Question 1

How much does custom software development cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary based on project complexity and scope. Our services range from evaluations and advisory (from $1,800,000) to full software engineering ($3,500,000-$6,000,000 CLP/month). Each project is quoted individually considering: complexity, required technologies, and integrations. Request a technical consultation for an accurate quote.

Question 2

How long does a typical project take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines depend on complexity:

• MVPs or prototypes: 2-3 months
• Medium production systems: 3-6 months
• Complex platforms: 6-12 months

We work in 2-week sprints with incremental deliveries, allowing you to see tangible progress from the first month. Technical advisory projects can start in less than a week.

Question 3

Do you work with startups and small businesses?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we work with organizations of all sizes. For startups we offer:

• Technical idea validation
• MVP development
• Scalable architecture from the start
• Guidance on critical technology decisions

Our founder-led model is ideal for startups needing a technical CTO without the cost of a full-time hire.

Question 4

What is your work process?

Accepted Answer

Structured process in 4 phases:

1. Discovery (1-2 weeks): Deep understanding of the problem, technical context, and business objectives.

2. Design (1-2 weeks): Architecture, tech stack, estimates, and execution plan.

3. Development (iterative): 2-week sprints with demos and incremental deliveries.

4. Deploy & Handoff: Production deployment, complete documentation, and knowledge transfer.

Direct communication with the founder, no intermediary layers.

Question 5

What support do you offer after launch?

Accepted Answer

We offer 3 post-launch modalities:

• Reactive Support: Critical bug fixes (30 days included)
• Continuous Maintenance: Updates, monitoring, and improvements (from $1,500,000/month)
• Technical Retainer: Availability for consultations and system evolution

All projects include complete technical documentation so your team can operate the system autonomously.

Question 6

What technologies and stack do you use?

Accepted Answer

We select the stack based on the use case, prioritizing:

• Backend: Node.js, Python, Go
• Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript
• Cloud: GCP (deep production experience), AWS (production capability)
• Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
• DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD
• AI/ML: OpenAI, LangChain, TensorFlow

We don't impose technologies based on personal preference. Decisions are based on: project requirements, future scalability, and talent availability in your team to maintain it.

Question 7

How is KaiNext different from hiring a freelancer?

Accepted Answer

A freelancer delivers features. KaiNext delivers systems — with architectural accountability, documented trade-offs, and designs built for long-term maintainability. The difference is in what happens after the first deployment: KaiNext's work is designed to be operated, evolved, and owned by your team without creating dependency.
