Senior teams, no surprises.
Every build is fixed-scope and milestone-billed, staffed senior-only, and handed over with full source code, infrastructure and IP. You know what ships, when, and at what cost.
Fixed scope, fixed price
You know exactly what ships, by when, and at what cost before we start.
Start in days
Typical kickoff within 5 business days, often the same week.
Milestone billing
Pay in phases against working software, not upfront or by the hour.
You own everything
Source, infrastructure and IP handed over to your repos from day one.
A full platform. For a fraction of in-house.
A Synctrix Growth Pod builds your whole web or SaaS platform - architecture, design, engineering, QA and launch - for one fixed project price, handed over as yours. Building the same thing in-house or through a US agency costs multiples more before a line of code ships.

TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and when to pick them.
Large IT services firms are structured to deliver at scale across many clients. That structure has real advantages and real costs. Here is where the models diverge.
| Dimension | Large IT services firm | SyncTrix |
|---|---|---|
| Staffing model | Pyramid: a small number of senior architects over a large base of junior engineers. The ratio is what makes the commercial model work at scale. | Senior-only. Every pod has a lead architect and no junior padding. |
| Who you meet vs who builds | Pre-sales architects present; delivery is handed to a separate team once the contract signs. | The engineers in the first call are the engineers who write the code. |
| Minimum engagement | Large multi-year programmes. Mid-market budgets often fall below the threshold worth bidding for. | Single-product scopes upwards. A two-week discovery is a valid starting point. |
| Commercial shape | Rate cards per role, time-and-materials, change requests priced separately. | Fixed price scoped to the product, agreed before work starts. |
| Bench billing | Standard practice in the industry: allocated staff are billed whether or not they are productive that sprint. | You pay for the pod delivering your product, not for allocation. |
| Escalation path | Account manager, delivery manager, then engineering. Several layers. | Direct to the lead architect on your engagement. |
| Where the work happens | Global delivery centres across many countries, follow-the-sun handoffs. | India-based across Hyderabad, Pune and Bangalore, staffed for overlap with your hours. |
Every build, side by side.
The same senior bar across the board. Higher tiers add depth, leadership and managed delivery.

Senior engineers. Predictable delivery. Enterprise standards.
A boutique engineering partner built around the things enterprise teams actually need - and nothing they don't.
The risk is on us, not on you.
Transparent pricing only matters if it's backed by guarantees. Here's what we put in writing on every engagement.
Fixed-price-or-we-eat-it
Milestone-billed phases are fixed price. If we miss the date, we absorb the overrun until it ships - not you.
Clear scope, clean handover
A written SOW with defined deliverables and acceptance criteria. When it ships, it's yours - no lock-in, no multi-year traps.
You own everything, day one
Source code, infrastructure-as-code and IP land in your repositories from the first commit. No ransom.
No-swap team guarantee
The engineers you start with stay. Any swap (rare) gets a 2-week shadow and your written sign-off.
How we work with you.
Fixed price, fixed scope, senior engineers and weekly production demos - with all IP and code owned by you.
“SyncTrix replaced a 14-person agency with a 5-person squad and shipped twice as fast - at roughly half the cost. Production-grade from day one.”
“A fixed price and a clear scope made the board decision easy. Senior engineers, weekly demos, and every milestone mapped to shipped work.”
“We'd worked with a Tier-1 IT firm before - layers of juniors and account managers. SyncTrix gave us an all-senior squad and a fixed scope, so every invoice mapped to shipped work.”
The commercial fine print.
The questions every buyer asks before signing. If yours isn't here, just ask.
How do you price engagements?
Engagements are fixed-scope project builds, not hourly or monthly retainers. Every price is scoped to your specific product, so we quote it per engagement rather than list a rate card. Most clients start with a two-week Discovery Sprint (credited back into the build) to lock down scope and a firm price. From there we scope the work into a Launch Pod (MVPs), a Growth Pod (web/SaaS platforms) or an Enterprise Pod, build it end to end, and hand it over with full source code and IP. You know what ships, when, and at what cost before we start.
Are there hidden fees or bench billing?
Never. Each build is a fixed-scope project at a fixed price, billed against milestones. No hourly rates, no idle hours, no surprise change orders.
How long does a build take?
An MVP (Launch Pod) typically ships in 6-12 weeks; a full platform (Growth Pod) runs a few months across milestone phases. We frequently start with a short Discovery & Blueprint so both sides validate scope before committing.
What currencies and payment methods do you accept?
USD, EUR, GBP and INR via wire, ACH or SEPA. Enterprise clients can use net-15 or net-30 PO-based billing.
Can we start with a pilot?
Yes. We frequently begin with a 2-4 week Discovery & Blueprint pilot so both sides validate fit before a full build.
How do scope changes affect the price?
Lightweight changes are absorbed within milestone buffers. Anything larger gets a one-page change order with a new estimate before work begins.
How much does it cost to build a custom software product?
With SyncTrix it's a fixed project price scoped to what you're building, not a rate card - so we quote each engagement to your product. If you'd rather not commit up front, a two-week Discovery Sprint gets you a firm price first, and the fee comes off the build. As market context, the fully-loaded cost of building the same product with an in-house US team - once salary, benefits, overhead and recruiting are counted - is substantial: a single senior engineer via a vetted marketplace like Toptal alone runs $16,000-$32,000/mo.
Which pod should we start with?
Launch Pod is ideal for MVPs, proof of concepts and API builds. Growth Pod suits SaaS platforms, AI applications and scaling product teams. Enterprise Pod is built for transformation, platform modernization and multi-team delivery. If you're unsure, book a scoping call and we'll map your roadmap to the right pod.
