A Visnoa product development retainer gives you a fixed monthly allocation of development capacity for new features, fixes, integrations and improvements. Plans start from $3,000/month and define the number of active tasks, turnaround times and review cycles in writing, so you get predictable progress without hiring an in-house team.
Why a retainer instead of one-off projects?
After launch, products need a steady stream of small improvements based on what users do. Scoping and contracting each change as a separate project is slow and expensive for both sides. A retainer keeps a team that already knows your product ready to work on your priorities every week.
Retainer plans
| Plan | Starting from | Active tasks | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $3,000/month | One development queue | Small enhancements, fixes and updates |
| Growth | $5,000/month | Up to two parallel tasks | Regular feature development and integrations |
| Priority | $7,500/month | Agreed per client | Higher throughput, priority response, complex work |
All plans include a monthly planning call, a shared task board, weekly progress updates and code review on every change.
How it works
- Onboarding. For products we did not build, a short review of the codebase and deployment (included in the first month).
- Monthly planning. We agree priorities for the month together.
- Weekly delivery. Tasks move through design, build, review and release, with updates every week.
- Monthly report. What shipped, what is next, and anything you should know about performance, costs or risks.
What we do not offer
We do not offer “unlimited” development. Unlimited plans encourage rushed work and unclear priorities. Instead, each plan states its capacity and turnaround clearly, and you can move between plans month to month.
Who retainers are for
- Startups that launched an MVP and are iterating towards product–market fit;
- businesses with internal tools that keep growing in scope;
- agencies that need dependable development capacity for several client accounts.
Retainer FAQs
Is there a minimum commitment?
We recommend three months to build momentum, but plans are monthly with 30 days’ notice to cancel.
What happens to unused capacity?
Capacity is planned monthly and does not roll over indefinitely; we will flag early if work is not coming through so you can adjust your plan.
Can you take over a product another team built?
Yes. The onboarding review in the first month helps us understand the codebase and flag any urgent risks.
