How OctaVertex compares to other options
Founders compare us against hiring unpredictable $15/hr freelancers or paying $50,000+ to bloated Western dev shops. Here is how we differ.
| Evaluation criteria | OctaVertex Media | $15–$50/hr Freelancers | Boutique US/UK Agencies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing Structure | Fixed price per agreed scope ($2k, $4k, $5.5k) | Unpredictable hourly ($15–$50/hr runaway) | High hourly retainers ($150–$250/hr, $50k+) |
| Calendar Timeline | 14 to 21 business days to launch | Unknown; prone to ghosting & drift | 3 to 6 months of corporate sprint meetings |
| Seniority & Team | Senior engineers only (no juniors training on you) | Solo developer; zero fallback if unavailable | Senior sales pitch, junior offshore delivery |
| Code & IP Ownership | 100% code ownership in your repos from Day 1 | Messy git commits; risk of unvetted dependencies | Contractual proprietary vendor lock-in |
| US & EU Time Overlap | 4–6 live overlap hours + daily async Loom demos | Opposite time zone with delayed replies | Local time, but slower delivery cycles |
| Post-Launch Warranty | 30-day zero-cost bug fix warranty included | Gone to the next client once paid | Expensive maintenance retainer required |
What every client package guarantees
Standard operating principles included with every engagement, regardless of tier.
100% IP & Code Handover
Commits go straight to your GitHub organization. You own the repository, cloud configurations, credentials, and documentation with zero vendor lock-in.
US & EU Timezone Overlap
4 to 6 live working hours daily matching North American (EST/PST) and European (GMT/CET) schedules, with daily async Loom updates.
30-Day Post-Launch Warranty
Any deviation from the agreed specification or bug discovered within 30 days of launch is patched immediately at zero extra charge.
Frequently asked pricing questions
Common questions founders ask before locking in an MVP scope.
Why do you use fixed pricing instead of hourly billing?
Hourly billing misaligns incentives: slower developers earn more, and founders absorb all financial risk. With our fixed-scope packages, we commit to deliverables, timelines, and budgets upfront in writing before writing a single line of code.
What happens if our product scope changes mid-sprint?
We freeze your core MVP scope upfront to protect your 21-day launch deadline. If you want new features during the build, we document them in an immediate delta quote or schedule them for a fast post-launch sprint.
Do founders receive full code ownership?
Yes, 100%. We push commits directly to your GitHub repository from day one. You own all intellectual property, database schemas, deployment pipelines, design files, and API credentials. Zero platform lock-in.
How do you coordinate with US and European clients across time zones?
Our team provides 4 to 6 hours of live daily working overlap with North American (EST/PST) and European (GMT/CET) time zones. We pair this with daily async Loom walk-throughs and a direct shared Slack or WhatsApp channel.
What stack do you use to build our SaaS?
We build with production-grade modern stacks: Next.js (TypeScript) on the frontend, PostgreSQL / Supabase for databases, Node.js or Django REST on the backend, React Native for mobile, and Stripe for payments.
What is included in the 30-day warranty?
For 30 days after production cutover, our engineers resolve any deviation from your agreed specification or unexpected bugs at zero cost. We also provide documentation and deployment handover runbooks.
