The same software the incumbents sell — at half the price.
Halfstack rebuilds the software you actually use from the tools you overpay for — clean, honest, and half the price. One product at a time, on the way to 100.
- ~50% lower bills
- No enterprise bloat
- No lock-in, ever
The same idea, every time.
We don’t reinvent categories — we re-price them. Three steps, repeated toward 100.
Pick a tool people overpay for
We start with established B2B software that has a real headline price and a clear, self-serve core — the kind of bill teams quietly resent.
Rebuild the 80% that matters
The features 95% of users actually pay for — rebuilt clean and modern. We deliberately skip the enterprise long tail that pads the checklist and the price.
Charge half
Same core workflow, roughly half the bill. One honest, flat price. Your data stays yours, and you can leave whenever you want.
What we’re building.
Each one is its own company — its own brand, billing, and data. The list grows toward 100.
Timewise
Booking links, calendar sync, reminders, and round-robin — the scheduling core, without the per-seat creep.
Deadbolt
Zero-knowledge vaults, secure sharing, and audit logs for your whole team — encrypted end to end.
An honest-priced alternative to Asana — scoped and on the roadmap.
An honest-priced alternative to Figma — scoped and on the roadmap.
An honest-priced alternative to Typeform — scoped and on the roadmap.
An honest-priced alternative to Zendesk — scoped and on the roadmap.

Half the price is the product, not a sale.
The discount isn’t a promotion that expires — it’s how the whole thing is built.
Lean by design
No enterprise sales team, no field marketing, no sprawling org. Two people shipping fast with AI. The savings are structural — not a discount that expires.
The core 80%, not the bloat
We rebuild what people use every day and skip the long tail that exists to justify enterprise tiers. Less surface, more focus.
One honest price
The number on the page is the number you pay. No per-feature upsells, no “call us” tier, no surprise line items.
Your data is yours
Export anytime. No lock-in, no hostage pricing, no tier you have to phone a salesperson to leave.
Secure by default
Row-level security, encryption at rest, and SSO where it matters — built into every product, not sold as a premium add-on.
Each one stands alone
Every product is its own company — its own brand, billing, and database. Halfstack just signs the work and shares the design.
Questions, answered.
How can it really be half the price?+
We run lean and rebuild only the features most people actually use. No enterprise sales team, no bloat to maintain. The structural savings go to you — it’s not an introductory discount.
Is the quality worse because it’s cheaper?+
No. Cheaper here means a smaller, sharper product — not a worse-built one. We rebuild the core 80% to a high bar and leave out the parts most teams never touch.
Are these clones of the original tools?+
They’re independent, original products that cover the same core workflow. We build from public documentation — never the incumbent’s code, designs, or assets — and we’re not affiliated with them.
What do you mean by “100 products”?+
Our goal is 100 live, paying-capable products by the end of 2027 — each an honest-priced alternative to a tool people overpay for. The showcase above is where we are today.
