Frequently asked questions
- How much does it cost to hire a dedicated engineer?
- A senior U.S.-based dedicated engineer is $16,000/month at a $100/hr blended bill rate, including a shared Delivery Manager, sprint participation, and weekly reporting. Annual prepay saves 15%.
- What's included in the Engineering Pod tier?
- The $32,000/month Engineering Pod includes 2 dedicated U.S.-based engineers, a shared QA pool, a shared Delivery Manager, architecture reviews, sprint planning, weekly reporting, and release support. It's our most popular tier for product teams shipping features.
- Do you offer discounts for annual commitments?
- Yes — annual prepay is 15% off every monthly tier, billed up front with locked-in capacity. Month-to-month engagements have no discount but full flexibility to scale up, scale down, or pause between phases.
- Is there a free way to evaluate a fit before committing?
- Yes. The Free Assessment is a 30-minute engineering consultation covering delivery bottlenecks, architecture review, resource recommendation, and a budget estimate. No cost, no obligation.
- Do you charge extra for QA, DevOps, or project management?
- No hidden line items. Every engagement tier includes a shared Delivery Manager. QA is pooled in the Engineering Pod tier and dedicated at Enterprise Pod ($75,000/month) and above. Specialized resources like Solutions Architect, Fractional CTO, or dedicated QA can be stacked at published rates.
- What about fixed-scope projects instead of monthly engagements?
- Fixed-scope Software Development packages range from a $1,000 Discovery Sprint to $100,000+ Enterprise Initiatives — priced per deliverable, not per hour. See the packages section on this page or the /software-development page.
