Every action, every rupee, on the receipt.
Other tools charge you in credits that don't mean anything. You blow through them and can't tell why.
Jugaad shows you exactly what each step of a build actually cost, in real rupees, the moment it finishes. No opaque credit balance to decode. The receipt above is what you actually see while building.

"Emergent pe credits khatam ho gaye. Yahaan pata chala kya kharcha hai." — Meera, Jaipur
Why Jugaad
Three things the others get wrong.
Real cost transparency
An itemized receipt, not a mystery balance.
Every build shows what it actually cost — in rupees, broken down by what happened. No credit balance that quietly drains with no explanation.
vs others: opaque credits, no breakdown
Actually checked before it's "done"
A build check runs before you're told it works.
The agent compiles the code and pings the live preview before reporting success — if it fails, it gets a chance to fix it first, instead of handing you a broken white screen and calling it done.
vs others: "done" on broken output
India-native pricing
Priced in ₹. Built for Indian builders.
Made in India, for Indian small businesses first — real rupee pricing, Hindi or Hinglish prompts understood natively, UPI or card. Works globally too — currency auto-switches.
vs others: USD-only, English-only
Templates
Start from a working app, not blank.

How it works: you build in chat, and once a build finishes we debit your wallet for what it actually cost — a small landing page runs ~₹6, a small iteration around ₹4.20. Every charge shows up as an itemized receipt in your billing history. No plans, no lock-in, no expiry on your balance.
FAQ
Straight answers.
What can I actually build with Jugaad?
Landing pages, forms, dashboards, booking pages, simple CRUD apps, form-to-sheet tools. Any web app that's a reasonable combination of pages, a database, auth, and payments. Not: mobile apps (yet), games, anything that needs GPU compute, or apps requiring physical hardware integration.
How is this different from Lovable or Emergent?
Three things. One: real rupee pricing with an itemized receipt after every build — not opaque credits you burn through with no idea why. Two: describe your app in Hindi or Hinglish, the agent understands both. Three: built and run by one founder in India who fixes real bugs the same day, not a VC-backed growth machine. The rest — chat, preview, templates — is table stakes we do too.
What does a build actually cost?
A landing page: ~₹6. A form-to-sheet: ~₹8. A small CRUD dashboard with auth: ~₹14. Iteration on top of a built app: ~₹0.50–₹6 per change. You'll see an itemized receipt in your billing history right after each build finishes.
What's NOT working at launch?
Being honest — a few things ship in v2, not v1. Production deploy — right now you get a real, working preview URL (yourname.preview.jugaad.sh) to build and share on; a separate "go live" deploy step and custom domains are coming soon. GitHub export — coming in month 2. Payments inside generated apps — you can build a form that collects orders, but wiring Razorpay/Stripe into your app takes a manual step for now. Mobile apps — web only at launch.
Can I use Jugaad in Hindi?
Yes — describe your app in Hindi or Hinglish. The agent understands both. UI is currently English-only, but Hindi UI is on the roadmap once we've tested with enough Hindi-speaking users. The apps you build can be in any language.
What if an agent build fails?
You're only ever charged for work the agent actually did. If something breaks on our end before the agent starts building, you're not charged at all. If the agent runs and hits a real error partway through, you pay for the work it did (same as any partial build) — the receipt shows exactly what ran. If the preview renders but you don't like it, iterate for a small cost per change.
Is my code mine?
Yes. You own everything you build on Jugaad. When GitHub export ships (month 2), you can pull the code out any time. There's no lock-in — the apps are standard Next.js + Postgres, runnable anywhere.
Who's behind Jugaad?
Built by Atish Kejriwal, a solo founder in India. Not VC-backed — this is a customer-funded product. Which means we work for you, not for growth-at-any-cost. Reach us at hello@jugaad.sh.
Made in India
Built here. Priced here. Works everywhere.
Jugaad means: figure it out and ship it.
Indian small business owners have been shipping full businesses with duct tape and WhatsApp for decades. Jugaad is that spirit, in code form.
We build for kirana owners, tiffin services, coaching classes, freelancers, weekend project-makers. If you've been priced out of "just hire a developer," Jugaad is for you.
Global users are welcome — currency auto-switches to your region, checkout runs in USD, we ship worldwide. The India-first approach just means we care about Hindi/Hinglish, WhatsApp, and paying in rupees the way most tools don't.
