Your offshore product team, run like an in-house one
Tooltar designs and builds web apps, mobile apps and AI automation for US companies. Tell us what you need and an engineer — not a salesperson — replies with real questions and a written estimate.
- Senior engineers, no juniors billed as seniors
- Working software demoed every two weeks
- You own the code, the repo and the accounts
Free, no obligation · NDA on request · Typical reply within 1 business day
- 1You describe the problemA spec, a paragraph, or a screenshot of a competitor.
- 2An engineer reads itYou get real technical questions, not a brochure.
- 3You get a written estimateBroken down by module, so you can cut scope with evidence.
If the estimate does not work for you, the scope document is yours to keep and take elsewhere.
One team for the whole product
Design, build, ship and grow — without stitching together four different vendors who each blame the others when something breaks.
Not sure which you need?
Describe the business problem instead of the solution. We will tell you what it actually takes — even when the honest answer is that you do not need custom software at all.
The offshore concerns, answered up front
You have probably been burned before, or heard from someone who was. Here is exactly how we work so you can judge before you commit.
Real overlap with your workday
Our team works a shifted schedule so you get live conversation during your morning, not a 12-hour round trip on every question. Standups are also written down, so nothing depends on catching someone online.
You own everything from day one
Code lands in your Git organization, deployments run in your cloud accounts, and app stores stay under your company. IP assignment is in the contract, so changing vendors later never costs you the product.
Working software every two weeks
Every sprint ends with a deployed staging build and a demo. You never have to take progress on faith or wait until the end to discover it was built wrong.
The people you meet are the people who build it
No bait-and-switch between the pitch and the project. You are introduced to the actual engineers, and we do not swap them out mid-project without telling you.
NDA and security first
NDA signed before you share anything confidential. Least-privilege access, secrets kept out of source control, dependency audits on every release, and a documented offboarding when we finish.
An honest exit
Documentation, runbooks and a handover session are part of delivery, not an upsell. If your in-house team is ready to take over, we help you make that transition cleanly.
A process with no black boxes
Every step ends with something you can see, click or read — not a status update saying things are going well.

Work with us the way that fits your budget
Fixed price when the scope is clear, a dedicated team when it is not, and hourly when you just need capacity.
Fixed scope, fixed price
Well-defined projects with a clear finish line
We scope the work in detail up front and commit to a price and a date. Best when you know what you want built and need budget certainty to get it approved.
- Written scope with per-module estimates
- Fixed price and delivery date
- Milestone-based payments
- Change requests priced before they are started
- 30 days of post-launch bug fixes included
- Billing
- Milestone payments
- Minimum
- Project-based
Dedicated team
Ongoing product work where scope evolves
A named team works only on your product, effectively as your remote engineering department. You direct priorities sprint by sprint without renegotiating a contract each time.
- Named engineers, designers and QA — no silent substitutions
- You set sprint priorities
- Direct Slack access to every team member
- Monthly rolling contract
- Scale the team up or down with 30 days' notice
- Billing
- Monthly per person
- Minimum
- 3 months
Time & materials
Support, maintenance and unpredictable work
Hourly billing against a monthly cap you set. Best for maintaining an existing system, working through a backlog, or handling work you cannot estimate in advance.
- Billed in 15-minute increments
- Monthly hour cap you control
- Itemized timesheet with every invoice
- No minimum monthly usage
- Defined response times for production issues
- Billing
- Hourly, invoiced monthly
- Minimum
- None
Domains we have built in
We learn your domain properly before we design around it — the constraints are usually where the real product decisions live.
SaaS & startups
MVPs, multi-tenant platforms and the unglamorous billing, onboarding and admin work that comes after product-market fit.
Healthcare
Patient portals, scheduling and clinical tooling built with HIPAA-aware access control, audit logging and data handling.
Fintech
Payments, lending workflows, reconciliation and reporting where correctness and an audit trail matter more than novelty.
E-commerce & retail
Headless storefronts, inventory and order systems, and integrations with the ERP and fulfilment tools you already run.
Logistics & field services
Dispatch, tracking and mobile apps for crews who work offline and need the data to sync correctly when they reconnect.
Education
Learning platforms, assessments and cohort tooling built to survive the traffic spike on the first day of term.
Real estate
Listing platforms, CRM integrations, document workflows and portals for agents, buyers and property managers.
Professional services
Internal tools that replace the spreadsheet a whole department secretly depends on, without disrupting how they work.
Try our engineering before you hire it
We build and maintain a set of genuinely free browser tools — no signup, no uploads, everything processed on your own device. It is the same standard of work we bring to client projects.
What US clients ask us first
How do we start working together?
Send your requirement through the form — a detailed spec, a rough paragraph, or a link to something similar all work. You get a reply from an engineer within one business day, then a 45-minute scoping call, then a written estimate broken down by module. There is no obligation at any of those steps.
What if I don't know exactly what I need yet?
That is normal and it is not a problem. Describe the business problem instead of the solution and we will help shape the scope. For larger unknowns we run a short paid discovery that produces a specification and an estimate you own — usable even if you take it to a different vendor.
How do you handle confidentiality?
We sign your NDA before you share anything sensitive, or provide ours if you prefer. Access follows least privilege, credentials never live in source control, and every account we were given is revoked at the end of the engagement.
How do payments work for US clients?
We invoice in USD and accept ACH, wire and card. Fixed-scope projects are billed against milestones; dedicated teams and retainers are invoiced monthly. Payment terms are net 15 by default.
What does communication look like day to day?
A shared Slack channel with your team, a written standup every working day, and a live demo at the end of each two-week sprint. Tickets live in your project tracker, so you can see status without asking anyone.
Who owns the code and the intellectual property?
You do, in full. Work is committed to your repository from the first sprint and IP assignment is written into the contract — you are never dependent on us to keep running what we built.
What if we need to stop or pause the project?
Dedicated team engagements can be paused or ended with 30 days' notice, and time-and-materials work has no minimum at all. Whenever you stop, you receive the handover documentation. We would rather you leave cleanly than feel trapped.
Do you work with existing in-house teams?
Frequently. We join your rituals, your repository and your review process rather than running a separate parallel project. A common split is that your team owns domain logic while we add capacity on a specific surface.
Tell us what you need built
Send your requirement and an engineer replies with real questions and a written estimate — no discovery-call gatekeeping first.
