AI-ASSISTED DEVELOPMENT

We Build With AI-Assisted Development

We use AI code generation, automated testing, and rapid prototyping to reduce development effort and accelerate delivery, without compromising code quality or QA rigor. Same rigorous code reviews, same QA standards.

30-40% Cost Savings

Less manual effort across coding, testing, and documentation lowers the build cost.

30-50% Faster Delivery

AI-accelerated prototyping and testing compress timelines so you ship sooner.

AI-Assisted, Done Responsibly

We capture the speed and cost upside while protecting what matters most to you.

Security-First

Every AI-generated line passes the same security review and SAST scans as hand-written code, so model-borne vulnerabilities never reach production.

Data Privacy & Confidentiality

We use private, enterprise AI only. Your code, data, and prompts are never used to train public models, and an NDA is in place from day one.

Your Idea & IP, Protected

You own 100% of the code with documented human authorship, so your IP is legally defensible and your concept stays confidential.

Senior Human Oversight

Every AI output is reviewed, refactored, and approved by senior engineers. No blind, auto-generated vibe-coding.

Production-Grade Quality

Same architecture standards, code reviews, and QA as traditional development. Built to maintain, not just to ship.

License-Clean & Compliant

AI output is screened for copyright and license contamination, and HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and PCI controls are upheld regardless of AI use.

HOW OUR PRICING WORKS

Engagement Models That Fit Your Project

Software development pricing models shape your cost as much as the feature list does. Here are the four ways teams work with SolGuruz and where each one fits best.

Fixed Price

Fixed Price

Defined scope, fixed budget and timeline. Best for well-specified MVPs and projects where requirements are clear up front.

Time & Material

Time & Material

Pay for actual effort as scope evolves. Best for long-term, changing products where priorities shift sprint to sprint.

Dedicated Development Team

Dedicated Development Team

A full, dedicated SolGuruz team that scales with you. Best for ongoing product development that needs consistent velocity.

Staff Augmentation / Team Extension

Staff Augmentation / Team Extension

Add vetted engineers to your existing team with our staff augmentation services. Best when you have a team in place and need extra capacity fast.

COST FACTORS

What Drives Your Project Cost

Every estimate comes down to a handful of variables. Understanding them helps you scope smarter and budget with confidence.

Scope & Features

Scope & Features

The number and complexity of features is the single biggest cost driver. A focused MVP costs a fraction of a full-featured platform.

Design Complexity

Design Complexity

Standard UI patterns are quick to build. Custom design systems, rich animations, and bespoke dashboards add design and front-end effort.

Integrations

Integrations

Each connection to an external system (payments, ERP, EHR, maps, messaging) means API work, data mapping, error handling, and testing.

Platforms (Web / Mobile / Desktop)

Platforms (Web / Mobile / Desktop)

A responsive web app is the most cost-effective start. Cross-platform mobile adds effort, and native iOS, Android, or desktop builds add more.

Compliance & Security

Compliance & Security

Regulated domains like healthcare (HIPAA) and fintech (PCI DSS, SOC 2) need extra security architecture, audit trails, and certification work.

Team & Engagement Model

Team & Engagement Model

Team size, seniority mix, location, and whether you go fixed-price, time and material, or dedicated team all change the final number.
