Frequently asked questions

How much do you charge?

We typically charge $10k to $15k per engineer per month, although this could vary for complex projects. Our customers find our pricing to be more competitive than anything they find in the US.

When can you start working for me?

Please contact us, but most likely, immediately! We always try to keep some reserve capacity to serve new customers with minimal delay.

What are the logistics of working together?

We are flexible! Typically we first engage in a two-week paid trial so our clients can validate the value we can provide. Projects can be fixed term (typically 3+ months), or indefinite (we become an integrated part of the team).
