Outsourcing to India: the same work, for 40 to 70 percent less.
A senior engineer in the US or UK costs roughly $100 to $150 an hour. The same skill level in India runs about $20 to $45. That gap is real money you can put back into product, marketing or margin.
- Every project is a fixed price, agreed before work starts.
- No public rate card games — you get your exact number on the first conversation.
- No surprise invoices, no padded hours, no lock-in.

Three ways to engage. One fixed price.
Pick the model that fits the work. Every one is quoted up front, with IP assigned to you on payment.
Fixed-price project
Defined scope, a fixed quote agreed before work starts, and a clear delivery date. Best when you know exactly what you need built.
Monthly retainer
A set block of senior hours every month for ongoing build, automation and search work. Best for continuous roadmaps and agency partners.
Dedicated team
Full-time developers, marketers or AI engineers who work only on your account, interviewed and chosen by you. Best for scaling without local payroll.
Why we don’t publish a rate card
Outsourcing work is never one-size-fits-all. A fixed hourly rate either overcharges simple work or undercharges complex work — both cost you. Instead we scope your project and quote a single fixed price before anything starts, so you know your exact number and never see a surprise invoice. The market figures above are there so you can sanity-check that number against the world.
Straight answers on cost.
Let’s start together.
Tell us the scope and we will send a fixed price, usually within 48 hours. No deck, no pressure.
