Regardless of which pricing plan you prefer, we generally recommend starting with a one-week free trial. This allows you to select the core developer for your future team. Typically, the core developer is a senior developer. During the free trial, the core developer will have the opportunity to establish trust with you and demonstrate their skills.

After the free trial, depending on your needs, you can choose between a project-based or Agile pricing model to continue working with the core developer.

Over time, as the collaboration deepens, you can gradually add other necessary roles around the core developer. And the core developer’s contract can transition to annual models, which not only allows the core developer to become an integral part of your business workflow but also saves you 5% in costs. This enables them to accumulate valuable business knowledge and provide efficient, steady, and ever-improving software support.

In fact, most of our long-term clients build trust through this route and establish stable, ongoing partnerships with us.

Yes, by adopting our project-based model, clients can expect flexibility in their requirements. We understand that requirements may change over time, and our approach is designed to accommodate this.

  • Agile embraces change: Our project-based model uses Agile development, which is designed to embrace change. This flexibility allows us to adjust requirements as the project progresses, ensuring the final product meets the client’s evolving needs.

  • Project-based vs. Fixed Price: Unlike traditional fixed-price model, we provide an initial evaluation and quote. However, the project cost is based on actual work hours, allowing clients to adjust their requirements as needed during the project.

  • Flexibility in project evolution: The key benefit of this model is its flexibility. Clients can continuously refine and adapt their requirements, knowing that costs will be aligned with the actual work done. This approach allows us to provide the best outcomes, even as requirements shift over time.

“We started our application  with Shinetech about 2 years ago on the back of a locally developed prototype. If we had not decided to outsource our development to ShineTech and stayed with local New Zealand based developers we would not be in the position we are today with a feature rich and very stable product. We did a lot of due diligence before going with ShineTech so had a good idea of what they were like. What has been a very pleasant and encouraging surprise over and above their ability to capture our requirements really quickly and easily is their ability to offer really good advice and product suggestions that we may never have thought of. We definitely see ShineTech as a long term Partner for our product development.”
