Boutique Software Development Services for Startups

Software development services for startup businesses imply building a solution to realize a particular tech idea, market it, and test its value in a real-world setting. The process includes requirement gathering and idea validation, creating designs and prototypes, actual development along with various types of testing, deployment and release, and finally, post-release support and improvements when needed.

There’s no universal answer to this question, as software development cost depends on a multitude of factors. The most important one is the complexity of the envisioned product, the number of features and their uniqueness, the number of custom integrations, the load on the backend in terms of user traffic and stored data, etc. Another thing that defines the cost of startup software development is the hourly rates of engineers and other IT specialists. They, in turn, depend on the level of experience and the region where a specialist is located. For instance, if you’re operating in Northern America, it can be very beneficial to hire developers from Eastern Europe to cut costs without compromising the quality.

There are platforms like Clutch where you can get an overview of development services provided by different countries and read reviews about the finished projects. You can also just search for particular types of development you’re looking for (specific technologies, platforms, niches) and find a relevant provider. When choosing a company to cooperate with, explore the portfolio to see if there are projects that are relevant to your service, startup idea, and business needs. Also, learn how you’ll communicate with the development team and how you’ll be able to review the results and adjust the process if needed.

Outsourcing startup product development can open a much wider pool of tech talents for you, as well as give you an opportunity to partner with a company that is a perfect fit for your project in terms of tech stack, niche experience, and mindset. On top of that, building a team internally or searching for developers domestically is usually more expensive and includes the added burden of handling administrative processes.

At Binary Studio, we can provide you with individual developers for hire, but in most cases, we build a dedicated team for our clients. A dedicated team model means that we’ll build a custom team of IT specialists (not limited to developers) and cover all the administrative processes with you. You’ll be able to directly communicate with the team, as well as impact the process when you need to introduce some adjustments. You can also request the scaling of the team at any given moment, and we’ll provide you with more engineers to cover your needs.
