CodeMage

What CodeMage does

CodeMage (legal entity: Formico Diligenter d.o.o.) is a privately held software development agency headquartered in Split, Croatia, operating since 2021 with a team of nine. The firm delivers full-stack custom software across web and mobile, working primarily in React, Next.js, Flutter, React Native, .NET, Vue.js, and Supabase, and runs a secondary engineering office inside Split's Dračevac technology park. Its portfolio spans cryptocurrency and fintech platforms (Bitcoin Store, the largest crypto brokerage in Croatia; Bitkonan regional exchange), sports and training software (Smart Training Center Split, Recre, STC Schedule), financial tooling (Swing Q invoice portal), e-commerce (Stamatis), and tourism (SailWeek, Sail Away Korčula), with disclosed end-user reach exceeding 100,000 across the platforms it has built.

The agency's revenue is generated through two streams: bespoke project-based and ongoing development engagements priced on a quote basis, and a productized service line called Vibe Code Rescue that audits, stabilizes, and restructures codebases originally built with AI tools such as Lovable, Bolt, and Cursor. Vibe Code Rescue is sold in three tiers — a one-time Codebase Audit (€500–800 over 3–5 days), an Ongoing Architecture retainer (€2,000–4,000/month for 10–20 hours per week), and a custom-priced Full Team Restructuring engagement with 2–4 developers — representing the firm's clearest move toward repeatable, packaged revenue.

Commercially, CodeMage runs a sales-led go-to-market centered on direct website inquiries, a Clutch profile, and an organic social presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Behance, supplemented by content marketing via a blog launched in September 2024. It is independently owned with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no institutional investors, and it serves clients primarily across Croatia, the broader Adriatic, and DACH-region markets, with select engagements in Greece.
