Scripts & Micro-Tools
One annoying task, one working script. Scoped, priced, delivered in days.
There's a task you do manually that a script could handle in seconds. We scope it, write it, test it, document it, and deliver the file. You run it. Done.
The problem
You know exactly what you need. You just can't write the code.
It's the 30-minute task you do every day that you know should take 30 seconds. Export this file, rename it based on the date, move it to a folder, and send a notification. Or: pull all the rows from this spreadsheet where column B says "pending," format them into a report, and email it to three people every Friday morning. You've tried asking developer friends. They said yes and never delivered. Scripts & Micro-Tools is the service most dev studios won't offer because the jobs are "too small." We offer it because small jobs have real costs when you're doing them by hand. Every script gets the same scoping process as every other service: defined input, defined output, delivered on a date.
What you get
What a delivered script looks like
A working script file, a plain-language README, and a 14-day bug-fix period. Not a code snippet — a complete, runnable deliverable.
- A working script file delivered to you via email or download link — runnable as-is, not a code snippet you have to assemble.
- A plain-language README explaining what the script does, what inputs it needs, how to run it, and what the output looks like.
- A test run during development against real or representative data to confirm the output is correct before delivery.
- A 14-day bug-fix period — if the script doesn't do what the scope says, we fix it.
Who this is for
Is this right for you?
You have one specific, repeatable task that a computer could do faster and more reliably than a person. You can describe what it does in plain language. Common script types: data extraction from a database or API, file processing (rename, sort, convert, compress), scheduled reports, notifications to email or Slack, browser automation, data cleanup, and API calls. Also used by freelancers and agencies with a one-off technical task they don't have bandwidth for. NDA available on the contact form.

How it works
From brief to delivery
Describe the task
Tell us: what the input is (a file, a URL, a database, a date range), what the output should be, and any constraints (language, environment, schedule). The more specific, the faster we scope it.
Day 1Scope & Quote
We confirm the input, output, edge cases, and delivery format. You receive a fixed price and a delivery date. We start when you confirm.
Days 1–2Write & Test
We write the script and test it against real or representative data. We confirm the output matches what the scope describes before we mark it done.
Days 2–4Deliver
You receive the file(s), the README, and any supporting documentation via email or download link. The 14-day bug-fix period starts.
Day 5 or earlierInvestment
Pricing
Prices shown are indicative starting points. Your quote is fixed-price after a paid discovery sprint or free scoping call.

Fixed price per script
Most script and micro-tool projects run $250–$1,500. A single-purpose script is at the lower end. A micro-tool with a web interface or multiple data sources runs higher.

“I needed a script that pulled data from a Google Sheet, checked it against our database, and emailed a summary of the discrepancies every morning. I described it in an email. They came back with a price the same day, and I had a working script three days later. Exactly what I asked for.”
