Dedicated Development Team

What a dedicated development team actually costs in 2026.

This is priced differently from a project quote — monthly, per role, because your team composition and roadmap can change over time. Here's what that actually looks like by role.

FAQs

Questions about pricing

Why is this priced per month instead of as a project quote?

Because dedicated team engagements are for ongoing, evolving work — not a fixed scope with a defined end date. Monthly per-role pricing matches how the engagement actually works: you can add, reduce, or shift roles as your roadmap changes.

Is there a minimum commitment period?

We're upfront about this during scoping rather than locking you into fine print — ask directly and we'll give you a clear answer based on the roles and ramp-up involved.

How does this compare to hiring locally in the US or UK?

Clients in the US and UK typically save 40-60% versus hiring the same roles locally, while still getting dedicated, full-time engagement rather than a shared contractor pool.

Can we change team composition partway through?

Yes — this is the core advantage of the model. You can add a role, swap a specialist, or scale the team up or down as your roadmap and priorities evolve, without renegotiating a fixed-scope contract.
