The London agency quote, replaced.
A London agency quotes £40,000–£150,000 and 3–6 months for a minimum viable product. A freelance team quotes less and delivers slower. Multos builds the same product from a plain-English description in days — and deploys it to your own UK cloud account, so you own everything the agency would have built.
The real numbers, side by side
UK agency MVP: £40,000–£150,000, 3–6 months, change requests billed hourly. Freelance team: £15,000–£50,000, 2–4 months, availability risk. Multos: free to start (1M tokens/month), Lite $20/month for 30M tokens — and your first working version in days, with every change included, not invoiced.
Who owns the code?
Agency contracts vary — some assign IP on final payment, some retain components, some lock you into their maintenance retainer. With Multos, the code is standard, portable, and yours from the first build. Download it, audit it, hand it to any team.
Who hosts the app?
Agencies typically host on their own reseller accounts or leave hosting to you — after another quote. Multos deploys to your own AWS eu-west-2 (London), Azure UK South, or GCP europe-west2 account. Your infrastructure, your compliance story, your bill at cost.
What happens after launch?
Agency maintenance retainers run £500–£2,000/month and every change request is a new quote. With Multos, you describe the change in plain English and the AI makes it — included in your token plan. Iterate at conversation speed, not procurement speed.
When an agency is still the right call
Honest answer: for a regulated enterprise system with years of legacy integration, a senior agency team earns its rate. For an MVP, a SaaS v1, an internal tool, or a customer portal — the AI build gets you to market faster and cheaper, with code your future agency (if you ever hire one) can pick up cleanly.
UK data residency included
The agency would ask you where to host. Multos answers by default: London regions, your own account, UK GDPR-friendly by architecture. No third-party platform holding your users' data.
Payments and production patterns built in
Stripe and Adyen skills inject verified payment patterns — the same work an agency bills discovery sprints for. 71 specialized skills cover auth, databases, and DevOps with production-grade patterns.
