Everything about working with RapidStackLab, from first contact to post-launch.
01 ·Working with us
Working with us
How does RapidStackLab engage with new clients?
We start with a free strategy call to understand your goals, then move through our 5-step process: Discover, Design, Engineer, Scale, and Support.
What is your pricing model?
We offer fixed-price project engagements and dedicated team retainers. Pricing depends on scope, complexity, and timeline.
What technologies do you work with?
Our core stack includes React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, TypeScript, Flutter, and TensorFlow.
Who owns the code after the project?
You do. All source code, IP, and assets are fully transferred to you upon project completion.
How long does a typical project take?
MVPs typically take 6–12 weeks. Enterprise platforms range from 3–6 months depending on scope.
Do you provide post-launch support?
Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance retainers covering bug fixes, performance monitoring, and feature iterations.
Who will be working on my project?
Every engagement is staffed with a dedicated project lead, one or more senior engineers, and a QA specialist. You will have a single point of contact throughout the project. We do not offshore work to junior contractors — the team you meet in the discovery call is the team that builds your product.
How do you keep clients informed throughout the project?
We use a shared Slack channel for day-to-day communication, a Notion workspace for documentation and sprint planning, and a bi-weekly video call for sprint reviews and planning. You have full visibility into the backlog, progress, and blockers at all times. We believe radical transparency is the foundation of a successful partnership.

Before you reach out
