Frequently Asked Questions
How much do you charge per developer?
Our developers' rates vary depending on factors such as their seniority, experience, certifications, and the technology stack. We offer competitive rates that reflect the expertise and quality of our talents; the average rate is $50-$90 per hour. For more specific prices, we encourage you to reach out to us directly or use our free cost calculator.
Are part-time engagements possible?
We offer full-time or part-time roles with different engagement levels (like just two or four hours per day or even per week are possible).
Do you provide a “You build it, you run it” mode?
Yes, we offer dedicated teams fully responsible for development, infrastructure setup and delivery.
How do you ensure that my intellectual property is protected?
Before discussing any project details, we will sign an NDA to protect your intellectual property. Our NDAs and MSAs comprehensively cover IP protection, and all IPs remain the rightful property of our clients. We also prioritize secure communication channels to prevent unauthorized third-party interference, and our ISO-certified security management system guarantees the safety of the data we access.
Who owns the code?
The code is in your sole ownership.
What SDLC models do you follow?
98% of our development projects are executed in Agile, with over 80% being Scrum or ScrumBut-based. Our team includes Scrum Masters and product owners certified by scrum.org and scrumalliance.org.
We mostly use Waterfall for small projects, projects requiring formal approvals (governmental projects and projects for big corporations), projects with strict compliance requirements, and projects where we can fully understand and agree on the exact functional and technical requirements before any coding is done.
In software support and evolution projects, we mostly follow Kanban.
Naturally, in many projects, we use a combination of approaches or switch from one to another depending on the project stage.
How do we keep track of the project’s progress?
We give you access to a secure project extranet so that everyone involved has the latest documentation and access to the prototype, a project backlog, a sprint schedule, and other information.
On a weekly basis, we hold status meetings. And a dedicated project manager is ready to answer any questions any time.

What systems do you use to track the progress of your delivery?
Azure DevOps, Atlassian Jira, Bitbucket, GitHub, Confluence, InVision, Trello, Asana, and others.

How We Work at Every Stage of Software Development Projects
1
Planning
At the initial stage of our collaboration, we start by diving deep into your business requirements, current processes, hindrances, aspirations, and vision for the ideal software. Then, we take the following steps in scoping the project:
- Devise a solution that fits your needs.
- Develop a detailed project plan.
- Prepare a risk mitigation strategy.
- Provide an estimate of the time and budget required.
- Agree on key performance indicators to measure the project progress and software quality.
However, if you already have a software requirements specification and a project plan, we can move straight to the next stage.
2
Our solution architects design a high-performing, reliable, secure, and scalable software architecture.
Our UX researchers analyze the target audience, their behavior and needs, and create wireframes that demonstrate the layout and functionality.
Our UI designers create UI kits and full-color graphic interface mockups.
If you have all of this ready, we can skip this stage.
3
PoC & dynamic prototype delivery (optional)
We can create a dynamic prototype of the future application to demonstrate it to stakeholders and future users.
To test the idea, verify tech assumptions, and de-risk further investments, we can deliver a proof of concept — a simplified version of the future software or its part.
4
DevOps implementation
We establish infrastructure as code (IaC), design and implement the containerization process, and set up CI/CD pipelines. All this is to ensure frequent and successful deployments: up to several times a day, with the change failure rate <5%.
5
MVP development, testing, and deployment (optional)
To efficiently gauge user satisfaction with the software and make necessary modifications, we can begin with an MVP (minimum viable product) — an initial version of the app that includes only essential features.
6
Full-scale software development, testing, and deployment
Our back-end developers build the server-side and APIs of the new software, as well as integrate the latter with other application back ends if necessary. Meanwhile, front-end developers convert static interface images provided by UI designers into a fully functional client side and ensure seamless communication with the server. The development team conducts regular unit testing and code reviews, such as ad hoc reviews, pair programming, and walkthroughs.
Concurrently, our QA engineers thoroughly validate every aspect of the new software, including functionality, integrations, performance, usability, and security. They employ both automated and manual tests.
7
24/7 monitoring, support, and evolution (on demand)
Once the software or its components are implemented in the production environment, we can provide ongoing maintenance, support, and upgrades to ensure it aligns with your evolving business requirements.

Outsourcing to ScienceSoft vs. Hiring In-House Developers or Freelancers
|
|
It typically takes 8–10 months to build a mature team of five developers, but ScienceSoft can provide such a team (and even a larger one) within a week. |
|
|
In-house hiring involves legal employment and payroll taxes, whereas outsourcing to ScienceSoft implies only paying us based on an hourly rate under a T&M model. |
|
|
Hiring freelancers requires reviewing unvetted CVs, managing separate pays, and handling distributed team coordination and management, with no guarantee of data confidentiality, adherence to schedule, and software quality. With ScienceSoft, we take full responsibility for team arrangement and management, the quality of project deliverables, and related risk management. |
|
|
Employing developers in-house usually entails long-term obligations. With ScienceSoft, you get the required service contract period with the possibility of an easy opt-out with a one-month notice. |
