FAQ

Still unsure? See our answers to the most frequent questions we hear from LA startups:

Pricing arrow down icon

How does the pricing work?

For the Product Development Services, we provide a quote and proceed on a Time & Materials basis.

For the Development Team Extension Services, we provide developers and teams either on a daily rate basis or monthly rate basis.

What are the rates?

We usually charge between $50 - $60 / hour for Product Development services (depending on the exact product nature and expertise required) and between $40 - $55 hourly for the Team Extension services.

How do you design the product?

We conduct full Discovery Workshops in which we involve you and our team. During the Discovery Workshops we iron out not only the details of your product, but most importantly of your business and we then work on designing the product in a way that it realizes your business mission and value proposition.

Do I pay for holidays and vacation?

No, you don’t pay for any kind of leave - sick leave, vacation or national holidays. You pay only for the days that the team member worked.

Do you provide a test period?

Yes, we provide a 1 week test period. If you don’t like the developer after this period and don’t want to work with him, you don’t pay anything.

Time difference arrow down icon

Where are the developers and the team based?

Our team and developers are based in our office in Poland. We do however provide a local Project Manager (located in Pacific Time zone) if needed.

What’s the time difference between Los Angeles and Poland?

The time difference between Los Angeles and Poland is 9 hours.

How do you handle the time difference?

Over the years, we have developed many effective ways to remove the impact of time difference on the cooperation quality.

First of all, we move our team’s working time to 12 pm PT. That usually gives 4 hours of direct communication window, which usually is more than enough.

We also organize the communication effectively by discussing & clearing all the potential blockers for the next few days during the communication window.

We also share the same Slack workspace and Jira board for direct and swift communication and real-time progress tracking.

Not to mention, we have carry on daily standups with your team and regular sprint planning & review calls every week.

Are you able to provide local Project Manager?

Yes! We are able to assign a Project Manager based in Pacific Time zone, in Seattle, WA.

Onboarding, termination arrow down icon

How does the onboarding process look?

We assign a dedicated Team Manager who leads the onboarding. He agrees with you on the communication channels (e.g. Slack, Teams, etc.), working hours, procedures and other things.

What assistance do you provide?

For Product Development, we assign the full team with Project Manager / Scrum Master as your main point of contact as well as Account Manager to make sure you have the best possible experience.

For Dedicated Development teams, you will be assigned a dedicated Team Manager for the entire period of cooperation to make sure the team is in place and has everything they need. He / She will also solve all the requests you will have.

What’s the termination period?

Termination period is as short as 2 weeks.

Can I reduce the team size during the cooperation?

Yes, without any problem. If you want to resign from some specific team member you just let us know and we drop him from the team within 2 weeks.
