A simpler delivery model

Your priorities change. Keep one engineering team in the loop.

Instead of procuring every project separately, your organisation maintains one governed queue. You decide what matters next; the team stays accountable for delivering it well.

What “unlimited projects” means

You may add and reprioritise as many projects within the agreed scope as your organisation needs. The team completes work sequentially; adding an item does not mean it starts immediately.

Continuous project engine

Approved project types move through one accountable team.

Straightforward pricing

The same capability. A better rate for a longer commitment.

Every plan includes a dynamic team of 2–4 engineers sized to workload, project coordination, written daily updates and an unlimited queue for project types agreed in writing.

Prefer to evaluate the working model first?

Book a one-day working evaluation for $100 USD, taxes included. We review your brief, discuss feasibility and show how we would approach it. The fee is credited to your first month if you continue; no production deliverables are transferred during the evaluation.

Book an evaluation
Cancellation terms: The one-month plan is non-cancellable and ends after one month. For three- and six-month plans, the cancellation charge covers time consumed at the $2,000 USD base monthly rate, with a $2,000 USD minimum. Any prepaid remainder after that charge is refunded.

Included engineering scope

One queue for agreed web, mobile, embedded or machine-learning work.

Discuss your roadmap and agree the project types and boundaries together. Once recorded in the agreement, the team can take on new delivery, existing-system changes, maintenance, security work or modernisation within that scope.

01

Web and platform engineering

Project examples include new product work, integrations, maintenance, security improvements and modernisation.

02

Mobile engineering

Project examples include app features, platform updates, release work and application maintenance.

03

Embedded engineering

Project examples include firmware, device integration, diagnostics, updates and connected-system software.

04

Machine-learning models

Potential work includes data preparation, machine-learning and reinforcement-learning model development, evaluation, deployment and monitoring.

Excluded from this plan

Large-scale AI, specialist and physical engineering are quoted separately.

  • Large language model (LLM) and foundation-model training or fine-tuning
  • Computer-vision, speech and multimodal model development
  • AI-enabled hardware and edge-AI device engineering
  • Dedicated GPU training infrastructure and compute costs
  • Large-scale dataset collection and labelling
  • Game development
  • Robotics, mechanical design and physical product engineering
  • Hardware manufacturing, certification and on-site field installation

Why organisations use it

Built for an ongoing roadmap—not a sequence of purchase orders.

The commercial model removes repeated quoting and remobilisation while your organisation keeps control of what is delivered next.

Service standards

Visible delivery. Clear ownership. Predictable communication.

The team works eight hours per day on an IST schedule. Communication and escalation arrangements are agreed before work starts.

Visible delivery

A written progress update each working day, an agreed definition of done and continuous access to the source.

Clear accountability

One named project manager coordinates priorities, decisions, reporting and the assigned engineering team.

Commercial control

An NDA and written ownership or licence terms for custom deliverables, with no separate quotation for each item inside the agreed scope.

A clear working schedule

Eight working hours per day aligned to IST, with communication and escalation arrangements agreed before work starts.

How engagement begins

From roadmap to working delivery in four clear steps.

We discuss your project types and requirements first, record agreed scope in the agreement, then set the first priority before work begins.

  1. 01

    Share the roadmap

    Tell us what must be built, repaired or kept reliable. We confirm whether the retained model is the right fit.

  2. 02

    Set the first priority

    We agree requirements, acceptance criteria and a tentative timeline before engineering begins.

  3. 03

    Receive and review

    The team builds the agreed priority and sends a written progress update each working day.

  4. 04

    Move to what is next

    Approve the delivery, reprioritise the queue and continue without restarting procurement.

Ask the team
How much does a Software Engineering Team on Rent cost?

The one-month plan is $2,000 USD for one month, the three-month plan is $1,500 USD per month, and the six-month plan is $1,200 USD per month. Prices include all taxes. Each plan includes a dynamic team of typically 2–4 engineers, sized to workload. The one-day evaluation is $100 USD, also inclusive of taxes.

Do unlimited projects mean simultaneous delivery?

No. You may add as many in-scope projects as your organisation needs, but the team works through approved priorities sequentially. Before each project or task starts, we agree its requirements and tentative timeline based on scope and workload; adding a task does not mean it starts immediately. You may reprioritise the remaining work as your business needs change.

How large is the team, and what are the working hours?

The assigned team typically has 2–4 engineers, scaled to the workload. The team works 8 hours per day on an IST schedule. The specific skill mix and working arrangements are agreed before the engagement starts.

What happens during the $100 evaluation day?

The team reviews your brief, discusses feasibility and approach, and demonstrates how it would work on your project during a one-day evaluation window. It is not a production delivery, so no code, files, designs or deployment are transferred. The $100 USD fee, inclusive of taxes, is credited to the first month if you continue.

Can the team work on an existing application?

Yes. Existing web, mobile and embedded systems can be considered for review, maintenance, security patching, bug fixing, upgrades or new features. We confirm the specific system and work type with you and record it in the agreement before starting.

What is included in the monthly fee?

The fee includes the assigned software engineering team, project management, the prioritised delivery queue, written progress reporting, agreed support channels, source access, maintenance work and security patching. We discuss the project types you need and record the agreed types and boundaries in your agreement before work starts. There is no hourly billing or separate per-project quotation within the agreed plan scope.

What work sits outside this plan?

Machine-learning and reinforcement-learning model development can be included when agreed in your project scope. The following AI work is quoted separately: large language model and foundation-model training or fine-tuning, computer-vision, speech and multimodal models, AI-enabled hardware, dedicated GPU training infrastructure and large-scale data labelling. Game development, robotics, mechanical and physical product engineering, hardware manufacturing, certification and on-site field installation are also handled as separate engagements.

Who owns the code and intellectual property?

The signed statement of work sets ownership or licence rights for custom deliverables. Root Digit retains its pre-existing tools and materials, and you retain the materials and data you provide. An NDA is signed before work begins, and you keep access to the project repository and documentation throughout the engagement.

Can the engagement be cancelled?

The one-month plan is non-cancellable and ends after one month. For the three- and six-month plans, cancellation charges are calculated pro rata at the $2,000 USD base monthly rate, with a $2,000 USD minimum charge. Any prepaid remainder after that charge is refunded.
