FAQ

Pricing and contract questions

Straight answers to what clients ask us most.

Need advice for your project?

Every product is different. Talk to a senior engineer about your tech stack, timeline and team, and get honest advice on your next step.

Talk to an Expert
Can we switch engagement models later?

Yes. Many clients start with a fixed-price MVP and move to a dedicated team as the product grows.

How are payments structured?

Fixed-price projects are paid per milestone; dedicated teams and time and material are billed monthly with transparent timesheets.

Is there a minimum contract length?

Dedicated teams and staff augmentation use flexible monthly contracts. We will confirm the details in your proposal.

Do you sign an NDA?

Always, and before the first call if you like. Your code and intellectual property belong to you.
