Hire app developers

Hire app developers
who ship.

Hiring one freelance developer gets you code. Hiring a team gets you an app: someone who works out the requirements, someone who designs it, developers for mobile and back end, and someone who tests it. We are a ten-person team you can hire as a unit, at a fixed price per stage.

What we build

What you get
when you hire us

01

A project lead

One person who knows your project, keeps the schedule and tells you where things stand before you ask.

02

Design

Screens and flows designed and tested with you before code is written.

03

Mobile developers

iOS and Android, native or React Native, depending on what the app needs.

04

Back-end developers

APIs, databases, admin panels and integrations — the half of an app users never see.

05

Testing

Real devices, automated tests where they matter, and store submission handled.

06

Maintenance

OS updates, store requirements and small improvements after launch.

The reality

Freelancer, agency
or team for hire?

A freelancer is great for a small, well-defined job. For an app your business depends on, the risk is continuity: one person, one point of failure.

A big agency covers every role but prices in its overhead. A small team covers the roles without the overhead — that is the gap we fit.

Hourly staff augmentation can work with a strong internal product owner. If you do not have one, a fixed-price-per-stage project with a team that also does analysis is usually safer.

How it works

Fixed price per stage,
not an open meter.

After a free call and a short analysis, you get a fixed price for the first stage — usually the smallest version that is useful — and a working build every week.

You can stop after any stage and keep everything: code in your repository, apps under your developer accounts, IP assigned to your company.

Calls happen in your morning, our afternoon; the build happens while you are offline.

How we work

Fixed price,
no surprises.

  1. Free 30-minute callWhat you sell, who to, and what the site or software has to do. No sales deck. Sometimes the honest conclusion is that you need less than you thought.
  2. Fixed-price quoteOne figure in writing, covering everything needed to go live. It does not move mid-project: anything you add later is quoted separately, and only if you ask.
  3. Built in stagesYou see something usable within the first weeks, then every week after. Corrections happen during the build, not in a big review at the end.
  4. Launch and afterGo-live, checks, training for your team. Maintenance is optional — you are not locked in, and the domain, accounts and source code are in your company's name.

FAQ

The questions we always get.

Can I hire developers by the hour?

We prefer fixed-price stages because they protect you from open-ended costs. For ongoing work after launch, we can agree a monthly allocation.

Can your developers join our existing team?

Yes, for well-defined workstreams, with code in your repository and your review process.

Do you sign NDAs and assign IP?

Yes, both, as standard.

How much does a website cost?

A company website costs €350 one-off, plus €150 if you want the initial optimization for Google and Bing, or €24.80 a month with hosting, domain, maintenance and content changes included on a 24-month minimum term. Web apps start at €50 a month or €750 one-off; custom business software starts at €1,500. Larger projects get a fixed quote after a free analysis.

Will we own the website and the code?

Yes. On the one-off option the domain, hosting, content and source code are registered in your company's name from go-live, and the code lives in your repository. There is no license tied to us and no lock-in.

Do we pay VAT or sales tax on your invoice?

Our invoices to US businesses are issued without Italian VAT, because business services sold outside the EU are not subject to it, and as a foreign service provider we do not add US sales tax. Your accountant will confirm how to record it on your side — it is a standard cross-border arrangement.

Got a project in the US?

Thirty minutes on a video call, free and with no sales deck: we tell you what you actually need, what it costs and how long it takes to go live. If we are not the right fit, we tell you that too.
