The small business case
Why small businesses go nearshore
Most nearshore companies sell developers by the hour to mid-size and enterprise teams that already have a technical manager. A small business usually needs something different: a defined result, a predictable price and someone accountable for delivering it. Nearshore development makes that affordable without giving up real-time collaboration.
A budget that fits a small company
Typical market figures put senior US developers at roughly US$125–250 per hour; nearshore rates are commonly 40–60% lower.
- Lower cost than hiring locally
- No recruiting, payroll or benefits
- Fixed scope instead of open-ended hours
Bilingual communication
Our team works in English and Spanish, which matters when your staff, customers or suppliers speak both.
- Meetings and documentation in English
- Spanish-language interfaces when you need them
- Fewer misunderstandings on requirements
One team instead of five freelancers
Design, development, hosting and maintenance come from the same company, so nobody hands the problem back to you.
- One point of contact
- One documented scope
- One agreement
A head start, not a blank page
We build on our own platform, already running operations for 35,000+ users, instead of writing everything from zero.
- Payments and subscriptions
- Online store and CRM
- Reporting and dashboards
Support after launch
Software is never finished on launch day. We host it, maintain it and add new features as your business grows.
- Hosting included in the monthly plan
- Documented defects fixed
- New features quoted as you need them
An honest comparison
In-house vs offshore vs nearshore
Every model can work. The right one depends on your budget, how much technical management you can do yourself and how fast you need answers. Rates below are typical market figures, not our prices.
In-house hire
Full control and a person in your office, at the highest cost and with the most management work.
- Cost: a US senior hire often runs US$165,000+ a year fully loaded
- Time zone: yours
- Risk: one person, one point of failure
- Best for: companies with ongoing, full-time technical work
Offshore (Asia, Eastern Europe)
The lowest hourly rates, with the largest time-zone gap and more coordination on your side.
- Cost: commonly US$20–50 per hour
- Time zone: often 7–12+ hours away
- Risk: slow feedback loops and foreign contracts
- Best for: teams that already manage developers well
Nearshore staff augmentation
Latin American developers rented by the hour, usually sold to companies with their own technical leadership.
- Cost: commonly US$40–90 per hour
- Time zone: 0–3 hours from the US
- Risk: you still manage scope, quality and delivery
- Best for: mid-size teams adding capacity
Where Disruptive Studio fits
How working with a US company + nearshore team works
We combine the parts of each model that matter to a small business: nearshore cost and time zones, with a US company responsible for the result. You do not manage developers—you approve a scope, review progress and use the software.

Contract with a US companyYou sign with Disruptive Studio, a US company in Goodyear,
Arizona—not with an overseas entity or individual freelancers.
Ownership in writingWhat is yours is defined in the agreement before work starts, and
the code of your project is available on request.
Payments in US dollarsPricing is quoted in US$: an initial project fee plus a monthly
platform fee. No foreign currency or wire surprises.
Communication in your time zoneCalls, reviews and support happen during US business hours, in
English or Spanish.
Fixed, documented scopeThe technical scope defines what will be built and becomes final, so
the price is known before development begins.
One accountable teamThe same company designs, builds, hosts and maintains your
software.
What a typical engagement looks like
Four steps, from first call to running software.
You can bring a technical document, or work with our team to document the project before development begins. Either way, nothing is built until the scope is clear.
Understand
A call to map your users, goals, rules, integrations and budget.
Document
The technical scope defines what will be built and the exact price.
Build
Design and engineering move together, with reviews you can join during your day.
Operate & evolve
We host and maintain the software. New features are quoted as the business grows.
Transparent pricing
What it costs
Projects start at US$3,000 because we do not start from a blank page: payments, subscriptions, online store, CRM and reporting already run on our platform for 35,000+ users. Your budget goes into what makes your business different. The exact price depends on the documented scope, and it is set before development starts.
After launch, a monthly platform fee from US$597 covers hosting and maintenance. New requirements are quoted separately, so you only pay for growth when you choose it.

Before we talk
Direct answers.
What is nearshore software development?
It means working with a development team in a nearby region—for US companies, usually Latin America—that shares or nearly shares your time zone. You get lower costs than hiring locally, with real-time communication that offshore teams many hours away cannot offer.
Is nearshore development only for large companies?
No. Most nearshore firms sell hourly developers to mid-size and enterprise teams, but we work on fixed-scope projects for small businesses and startups, starting at US$3,000.
Who do I sign the contract with?
With Disruptive Studio, a US company based in Goodyear, Arizona. The agreement, the scope and the pricing are in English and in US dollars, and ownership terms are written down before work starts.
Do I own the code?
What you own is defined in the agreement before development begins, and the code of your project is available on request.
How much does a project cost?
Projects start at US$3,000, and the exact price depends on the documented scope. After launch, the monthly platform starts at US$597 and includes hosting and maintenance. New requirements are quoted separately.
Will the team work during my business hours?
Yes. Our bilingual team works in US time zones, so calls, reviews and support happen during your working day, in English or Spanish.
How long does development take?
It depends on the documented scope. A focused tool and a multi-department platform do not have the same timeline; the schedule is defined together with the scope.
What happens after launch?
We host and maintain your software. If documented functionality fails, we fix it. New features are quoted as your business grows. Questions first? Contact us.
