Frequently asked questions

Speqto is an AI-first software development company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Noida, India, with offices in Surat, London, Sheridan (Wyoming) and Ho Chi Minh City. We design and build web and mobile products, AI systems, blockchain and Web3 platforms, fintech software and cloud infrastructure for startups, agencies and established businesses.

Contact us with a short description of your goals, timeline and any existing materials. We arrange a call with a senior engineer or consultant, discuss options and, if useful, propose a discovery phase to define scope and risks. An NDA can be signed before that first conversation if you prefer.

Yes. Many clients come to us with an idea or a prototype. We help define a lean MVP, choose a sensible architecture and ship quickly, while avoiding shortcuts that become expensive later. As traction grows, the same team can scale with you, or hand over to your in-house engineers.

Yes. Agencies and consultancies work with us on a white-label basis, adding engineering capacity without hiring. We follow your processes and branding, sign NDAs, and keep client relationships fully yours. It works well for overflow projects, specialist skills such as AI or blockchain, and ongoing maintenance.

About 30 minutes. You describe the product and goals, we ask about users, data, deadlines and constraints, and afterwards we send a short written summary with suggested next steps.

Pricing follows scope, team composition and duration, not a fixed rate card. A dedicated team is usually billed on a monthly basis, while defined projects are quoted after a discovery or scoping phase. Estimates are tied to priorities, so you can see what changes cost before you approve them.

It varies widely with scope and integrations. A focused MVP often takes a few months, whereas regulated platforms, complex integrations or large migrations take longer. We break work into short iterations with weekly demos, so you see real progress early and can adjust priorities without waiting for a final delivery date.

We work as a dedicated team that extends your own, as a fixed-scope project for well-defined work, or as individual engineers added to your team through staff augmentation. We can also run a discovery phase first. The right model depends on how stable your requirements are and how much management capacity you have.

Dedicated teams are billed monthly. Fixed-scope projects are billed by milestone. Terms, currency and payment methods are set in the contract before work starts.

Yes. Tell us the skills, seniority and start date you need, and we usually share suitable profiles within about two business days. You can interview candidates, then work with them directly as part of your team. Engineers can be added or released with 30 days notice.

Speqto has more than 128 engineers, along with designers, QA specialists and project managers. That lets us staff most projects from existing teams, and scale up or down. We give 30 days notice when a team needs to change size, so you are never surprised by a sudden shift.

With offices in India, the UK, the USA and Vietnam, we can usually arrange a daily overlap with your working hours. We agree a communication rhythm up front: a daily check-in, a weekly demo and shared task boards. Written updates and recorded demos help when schedules do not line up.

Yes. You can start with a short paid trial, review the work and the working relationship, and continue only if the fit is right. If it is not, you stop and keep what was built.

We replace the engineer from our bench and handle the handover, so your sprint plan keeps moving. You are never left to restart a search on your own.

We build generative AI features, LLM-based assistants grounded in your data, AI agents, computer vision, recommendation systems and predictive models. We also use AI inside our own engineering workflow. Each project starts with a measurable use case and a small evaluated prototype before we invest in production hardening, monitoring and cost controls.

Yes, and it is a long-standing part of our work. We build smart contracts, dApps, tokens, wallets, exchanges, NFT platforms and enterprise blockchain solutions across chains such as Ethereum and Solana. Contracts are tested thoroughly, and we can arrange independent security review before anything is deployed with real funds.

We choose for your product, not for our preference. We weigh your team's skills, hiring market, performance needs, integrations, security requirements and long-term maintenance cost. Where options are close, we favor mature, widely supported tools, and we document the reasoning so you can revisit decisions later.

Quality work runs through the whole project: clear acceptance criteria, code review, automated unit and integration tests, continuous integration, and manual exploratory testing for user journeys. Weekly demos catch misunderstandings early, and we can add dedicated QA engineers, performance testing or test automation where risk is higher.

Yes. We begin with a short audit of the code, tests, infrastructure and backlog, then share a written plan that ranks what to fix first before any large work is quoted.

They do, for scaffolding, test generation and review support. A named engineer is accountable for every merge, and we follow your policy on tools and on what code may be shared with them.

We sign NDAs on request, before you share sensitive requirements. Full intellectual property assignment is part of our agreements, so the code, designs and documentation we produce for you belong to you. Access to repositories and environments stays under your accounts wherever possible, which keeps ownership clear from day one.

Security is part of design, not a final check. We apply least-privilege access, secrets management, dependency scanning, code review and secure defaults, and we can run security testing or audits as separate work. For regulated products we work with your compliance team on controls, evidence and documentation.

Yes. After launch we can provide maintenance, monitoring, bug fixes, security updates, performance tuning and continued feature development, either through the same team or a smaller support arrangement. A clean handover with documentation also lets your own team or another vendor take over whenever you choose.

We build software for fintech, healthcare, insurance, education, retail and eCommerce, logistics, manufacturing, media and streaming, travel, SaaS, legal, HR, automotive, real estate and energy. Industry knowledge matters mainly for regulation and workflows, so we involve your domain experts early and learn the specifics together.
