FAQ
Straight answers.
How can you charge less without cutting corners?
Our team is based in India, where salaries, offices and day-to-day costs are lower. We pass that on to you. We don't save money by rushing, skipping tests or handing your project to whoever is free.
Who owns the code and the IP?
You do. The code lives in your repository and the infrastructure runs in your cloud account. Our contract assigns the IP to you, and we sign an NDA before you share anything confidential.
When are you available, and how will we communicate?
We work flexible hours that overlap with your working day, wherever you are. You get regular written progress updates, a shared Slack or Teams channel, and calls when they're useful.
Can we try you before committing to a big project?
Yes. Start with a pilot sprint: about a week of real work for a fixed fee. If you continue, the fee is credited against the project.
How do payments work?
Projects are paid per milestone. Dedicated engineers are billed monthly. Prices are in USD, and we can invoice in your currency.
