault

    Your API keys and credentials, encrypted, with a log of who opened what and when.

What clients say.
