DeepGrade is a small Newfoundland studio. We design and build custom software and websites for commercial fishing and seafood, fitted to how your operation actually works. You deal directly with the two people who build it.

Proof, not slides

Working software you can poke at, right now.

The deck, the dock, and the cold room have no signal, so most software fails exactly where the work happens. Cut the connection and keep recording. Every landing queues on the device and syncs the moment you’re back in range.

And this site? We built it. It’s a working sample of the kind of website we’d build for you.

Who you'll work with

DeepGrade is two people in Newfoundland.

No account managers, no offshore handoff, no support queue. Email us and you reach the person who builds your software or picks up the phone. Small on purpose: close enough to fit the work to your dock, fast enough to ship in weeks.

How we work

From a dock walk to working software, in weeks.

No heavyweight ERP, no six-figure rollout, no nine-month wait. A small studio that knows the domain, moves fast, and leaves you something a deckhand in gloves can actually use.

Pricing · CAD

Everyone in this category hides their price. We show the range.

Websites are a flat one-time build, with upkeep optional. The apps are a one-time build plus a monthly that runs hosting, sync, support, and updates. Real ranges, in plain sight, no per-seat gouging, no quote-only runaround.

Enterprise seafood software is quote-only, sold through sales calls, and built for the big processors. You won’t see a number until you’re several calls deep. Here’s where ours starts, in plain sight. Your exact figure is set by scope and confirmed in writing after a call.

★ Founding Operator pricing · first 8

Our first eight operators lock the floor of every range.

Take the founding rate, the bottom of each range below, in exchange for honest feedback and, if we earn it, a reference and your story. On the apps your monthly is held for three years. No countdown, no games: eight slots, and we’ll tell you how many are left.

Websites, built once and yours to keep. Upkeep is optional, never required to use what you paid for.
