Prices on the website. Imagine that.
Most agencies hide pricing behind a sales call. We'd rather you arrive knowing whether we fit your budget — it saves us both time.

Same engineering quality. Different geography.
Our engineers have delivered for KPMG and Palo Alto Networks — the same caliber Western agencies staff. The difference in your invoice is cost of living, not cut corners.
| Role | US/UK agency | Trodas |
|---|---|---|
| Senior AI/ML Engineer | $150–300/hr | $40–60/hr |
| Senior Full-Stack Engineer | $120–250/hr | $30–50/hr |
| Python Automation Engineer | $100–200/hr | $25–45/hr |
| Annotation Team (managed) | $15–30/hr | $6–14/hr |
The fine print, out loud.
Where is Trodas based, and how do time zones work?
Trodas operates from India and structures its day around international clients — guaranteed 4+ hours of overlap with US, UK, EU, UAE, and Australian business hours, plus async-first communication so nothing waits overnight.
Why are Trodas rates lower than US or UK agencies?
Geography, not quality. The engineering team has shipped for Fortune 500 clients at standards identical to Western teams — but the cost base is in India. You get senior engineering at $30–60/hr instead of $150–300/hr.
How do payments work?
Milestone-based for projects (typically 30/40/30), monthly in advance for retainers. Invoiced in USD via Wise or bank transfer, and Upwork is supported when escrow protection is preferred.
What if we're not happy with the work?
Weekly demos surface problems in days, not months. Every project includes revision rounds per milestone and a 30-day warranty after launch. If a milestone genuinely misses the agreed spec, you don't pay for it.
Does Trodas sign NDAs?
Yes — standard practice before any detailed technical discussion. Your data and IP are handled under contractual confidentiality, with GDPR-aligned processes for EU and UK clients.
