maniaque

Be as maniaque* as you want.

Maniaque is French for fussy: someone who cares about every last detail. And yes, there's AI in it.

Custom software for your business that grows as fast as your ideas. The detail that bugs you or the feature that changes everything: you ask, we deliver, and you can always ask for more. For €490 excl. VAT per month.

An endless list. From small bugs to big projects.

Add as many requests as you like, whenever you like, however suits you: a WhatsApp message, an email, or straight from your dashboard. Every request falls into one of three categories:

Bug
Something doesn't work as expected. Fixed within 2 business hours.
Tweak
A detail to change in what already exists: a label, a field, a layout. Done within 2 business hours.
Feature
Something new. Timing depends on its size, because it's fully tested before going live. You know the date in advance.

You follow everything in real time: what's delivered, what's in progress, and when the next thing lands.

How we get started

  1. Free audit

    45 minutes

    We talk about your business and what's wasting your time. You then get one clear page: the problem, what the first version would do, the total monthly cost, and our honest opinion on whether it's worth it.

  2. First version

    About 3 weeks

    We build the tool on the scope written down at the audit. You use it for real, with your teams and your data.

  3. Subscription

    €490 excl. VAT per month

    Your tool evolves with you. New features, fixes, details: everything goes through your request list, with no quote each time.

Two plans. No hidden fees.

Pay for the first version, or commit for longer and get it free. The subscription is the same.

Prices exclude VAT. The first version is paid half on order, half on go-live. The subscription is charged by direct debit at the start of each month.

Free first version: if you stop before 12 months, the first version becomes payable pro rata for the remaining months.

AI writes the code. We keep our word.

There's AI in maniaque (in French, AI is “IA”). It writes the code, fast. What's still rare is someone who answers, keeps you posted and delivers on the date they gave you. That's what you're paying for.

  • One point of contact. The person who answers you is the person building your tool.
  • A reply within 24 business hours. To every message, even if it's just to give you a date the next day.
  • Bugs and tweaks within 2 hours. Something's broken or a detail needs changing: it's done within 2 business hours.
  • New features based on their size. Each one is fully tested before going live. You know the date in advance, and big projects are split into steps.
  • A monthly check-in. A written report, sent within the three days before a 30-minute call to set priorities.

Our guarantee

If we miss a date we gave you, the next month is half price.

Who you'll be talking to

Portrait of Jean-Samuel Jéquier, founder of Maniaque

I'm Jean-Samuel Jéquier. For 6 years I've been building applications for entrepreneurs and large companies alike: about a hundred in total, in tourism, non-profits, retail, healthcare, fintech, accounting and many other industries.

I founded Maniaque because AI finally makes this level of custom software affordable for every business, not just the biggest ones. What doesn't change: someone who listens, answers and meets their deadlines.

Two ways to build your tool

Same price, same follow-up. We keep a regular watch on tools and AI models, so at the audit we can offer you the best-performing, most reliable combination available.

Custom code

Best for
You want a tool with no technical limits, and nothing extra to pay to keep it running.
Hosting
With us, in Europe, backed up daily and included up to €50 excl. VAT of costs per month. Or on your own servers if you prefer.
Ownership
Your data is yours from day one. The code is handed over to you at the end of the minimum term, or from the start if it's hosted on your side.
Bubble logo

Bubble

Best for
You want to be able to edit the tool yourself with a visual programming tool, or you already use Bubble.
Hosting
On our account while we build it, then on your own Bubble account. The Bubble subscription is then yours to pay, and we tell you the amount at the audit.
Ownership
Everything is yours as soon as the first version is delivered. So you don't pay any Bubble hosting while we're building it.

Pay-per-use services (text messages, high-volume emails, artificial intelligence) are passed on at cost, with no markup.

Fast, but never careless

Your tool runs your business. We treat it that way.

Tested before delivery

Every feature goes through automated tests, then a manual check. It only reaches you once it's been validated.

Secure

Protected sign-in, role-based access, data encrypted in transit and backed up daily. Security updates are applied as they come out, and your tool goes through a full security test every month.

Ready to grow

From 5 to several thousand users, your tool is built on a foundation that keeps up with your growth, with no rebuild the day you change scale.

Confidential

Your data and the way you work stay yours. We'll sign a non-disclosure agreement at the audit if you'd like.

When we'll say no

We'd rather tell you at the audit than three months in.

  • Your need is a one-off and won't evolve. A subscription would be of no use to you.
  • Your project goes beyond what our tools can reliably do.
  • Nobody on your side can spend an hour a week testing and approving what we deliver.

Frequently asked questions

How is this possible at this price?

Artificial intelligence now writes a large part of the code. So our time goes to what matters: understanding your business, answering you and checking every delivery.

Can I really ask for anything, even big projects?

Yes. A layout detail or a complete module, your list has no limit. Bugs and tweaks are handled within 2 business hours. New features go one at a time, in the order you choose: their timing depends on their size, because each one is fully tested before going live. You always know the date in advance.

What happens if I cancel the subscription?

You keep your data and your tool. With Bubble, everything is already on your account. With custom code, we hand over the code and the database, or help you install them on your side.

Where is my data stored?

In Europe. A GDPR-compliant data processing agreement is attached to your contract.

What kind of tools can you build?

Internal tools (client tracking, quotes, job scheduling, stock management, dashboards) as well as tools for your customers (customer portal, appointment booking, online ordering).

Let's talk about what bugs you every day.

45 minutes, free and with no commitment. You leave with an honest opinion, even if it's to tell you no.
