Section 00 / In short
Aces High is a Dubai-based software studio that builds custom platforms for small organisations - associations, nonprofits, community groups - on a monthly subscription that includes hosting, support, and ongoing improvements. Founded by Renie Ravin (platform architecture) and Nandita Thomas (client strategy).
Section 01 / How it works
Three steps. No surprises.
-
Build
We build your platform.
One custom system that replaces the SaaS tools you’re duct-taping together. Members, events, payments, communications - whatever you need.
-
Run
You pay a monthly subscription.
Hosting, support, and ongoing improvements included. No big upfront cost. Cancel anytime. Your data is always yours.
-
Improve
It keeps getting better.
We continuously improve your platform based on real usage. New features, fixes, and optimisation - not a build-and-abandon job.
Section 02 / Why us
The same people who architect your system are the ones who build it, ship it, and support it.
Your data is yours.
Export everything at any time. If you leave, your data comes with you - no hostage situations.
AI made this possible.
Custom software that used to need a big team and bigger budget is now accessible at SaaS prices. We pass that saving to you.
Section 03 / Build vs buy
A custom platform vs the SaaS stack you’re renting.
| Custom platform (Aces High) | Off-the-shelf SaaS stack | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost shape | One monthly fee. No upfront build. Hosting + support + improvements included. | Per-seat pricing across 5-10 tools. Costs grow with the team and with each new SaaS added. |
| Fit | Built for your workflow. Members, events, payments, communications - whatever you actually need. | Built for the median customer. You shape your workflow around the tool, not the other way around. |
| Data ownership | Your data, always. Export anything at any time. Leaves with you. | Locked behind APIs, export caps, and integration fees. Switching costs grow with usage. |
| Logins for your team | One platform. One login. One source of truth. | One per tool. Members, CRM, email, payments, forms - duct-taped together. |
| Improvements | Continuous. We ship fixes and new features based on how you actually use it. | Vendor roadmap. You wait, vote, or pay extra for the feature you need. |
Section 04 / Frequently asked
Common questions, briefly answered.
- What does Aces High do?
- Aces High is a software studio that builds custom platforms for small organisations - associations, nonprofits, community groups - and maintains them on a monthly subscription. One custom platform replaces the SaaS stack you’d otherwise rent: members, events, payments, communications, all on one login.
- How is the monthly subscription priced?
- Monthly fees scale with the platform’s scope and usage, not with per-seat licensing. Hosting, support, and ongoing improvements are included. There’s no large upfront build fee, and you can cancel at any time. Pricing is quoted after a short scoping conversation.
- Who owns the data?
- You own your data, always. You can export everything at any time, and if you ever choose to leave, your data leaves with you. No hostage situations and no vendor lock-in on the dataset itself.
- Where is Aces High based?
- The studio operates from Dubai, UAE (Aces High FZCO, IFZA Business Park) with a registered office in Sheridan, Wyoming, USA (Aces High AI LLC). The team works with clients globally.
- Who runs Aces High?
- Aces High is run by Renie Ravin (platform architecture) and Nandita Thomas (client strategy). Renie previously built IndiBlogger, India’s largest creator platform, with more than 40,000 registered users.
- Why is custom software now possible at SaaS prices?
- AI-assisted development has collapsed the cost of building bespoke platforms. Work that used to require a 6-10 person team over 6-12 months can now ship with a small senior team in a fraction of the time. We pass that cost saving on as a monthly subscription instead of a six-figure build fee.
- What kinds of organisations does Aces High build for?
- Small organisations whose operations are held together by spreadsheets and too many SaaS logins: professional associations, nonprofits, community groups, member-driven networks, and similar bodies that need a single custom platform rather than a stitched-together SaaS stack.
