Pick the model that fits how much control you want, how much your plans may change, and how you like to pay.
| What matters | Dedicated Team | Fixed Price | Hybrid Delivery | Offshore Center |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who manages the work | You set the sprints and tasks | Solvefy manages delivery milestones | Onshore tech lead with your input | You run it like your own office |
| Room to change plans | High, the backlog can shift anytime | Low, changes go through change requests | Medium, balanced milestones and backlog | Highest, a long-term engineering hub |
| How you pay | Predictable monthly rate per engineer | One agreed cost, paid by milestone | Blended rate for lead and team | Fixed monthly cost for team and facility |
| Best for | Growing products with an ongoing backlog | Clearly defined projects with fixed specs | Larger products that need local oversight | Long-term engineering centers |

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what most teams ask before they choose this model.
It mixes onshore and offshore work. A technical lead close to your time zone handles planning and communication, and an offshore team handles most of the building.
It gives you someone to talk to during your own working day and closer oversight of the work, while still keeping costs balanced by building with an offshore team.
A technical lead guides the plan, reviews the work and keeps the team in step with your goals. You stay in charge of priorities and decisions.
Yes. You can start with more onshore support while the project is taking shape and shift more work offshore as it matures, or the other way around.
Larger products with several teams, projects with strict review needs, and companies that want a local contact but need more engineering capacity than they can hire locally.
