Built for how software developers actually get paid

Vague scope, endless change requests
Itemised deliverables and milestones in a signed SOW mean changes are quoted, not assumed.
Starting work before the advance lands
The milestone advance is paid at signing — you begin with money in the bank.
Retainer clients who slip on payment
Development-support retainer templates plus recurring GST invoices keep monthly income steady.

How it works

1
Draft in 60 seconds
Start from a designer template or describe your brief — Bolt AI writes scope, timeline and itemised pricing you can edit.
2
Send one link
Share a private link over WhatsApp or email. Your client reads it on any device — no login, no attachments.
3
Signed & paid
They e-sign with an OTP and pay the advance over UPI/Razorpay. The money and the signed record land with you.

Questions software developers ask

Can I bill per milestone?
Yes — structure milestones in the SOW and collect the advance on signing; invoice the rest as you ship.
Is there a proper contract, not just a proposal?
Yes — development agreements and NDAs are included, with legally-recognised e-signatures and an audit trail.
