AI-native
delivery
AI in the loop from spec to ship: generation, review, refactors, tests, docs. Faster than agencies built before the AI era, without the brittleness vibe coding leaves behind.
Product engineering for marketplaces and two-sided platforms
Build the matching engine, the trust layer, and the payouts that make a marketplace work.
Two-sided platforms, real-time matching, escrow + payouts, ratings + disputes. We've shipped the systems that make a marketplace credible from the first listing. Senior team, one subscription, pause any time.

Services
From brand to backend, one team.
Stacklane covers product engineering, design, motion, and brand work. One subscription, one cadence, one invoice.
Three ways to ship software today. Stacklane is the fourth.
In-house hiring
Months of recruiting, then onboarding, then attrition. By the time the team ships, the market has moved.
We start this week, AI-native, production-grade.
Freelancers & marketplaces
Quality varies. No ownership. They disappear mid-project, and the next one inherits a brittle codebase.
We own delivery, not just tasks.
Vibe-coding studios + legacy agencies
Vibe coders ship demoware that breaks in production. Legacy agencies bill hours and pretend AI doesn't exist.
AI speed, senior judgment, real software.
You focus on growth. We ship real software.
Marketplace surfaces
The patterns we ship for marketplace teams
Marketplaces are not CRUD apps. The hard parts are real-time, financial, and emotional all at once. Here is the stack we've shipped before.
01
Real-time matching
Search, ranking, auction, or bid-style matching with WebSocket fan-out. Latency is the product.
02
Escrow + payouts
Stripe Connect, Adyen MarketPay, or Mollie Connect. Funds held until the work is done, split correctly, payouts on schedule.
03
Ratings + disputes
Mutual rating windows, dispute workflows, evidence collection, and the operator queue that resolves them.
04
Trust + safety
Identity verification, fraud signals, marketplace integrity rules, and the moderation surfaces the safety team works from.
05
Affiliate + referrals
Multi-tier referrals, attribution, payout to the right side. The growth loop without the leaky math.
06
Operator console
Listings, users, payouts, disputes, manual override, audit log. Everything the team needs to keep the platform honest.
How it works
From listing one to payout one thousand
We ship the surfaces both sides of the marketplace use, plus the operator tools the trust + safety team lives in.

Recent work, shipped in weeks.
Four featured projects Stacklane delivered on subscription. Engineering, design, and brand on one cadence, with no internal hires required.
Our benefits for marketplaces
From cold start to liquidity, in production.
Engineering that handles supply, demand, and the messy middle between them.
Production
grade
Architected, reviewed, tested, owned. Real software you can keep. Not demoware, not prototype code that ships, not unreviewed AI output sent to your customers.
Daily
shipping
Features land every working day, not at quarter-end. Continuous progress visible in your repo, not in a slide deck. Pause with 7 days notice.
End-to-end
ownership
Accountable for what ships, not what gets coded. Discovery, design, build, deploy, maintain. One subscription, one team that owns the outcome.
Our Pricing
Engineering is the anchor. Design is an add-on.
One subscription for delivery. Add Product Design when the UI needs the same craft as the system underneath.

Questions & answers
Frequently Asked Questions
01
How fast will I receive results?
We usually start the same day after onboarding. You'll see progress daily and weekly, with features and improvements delivered continuously based on your backlog and priorities.
02
Who will work on my product?
Senior engineers, 8+ years in production, with AI in the loop end-to-end. We use the AI tooling, we own the architecture, and we sign the review on every PR. Stacklane takes full responsibility for engineering delivery.
03
Is there a limit to how many requests I can make?
No, you can submit as many requests as you want.
04
How do you handle larger requests or features?
Large features are broken down into smaller milestones and delivered step by step. You always see progress and can adjust priorities as we go.
05
Can agencies use this as a white-label solution?
Yes. Agencies can work with Stacklane as a technical partner and offer our engineering services under their own brand if desired.
06
What if I only have a single request or small project?
We also offer one-off projects with fixed pricing. If you don't need ongoing development, a one-off project may be a better fit.
07
What if I don't like the result?
We work closely with you and iterate based on feedback. Our goal is to build software that fits your needs, not just deliver code.
08
Are there any requests you don't support?
We focus on software development and product design. We are not a good fit for simple marketing websites, very small design-only tasks or non-software services. If you're unsure, we'll help you determine fit during the discovery call.
09
How do we communicate and request work?
You submit requests through a shared backlog or project board. We communicate through tools like Slack, email, and regular check-ins.
10
How does pricing work?
Stacklane works on a flat monthly subscription: predictable pricing, no hidden fees, no long-term contracts. You can scale up, pause, or cancel at any time.
11
Are there any refunds?
We don't refund time already worked. Pause or cancel any time to avoid future charges; both take effect from the next billing cycle.
