Every change checked by a human developer
Hand us the prototype you already have, or the tasks on your list. We build it, a Squirrel developer reads every change before it reaches you, and you get working software back — at a published monthly price.
Case study spotlight
Website tasks delivered
A list of website tasks delivered in 42 hours of work, with every change checked by a person before it went live.
3.2x faster on 41 tasks, measured on one project
42 hours of our work replaced an estimated 135 hours of senior-developer work.
From prototype to app
An AI-built one-page prototype became a working app with a public site and a staff area, without throwing the original screens away.
26 tasks, about 10 h of our working time
Against an estimated 33 hours with AI and 115 hours without it.
It shows the idea, but it is not a product yet. We turn it into a working, deployed app, and a Squirrel developer reads every change.

The short version
Three things you can count on before you sign anything.
Send the tasks you already wrote down. Rough notes are fine — it is a to-do list, not a specification.
The AI writes the change; a Squirrel developer reads it before it goes live, in about 30 minutes per task. Nothing ships unchecked.
Three published plans from €1,880 a month, and a paid pilot of 10 tasks credited against month one.
Try it on your own backlog
Nothing to rebuild — Squirrel works from the task list you already have. We handle the rest.
Free scoping estimate from 3 tasks; the paid pilot is credited against month one; no commitment to continue.
Or skip the call
Paste up to three tasks and we will write back with a price estimate for each one. Rough notes are fine - it is a list of tasks, not a specification.

Case study
We tracked every task on a recent client build — the agent's time, a 30-minute human review, and what a senior developer would have needed. Across 41 tasks: 42 hours logged vs ~135 hours of senior-dev work. That's 3.2x, and 92 hours saved.
Case study
Soligtera's AI-built prototype for Amber Beaches became a demo-ready Django app and staff area.
Send three tasks from your list, or show us the prototype you already have. We reply with a written estimate before anything is built. Nothing set up on your side yet? That is part of the onboarding, and we do it for you.
An AI agent and a Squirrel developer work through the tasks together. Every change is read by the developer before it reaches you.
Finished, tested software you can click through before it goes live, with the code handed over to you.
Before you decide
It is worth a second opinion. These are the five questions a partner, an accountant or your own developer usually asks, answered the way they would get on a call.
Pricing
Reviewed output is an estimate based on one reviewed client project (41 tasks): our measured 3.2x on reviewed tasks. How we count
€1,880 per month
Includes the €1,000 platform price and 16 hours of developer time recorded against your tasks.
€1,000 platform price + 16 hours × €55 = €1,880 per month.
About €118 per task (estimate, assuming about 1 hour of developer time per task).
Every task is estimated in hours of developer time before work starts, and you can set a monthly budget cap.
Paid pilot: €990 for 10 tasks, credited against your first monthly fee.
€2,908 per month
Includes the €1,000 platform price and 36 hours of developer time recorded against your tasks.
€1,000 platform price + 36 hours × €53 = €2,908 per month.
About €81 per task (estimate, assuming about 1 hour of developer time per task).
Every task is estimated in hours of developer time before work starts, and you can set a monthly budget cap.
Paid pilot: €990 for 10 tasks, credited against your first monthly fee.
€5,000 per month
Includes the €1,000 platform price and 80 hours of developer time recorded against your tasks.
€1,000 platform price + 80 hours × €50 = €5,000 per month.
About €62 per task (estimate, assuming about 1 hour of developer time per task).
Every task is estimated in hours of developer time before work starts, and you can set a monthly budget cap.
Paid pilot: €990 for 10 tasks, credited against your first monthly fee.
The platform price is €1,000 a month. With it you rent the whole development setup you would otherwise have to build, run and pay for yourself. All of it is included.
The platform price pays for this setup; the hours of developer time pay for the people.
Setup is a one-off fee; the plans above state the amount and whether it is waived.
Hosting continues after delivery: the private test copy of your app stays in the plan, and production hosting can continue on MB Pikutis infrastructure for as long as you need it.
| Included hours | Platform price | Developer time at the plan's hourly rate | Monthly price | Senior-equivalent output (estimate) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 h | €1,000 | 16 h × €55 = €880 | €1,880 | about 51 hours of senior developer work (estimate) |
| 36 h | €1,000 | 36 h × €53 = €1,908 | €2,908 | about 115 hours of senior developer work (estimate) |
| 80 h | €1,000 | 80 h × €50 = €4,000 | €5,000 | about 256 hours of senior developer work (estimate) |
Prices exclude VAT. The senior-equivalent output is an estimate at our measured 3.2x — based on one reviewed client project (41 tasks) — not a measurement.

