Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

How does your pricing compare to other agencies?

Straightforward: you get enterprise-caliber engineering without the enterprise price tag.

Most agencies carry layers of overhead—account managers, project coordinators, offshore handoffs. You're paying for their org chart, not your software. We operate lean. Senior engineers work directly on your project. No bloated teams. No markup on markup.

The result? Competitive rates that larger agencies simply can't match, backed by 20+ years of experience delivering for government, manufacturing, and financial services clients.

What pricing models do you offer?

We adapt to what makes sense for your project:

Hourly - Best for ongoing work, consulting, or evolving scope
Project-Based - Fixed price for well-defined deliverables
Retainer - Monthly arrangement for continuous development or fractional CTO support

Every engagement starts with a free discovery call and free estimate. No pressure, no obligation—just an honest conversation about what you need and what it takes to get there.

Is there a minimum project size?

No. We solve problems large and small.

Need a quick API integration? A full SaaS platform? A legacy system rescued? We're ready to help regardless of project size. Every business problem is worth solving well.

Why should I choose Molitio over a larger agency?

Three reasons:

Speed. No layers of approval. No waiting for "resources to become available." We move fast because we're built to move fast.

Direct access. You work directly with senior engineers who've led teams of 15+ and built platforms serving 275+ organizations. Not junior developers learning on your dime.

Value. Our overhead is low, so your investment goes into actual engineering—not fancy offices or account management layers. Enterprise experience, startup efficiency.

How does a project get started?

Simple:

Free Discovery Call - We learn about your business, challenges, and goals. No sales pitch.
Free Estimate - If there's a fit, we scope the work and provide a clear estimate at no cost.
Buy-In & Kickoff - Once aligned, we schedule a kickoff—on-site when it adds value—to meet your team, understand your processes, and finalize requirements.
Build - User stories, iterative development, regular demos, your feedback shaping the product.
Launch - User acceptance testing, deployment, and training.

How involved will I be during development?

As involved as you want to be.

At minimum, you'll see regular demos of working software and have the opportunity to provide feedback that shapes the next iteration. We don't disappear for months and emerge with something you didn't ask for.

Most clients appreciate weekly check-ins and access to a shared project dashboard. We adapt to your communication preferences.

Will you travel for on-site meetings?

Absolutely. We travel for project kickoffs, training sessions, and key milestones when face-to-face matters.

How quickly can you start?

Usually within 1-2 weeks of signed agreement.

We keep our client roster intentional so we can move fast when you need us. No months-long queues or "we'll get back to you next quarter." If your timeline is urgent, let's talk.

Frontend: React, Angular, Blazor, TypeScript, JavaScript, jQuery
Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, Redis, ODBC

APIs & Data: REST, SOAP, XML, JSON, webhooks
Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, Azure, Linux/Apache, Git

If your project requires a specific technology, let's discuss it.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes. Software isn't "done" at launch—it needs maintenance, updates, and enhancements.

We offer flexible ongoing support: hourly as-needed, monthly retainers, or structured maintenance agreements. Whatever keeps your software running smoothly and evolving with your business.

Can you take over an existing project or codebase?

Absolutely. We've inherited, rescued, and modernized codebases across industries.

We'll start with a technical assessment to understand what you have, identify risks and opportunities, and recommend a path forward—whether that's incremental improvements or a strategic rebuild.

Do you work with clients outside of Texas?

Yes. While we're based in Austin and love working with Texas businesses, software development is location-independent. We work with clients throughout the United States via video calls, shared tools, and responsive communication.

We offer on-site visits for kickoffs, training, and key milestones when face-to-face time adds value.

What does 'fractional CTO' mean?

It means you get executive-level technical leadership without a full-time executive salary.

We can step in to guide technology strategy, evaluate vendor options, lead architecture decisions, manage development teams, or provide technical due diligence—on a part-time or project basis. Ideal for growing companies that need senior technical guidance but aren't ready for a full-time CTO.
