On-demand developers who fix AI-generated bugs, patch security vulnerabilities, and harden your code against threats — fast. Flat fees. No surprises.
You build. We make sure it doesn't break — or get hacked.
Describe what's broken, paste your code, and tell us how urgent it is. Takes 2 minutes.
Flat fee. No hourly billing. No surprises. If we can't fix it, you get a full refund.
A vetted developer or security specialist picks up your task immediately.
You get the working code with an explanation. Confirm it works, and you're done.
Every line of AI-generated code is a potential security risk. PatchUp Tech doesn't just fix bugs — we find and seal the gaps before attackers do.
Pick based on how urgently you need the fix. No subscriptions unless you want one.

AI writes fast. It also ships vulnerabilities, weak auth, exposed keys, and broken logic. PatchUp Tech is the human layer that fixes the code and locks it down.
We connect founders and builders with vetted developers and security specialists who fix bugs, patch vulnerabilities, harden APIs, and make sure your product is production-ready — not just functional.
General freelance platforms sell you access to developers and leave you to figure out if the work is any good. We sell you a guaranteed outcome — a working fix, verified by us, or your money back.

No technical knowledge needed. If something's broken, we need four things from you.
Tell us what the bug is, what you expected to happen, and what actually happens. Include error messages, screenshots, and logs. After payment, we create a private repository and invite you to upload your code there — only the assigned anonymous developer gets access, and only to what's needed. NDAs available on request at no extra cost.
This is the most important step. Simply answer: "What should happen when the bug is fixed?" For example — "the login should work with email X" or "the payment page should load without a 500 error." This becomes our verification test. No technical knowledge needed — just describe the expected outcome.
Your payment is held securely in escrow — not released to the developer until the fix is verified. Choose your urgency tier: 48hrs ($45), 24hrs ($95), or 4hrs ($195). If we can't fix it, you get a full refund. No risk on your side.
You get a complete fix package — the corrected code, a screen recording showing it working, a written explanation of what caused the bug, and a code diff showing exactly what changed. You have 48 hours to review and raise any concerns.
If you're satisfied, confirm and the escrow releases to the developer. If you're not satisfied within 48 hours, raise a dispute and we review the evidence. No ghosting, no arguing — just a fair, evidence-based decision.
Every developer on PatchUp Tech follows this protocol — no exceptions. This is what makes our fixes different from everything else on the internet.
Browse available bug submissions and claim one that matches your skill set. You appear to clients only as your anonymous developer alias — your real identity is never revealed. You must claim within the urgency window — Emergency tasks must be claimed within 30 minutes of posting.
You'll receive access to a private repository created specifically for this task — containing only the code relevant to the bug. Diagnose the root cause, fix the actual problem, and push your changes as a pull request. While fixing, flag any adjacent security issues you find.
Before submitting you must record a screen recording showing the fix working end-to-end. The recording must show the bug reproduced first, then the fix applied, then the expected behaviour confirmed. No recording = no payment release.
Your submission must include four things: (1) the corrected code, (2) a code diff showing exactly what changed, (3) the screen recording, and (4) a plain-English explanation of what caused the bug and how you fixed it. Incomplete submissions are returned.
For Priority and Emergency fixes, a second senior developer reviews your submission before it goes to the client. They check the code quality, the recording, and run the verification test. If it passes — it goes to the client. If not — you get one revision window.
We run an automated test against the client's defined success criteria. API endpoints are hit with Postman. Web flows are tested with Playwright. If the test passes — the fix is marked verified. If it fails — the task returns to you.
Once the client confirms or 48 hours pass without a dispute, escrow releases and you receive 80% of the fix fee directly to your bank account. Payments are processed within 24 hours of release via Razorpay (India) or Stripe (International).
PatchUp Tech was not built to make money at the expense of developers or clients. It was built because a real problem exists — AI writes code faster than anyone can debug it — and we want to fix that meaningfully. Every policy we have is designed to be fair to both sides. We speak for you, not just for the platform.
"We are not just a platform. We are a community of builders and fixers who believe that when AI creates problems, humans should solve them — fairly, transparently, and with integrity."

Your name, email, and bug submission details. For developers, we also collect your GitHub profile, skills, and banking details for payment processing. We never collect more than what's needed.
We never sell your data. We never share your code with third parties. We never share your email with developers or clients without your consent. Your codebase is strictly confidential.
For sensitive codebases, we sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before any developer accesses your code. Request this at the time of submission — no extra cost.
Bug submissions and fix records are retained for 12 months for dispute resolution purposes, then permanently deleted. You can request deletion of your data at any time by emailing admin@patchuptech.com.
We use minimal cookies only for site functionality. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. No third-party ad networks have access to your browsing data on patchuptech.com.
Clients have 48 hours after receiving the fix package to raise a dispute. After 48 hours with no dispute, payment auto-releases to the developer and the task is closed. Email admin@patchuptech.com with "DISPUTE" in the subject line.
Every dispute is decided on evidence — not on who complains loudest. We review the screen recording, the code diff, the verification test result, and the original bug description. The decision is made within 48 hours of the dispute being raised.
You receive a full refund if: the bug is not fixed, the fix introduces new bugs, or the developer fails to submit within the agreed time window. Refunds are processed within 5 business days.
A 50% refund may apply if the fix works in testing but fails in a specific client environment due to factors outside the bug scope — for example, a client-side configuration issue that was not disclosed at submission.
No refund if: the verification test passes and screen recording confirms the fix, the client changes the scope after submission, or the dispute is raised after the 48-hour window. Clients with 3+ refund requests are flagged for review.
All decisions by PatchUp Tech are final. By submitting a bug or applying as a developer, you agree to this dispute resolution process. For questions email admin@patchuptech.com.
