FAQ

What’s the difference between custom and off-the-shelf software development services?

Custom software development implies crafting a solution fully tailored to your business needs and existing software ecosystem. It comes with high upfront investments, but grants unlimited flexibility and scalability. Off-the-shelf software development relies on reusing ready-made components and platforms to meet your needs as best as they can.This option might be more cost-effective but only as long as the subscription pricing of the software you’re customizing remains reasonable.

How much does software development cost in 2025?

The cost of IT software development services varies based on the solution’s complexity and is calculated on a case-by-case basis. Here’re some benchmarks to contextualize yourself. While simple web applications take up around $20,000 to $50,000, the cost of enterprise-grade software may start at $200,000+. Vendor’s location also matters, as it impacts hourly rates. While you’ll pay $100 per hour to a software development services provider in the USA, a Poland-based tech partner will do the same job for $40-$70 per hour.

What types of contracts do you offer for outsourced software development?

Instinctools provides two types of contracts for software development services. With a fixed-price agreement, the project cost is agreed upon upfront and stays the same regardless of time spent. Payment terms may vary, but usually involve milestones or partial prepayment. With a time-and-materials model, you pay for the work done as the project goes. This way, it’s easier to readjust the budget and project scope midway. 

Can I scale my development team during the project?

Of course, at *instinctools, you can adjust team composition at any moment. Quick, hitch-free scaling of your extended team up and down on demand is the whole point of software development outsourcing.

What security measures do you implement in software development projects?

A basic set of security practices for our full-cycle software development services includes a secure infrastructure and role‑based access controls, secure coding practices, data encryption, and a robust system for intellectual property protection. If you resort to the offshore development center, we also provide a closed physical perimeter with a security frame and an on-site guard, limited access to the internet, and mandatory audio and video surveillance within the office space.
