Engagement Models

How We Work

We offer two ways to work together, each designed for different situations and preferences. Choose the model that fits how you want to build and own your software.

Model 1

Traditional Development

You pay for development, you own the code. The classic model for businesses who want full control and ownership of their software.

from £10k

How It Works

Pay for development upfront or in milestones
You own the code and all intellectual property
Deploy wherever you choose
Full freedom to modify, extend, or hand off to another team

Optional Ongoing Support

Deployment and hosting management
Technical support and maintenance
Ongoing feature development

Best For

Businesses with capital to invest upfront who want complete ownership and control. Ideal if you have or plan to build internal technical capacity.

Model 2

CoSaaS

Collaborative Software as a Service. A single monthly fee covers everything—development, hosting, support, and ongoing improvements.

from £1,000/month

How It Works

Fixed monthly fee covering everything
Minimum contract term of 3 years
Yagni owns and maintains the software
Continuous development and improvements included

Revenue Sharing Option

Resell the software to others in your network
Earn 30% of revenue from customers you bring
Turn your software investment into a revenue stream

Best For

Businesses who want predictable costs and a true partnership. No large upfront investment, and you benefit from ongoing development without additional charges.

Common Questions

Which model is right for me?

What if I want to own my code but don't have capital upfront?

We can discuss payment plans for traditional development, or you might start with CoSaaS and transition to ownership later. The right answer depends on your specific situation—let's talk about it.

What happens at the end of a CoSaaS contract?

Most clients continue—the software keeps improving and the relationship deepens. If you choose not to renew, we'll help you transition smoothly, including data export and handover documentation.

Can I switch from CoSaaS to Traditional ownership?

Yes. We can negotiate a buyout that takes into account your existing investment. This gives you the flexibility to start lean and take ownership when it makes sense for your business.

How does the 30% revenue share work?

If you introduce customers to the platform and they sign up, you receive 30% of their subscription revenue for as long as they remain customers. It's a way to offset your costs or even turn profit if you're well-connected in your industry.

Not sure which model fits?

Let's have a conversation about your situation. We'll help you figure out what makes sense.
