ScalaCode acts as an extended engineering arm for software product companies and development agencies. We provide dedicated developers, white-label delivery, and on-demand capacity that plug directly into your roadmap, stack, and timelines. Since 2011, our India-based engineers have shipped over 3,000 projects, delivering reliable scale at $13 to $25 an hour.
Vetted developers who work inside your process and ship to your standards, not ours.
Built specifically for agencies. We engineer entirely under your brand and stay completely behind the scenes.
Add engineers when your pipeline fills, scale down when it thins. No hiring lag.
Senior engineering at $13 to $25 an hour. For agencies, that gap is your margin.
The engineers who learn your codebase stay on it. No rotating cast each quarter.
Clear IP assignment, NDAs as standard, and access controls built in from day one.

You own the product and the roadmap. Whether you need to build new features, clear a stubborn backlog, modernize an aging codebase, or launch an entirely new module, you need engineering capacity, without the high cost and lag of full-time hiring. We bridge that gap with vetted developers who step right into your existing workflow and ship code to your exact standards.
You own the client relationship, and it stays that way. When you need a dependable delivery team behind your brand to handle overflow, fill skill gaps, or take on full white-label builds, we step in. The work ships entirely under your name, on your timeline, and through your QA gates. Your clients never know we exist, and that is exactly the point.
One thing worth saying up front: offshore isn’t a fit for every team. If your work needs a developer in your timezone for live pairing all day, the overlap we run (4 to 5 hours most days) will feel tight. For roadmap delivery, backlog, and module ownership, that overlap is plenty, and the cost difference is hard to argue with. We’ll tell you honestly if your case is the exception.
There’s no single model. We pick the one that fits how you actually work.
| Model | Best for | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated team | ISVs scaling a product over months | A fixed squad (developers, QA, lead) that works only on your product and learns it deeply. Monthly per-engineer pricing. |
| Staff augmentation | Filling specific skill gaps fast | Individual engineers who join your existing team and report into your leads. Hourly or monthly. |
| White-label delivery | Agencies reselling development | We build under your brand, communicate through you, and stay out of the client relationship. NDA-backed. |
| Project-based build | A defined scope with a clear end | We own a module or product from spec to ship, with milestones and a fixed or capped budget. |
Our partners ship across the full stack. Common work includes:
We work in your stack, not ours. Our engineers cover the common languages and frameworks (JavaScript and TypeScript, Python, Java, PHP, .NET, React, Node, Flutter, React Native, and more) and join your repos, your CI, and your ticketing. You shouldn’t have to bend your process around a vendor.
A partnership only works if the handoffs are clean. Here’s the rhythm.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Scope and fit | We map your product, stack, and gap, then propose the engagement model and team shape that fits. |
| 2. Team match | You review and approve the engineers. They join your tools, repos, and standups. |
| 3. Ramp | The team learns your codebase and ships small first, so you see quality before you scale. |
| 4. Steady delivery | Sprints run on your cadence with your QA gate. You get the same team, not a rotating cast. |
| 5. Scale on demand | Add or reduce engineers as your roadmap and pipeline change, with notice that respects both sides. |
| Factor | In-house hire | Generalist outsourcer | ScalaCode partner model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per senior engineer | High (salary + overhead) | Variable, often opaque | $13-25/hr, transparent |
| Time to start | Weeks to months | Days to weeks | Days |
| Flexibility to scale | Low | Medium | High |
| White-label / stays behind your brand | N/A | Rarely | Yes |
| Same team over time | Yes | Often no | Yes |
Yes. On white-label projects, we operate entirely behind your brand. We never contact your clients, brand the deliverables, or pitch around you. Everything ships under your name and is backed by a strict NDA.
You do. IP assignment is written directly into our contract, ensuring the code and product belong entirely to you or your client. We sign standard NDAs and set up strict access controls from day one to protect your data.
Usually within a few days. Once we agree on the scope and you approve the engineers, they can jump right in. Because our team comes from our existing, vetted bench, you don’t have to deal with hiring delays.
Yes. You can add engineers when your pipeline fills and scale down when it thins, given reasonable notice. This keeps you from carrying bench costs or hiring overhead on your end.
Our hourly rates range from $13 to $25 depending on seniority. For dedicated models, it ranges from $1,200 to $4,000 a month per engineer. Check out our rate card for the full breakdown.
The exact same team. Continuity is everything in a partnership. The engineers who learn your codebase stay on it, preserving deep project context so you don’t have to re-onboard new people every quarter.
Yes. Our engineers plug directly into your repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and ticketing systems. We work within your existing languages and frameworks, adapting to your process rather than forcing you into ours.
We handle everything from new features and MVPs to backend/API development, frontend, mobile, legacy modernization, integrating AI features, and QA or release support across most common languages and frameworks.
