Laravel Maintenance vs Feature Development
Maintenance keeps your Laravel app secure and stable; feature sprints grow the product. GreeLogix retainers blend both with transparent hour banks — you always know what went to bugs versus enhancements.
We maintain apps we built and apps we audit first. Undocumented legacy gets a short onboarding audit so fixes do not create new production risks.

- Retainers from $1,500–$6,000/month depending on SLA, hours, and environment count. Ad-hoc support billed per sprint or ticket pack.
