WHAT CLIENTS SAY

Clients trust Airdev to launch and scale

Hear from the founders and teams we've worked with.

"Airdev has been critical to our venture's progress. They truly offer a seemingly impossible value proposition: they not only sit in the intersection between quality, speed, and cost, but also bring business wits into the process. In the end, I truly considered Airdev our partners in our venture."
Andrés Vélez

Founder and CEO, Tributi
"Airdev is a great solution for companies who are starting at the very earliest stage, who are trying to come up with a proof of concept…But, they're not just for the brand new ideation and MVP types. Airdev has built a system that's enabled us to scale as well."

SVP, Head of Product, Dividend Finance
"Airdev helped me launch my marketplace for therapy services in a fraction of the time and cost quoted by other vendors. Being non-technical, I relied on Airdev's guidance for prioritizing the most critical MVP features to test my hypothesis. Really recommend using this team if you want a strong product to market quickly!"

"Working with AirDev was an entirely different experience from typical outsourced developers; it was like having another member of the team. Their ability to translate broad guidance and run with ideas saved me and our team 40+ hours per week."
Richard Sherrington

Engagement Manager, McKinsey & Company
"As non-technical, female founders of a mission-driven organization, we got a lot of feedback that our idea was nice but we needed to get a technical co-founder on board to be taken seriously. What Airdev has been able to accomplish in just a week is totally astounding and fits our needs perfectly."

FAQS

Common questions

Ultimately, how you manage your team is completely up to you – you can use whatever process and software you prefer. However, here are some recommendations to consider:

Project Management: Use tools like Clickup, Trello, Asana, or Linear to organize tasks with status updates.

Communication: Use a tool like Slack for occasional seamless communications, reserving live video calls for complex topics. Aim to keep most communication within the project management tool so all relevant information stays organized by task.

Time Tracking: Decide with your team whether to use the time tracking tool in your Airdev portal, based on your project's needs. If you hire a full-time developer, they may not need to log hours. However, if you hire a developer for less than 20 hours per month, logging hours can help you track remaining capacity.

There are two kinds of plans available: single-month plans and recurring plans. Single-month plans are suitable for discrete tasks, while recurring plans are ideal for ongoing projects. Both plans allow you to choose your monthly number of hours, and the hourly rate decreases as you book more hours. You and your freelancer decide how to allocate your monthly hours, and if you run out of hours, you can top-up at the same rate. Recurring plans can be canceled at any time, with the cancellation taking effect at the end of the current period.

You can get matched with a freelancer within 2-3 business days after paying a $500 deposit and providing details about the role you need and your preferences. This deposit is deducted from your first payment if you hire someone – or refunded if you don't. Once matched, you'll have a 30-minute discovery call with the freelancer to discuss project requirements and learn more about them.

All Airdev freelancers undergo a rigorous selection process tailored to their specific roles. This process includes interviews, exercises, and simulated client projects to assess both their job skills and professionalism. Once onboarded, team members receive ongoing support through centralized resources and a technical help desk. Additionally, individual performance is monitored to ensure consistent high standards. If technical issues arise, freelancers can rely on Airdev's central help desk for assistance.

Airdev Flex is ideal for individuals or businesses looking for a cost-effective solution to build their product without the expense of hiring a high-end agency. Flex allows you to access top-quality Bubble developers, designers, and other essential roles on a fractional basis. If you have the time and skills to manage your own team, Airdev Flex offers the highest value-for-money way to bring your product to market.

The most common client types we see using this model are:

  • Entrepreneurs/organizations seeking cost-effective Bubble product development (and are willing to put in the effort)
  • Entrepreneurs/organizations with an existing Bubble product needing expert assistance for further development
  • Companies/agencies aiming to establish or augment their Bubble capabilities without the hiring overhead
