A three-person software team called Slopfix says it will charge up to $10,000 per week to strip out bloated AI-generated code and make projects maintainable again. The group — Maciej, Kuba, and Krzysztof — claims it can reduce vibecoded codebases by up to 65% in size.
The pitch is aimed at companies that embraced vibecoding and now have sprawling applications suffering from duplicated functions, broken features, logic issues, and hallucinated code. According to the report, Slopfix reviews an app “screen by screen, endpoint by endpoint” to identify the worst problems.
Despite the anti-bloat mission, Slopfix is not rejecting AI outright. The team uses Claude Code to help spot issues, but says it keeps the tool “on a very short leash”.
“the agent doesn’t get a vote.”
Instead, the developers say they rely on their own engineering judgment to decide what should be removed or rewritten.

The $10,000 figure is not described as a flat weekly rate in every case. TechRadar reports that payment is tied to how much of the reduction target Slopfix actually achieves, with $10,000 applying when the target is met. The team also offers a free codebase analysis before taking on a project and says it will decline contracts it cannot fix.
Slopfix also promises a two-week warranty for anything it breaks during the cleanup. As more companies run into the limits of large AI-built software projects, services like this may not stay unusual for long.