Squirrel vs the alternatives
Most buyers weigh three options: hiring someone, handing the work to a freelancer or an agency, or buying a coding tool for the team they already have. Here is how Squirrel compares with each of them.
Squirrel runs on MB Pikutis' own infrastructure in Europe — a data centre in Vilnius and the company's own data centre in Kaunas — so your code and your data are hosted and processed in Europe. MB Pikutis is certified for information security (ISO/IEC 27001), and you choose which AI model handles your work, including models hosted in the EU.
We set everything up: your access, a private copy of your app for testing, and the automation that tests and releases each change. Support is included, and you pay for hours of developer time rather than per seat. The task list and the code stay yours.
Squirrel returns working, checked software — not raw suggestions. A Squirrel developer reads and approves every change before it reaches you.
You are not tied to one AI vendor's models, pricing or plans: the model that handles your work is chosen for the project, and models hosted in the EU are available.
Squirrel builds and maintains web software, and nothing else. That focus is why a small team can check every change and still usually deliver the same day.
Squirrel is built by pikutis.dev. There's a team to talk to and hold accountable — a service with support, not self-serve software.

Where does GitHub Copilot fit? Copilot makes the developers you already employ faster at writing code, but someone still has to decide what to build, check the result and answer for it. Squirrel is a managed service: we set everything up, host a private test copy of your app, run the automation, a Squirrel developer checks every change, support is included, and you pay for hours of developer time.
FAQ
The questions we get asked most, answered straight.
The task count is an exact total across every client project. The hour saving is an estimate: for each task we estimate the hours an experienced developer would have needed, and across that work it comes out at 3.2x the hours we actually logged - measured on one client project (PipelinePharma). We don't cherry-pick the easy tasks. The full method, including what the AI costs, is on the PipelinePharma case study.
A Squirrel developer reads every change before it reaches you. The AI never sends anything on its own.
Your code is kept on MB Pikutis' own infrastructure in Europe: a data centre in Vilnius and the company's own data centre in Kaunas. The details a technical reader wants - the certification we hold, the data centres and the AI models we use - are set out on the developer page.
Book a demo. Onboarding takes about one working day and we do the setup: your access, the task list and the place your code is kept if you don't have them yet, a private copy of your app for testing, and the automation that builds and tests every change for you.
Starter is €1,880 per month: a €1,000 platform price plus 16 hours of developer time at €55 an hour. Setup is €490, not waived. Month to month, no minimum term. Team is €2,908 per month: a €1,000 platform price plus 36 hours of developer time at €53 an hour. Setup is waived. Month to month, no minimum term. Dedicated is €5,000 per month: a €1,000 platform price plus 80 hours of developer time at €50 an hour. Setup is waived. Month to month, no minimum term. Extra hours are €55 on Starter, €53 on Team, €50 on Dedicated. Prices exclude VAT, and AI usage up to €150 per project per month is included.
The platform price is €1,000 a month in every plan, and it rents the whole development setup you would otherwise have to build, run and pay for yourself. That includes servers where your software is built and tested, a private test copy of your app, automatic building, testing and deployment of every change, security scans of every version we release, project access, task-list automation and support, and AI usage for your project up to €150 per month. The platform price pays for that setup; the hours of developer time pay for the people.
Yes. Every version of your app we release is scanned for known security problems before it goes out, and a failed scan stops the deployment.
Unused included hours roll over for one month.
A paid pilot of 10 tasks, credited against your first monthly fee.
No. The AI never puts anything live: a Squirrel developer reads and approves every change first.
Typically the same day.
Revisions are included until the task is done.
Tasks an experienced developer would take about 1-8 hours to do. Larger initiatives are not a single task — they are split into tasks first.
You get the project handed over: the task list, the code and the process are yours, and hosting continues on MB Pikutis infrastructure for as long as you need it, a private test copy of your app included. There is no lock-in: you can stop whenever you want.
You own the code and the deliverables, and the code is handed over to you. The hosting runs on MB Pikutis infrastructure and continues after delivery; it is a service, not a lock-in.
Why a squirrel?
In Norse myth, Ratatoskr is the squirrel who runs up and down Yggdrasil, the world tree, carrying messages between the eagle in the branches and the serpent at the roots. Squirrel makes the same trip between your task list and your software: one task goes down, one finished, checked change comes back up.
Nothing to rebuild — Squirrel works from the task list you already have. We handle the rest.
Free scoping estimate from 3 tasks; the paid pilot is credited against month one; no commitment to continue.
Built in-house. Now other teams run on it.
Squirrel started as our internal tool. Today it ships client work — and other teams have bought in.
