Software Development Company in Berlin
The best Software Development Company in Berlin, at the best available price.
You need engineering capacity that does not come with account managers, project managers and three juniors learning on your budget. One fixed monthly cost, senior people, any stack, and the person who takes your call is the person who writes the code.
Berlin is Germany's startup capital: venture-backed companies in fintech, e-commerce, mobility and consumer apps work in English, hire internationally and move faster than the rest of the German market. It is also the seat of the federal government, so a second, slower market of ministries, agencies and their contractors sits alongside the startups. Startups here buy on speed and founder trust, while public-sector buyers buy through formal tenders.
Berlin's English-speaking startups compete for the same senior engineers, and notice periods in Germany can be long. A dedicated senior engineer working in your repository fills the gap while you hire, with documentation and handover built in.
What you get
- Senior engineers only, on a fixed monthly cost with unlimited feature development rather than hourly billing
- Full stack: web, mobile, backend, data and the cloud infrastructure underneath it
- Your repositories, your cloud accounts, your credentials, throughout the engagement and after it
- Works alongside an existing integrator or in-house team rather than requiring you to displace either
- Month to month, because a team you cannot leave is just an expensive hire
Nothing payable upfront on project work: you pay per checkpoint, after you have seen it and accepted it. Retainers are month to month with no long lock-in. Scope and price are settled on a call.
Invoiced in USD or EUR, payable by Wise or bank transfer.

You speak to the engineer who does the work. No sales rep, no deck.
Who builds here
AI Product & MVP Development
The typical Berlin buyer is a funded founder with a small English-speaking team who needs a working product before the next round, and who can decide in a week rather than run a tender.
What Berlin companies build with us
Get it built at $0.
That is not a discount. It is when you pay. The work is split into checkpoints with acceptance criteria written down before anything starts, and each checkpoint is invoiced only after you have seen it and accepted it. No deposit.
- $0 to start
- You hold every dollar until a checkpoint is delivered and you accept it. No approval, no invoice.
- Fixed cost, unlimited features
- Or hire the team outright: one fixed monthly cost, unlimited feature development, any stack.
- The engineer takes your call
- The person on your first call is the one who architects and writes it. No account managers, no bench time.
A US agency quotes $50,000 to $150,000 for the same build and asks for 40 to 50% of it before a line is written. Account managers, project managers, sales commission and bench time. None of it appears in your product.
Three stages, nothing hidden.
Twenty-minute call
We work out what capacity you actually need. Plenty of teams need one strong engineer for six weeks rather than an ongoing arrangement, and you will be told if that is your situation.
First month, scoped
A defined block of work with acceptance criteria written down before it starts, so you can judge the arrangement on delivered software rather than on a pitch.
Ongoing, month to month
A fixed monthly cost, direct access over Slack or WhatsApp, and no lock-in. You leave with the code, the documentation and the infrastructure, all of it already yours.
What actually applies here.
Regulation and data
GDPR applies alongside Germany's Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and private companies in Berlin are supervised by the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information. Where a company has a works council, any tool capable of monitoring employees' behaviour or performance needs its agreement under Section 87(1) no. 6 of the Works Constitution Act, which often includes AI assistants that log usage. Digital health apps seeking reimbursement go through the BfArM's DiGA process. Germany's NIS2 implementation act has applied since December 2025, and the federal AI market surveillance law of July 2026 makes the Bundesnetzagentur the main AI Act authority. The EU AI Act has been in force since August 2024: general-purpose model rules applied from August 2025 and transparency duties from August 2026, while the 2026 Digital Omnibus moved the main high-risk obligations to December 2027 for stand-alone systems such as hiring or credit scoring, and August 2028 for AI built into regulated products.
Contracting and payment
You contract with an individual consultant based in India. Invoices in EUR or USD, paid by Wise or bank transfer. Your accountant handles an overseas supplier in the usual way, and any documentation they need is provided before access is granted.
Working hours
Four or more hours of daily overlap across your morning, Central European time, with same-day replies on working days.
Can you work with a Berlin startup that operates in English?
Yes. All work, documentation and calls are in English, which suits most Berlin startup teams. If a German public body or corporate customer needs material for their procurement, the technical documentation is written so your team can translate or adapt it.
Will our data stay in the EU?
Yes. Deployments go into an EU region of your own cloud account, such as Frankfurt, or onto your own hardware. The model, serving layer and logs stay inside that boundary, and access is named, limited and removed at handover.
How do working hours line up with Berlin?
Four or more hours of daily overlap across your morning, Central European time, with same-day replies on working days. The work is remote from India, so there are no in-person meetings, but reviews and demos happen on calls in your morning.
Do you have a local office here?
No. You contract with an individual consultant based in India, which is exactly why the cost is what it is. If your procurement requires a locally registered supplier, we work as a subcontractor to your local partner instead.
How is this different from hiring an agency?
An agency bills you for a team and staffs it with whoever is free. Here there is no bench, no account manager and no sales commission in the price, and the engineer on your first call is the one writing the code. The trade-off is honest: you get depth from one senior person rather than breadth from five.
Can you work with our existing team?
Yes, and that is the usual arrangement. We take the parts your team does not have depth in, in your repositories and against your standards, rather than carving out a separate project nobody else can maintain.
