Good To Know
Before We Start.

The things founders usually ask us first — answered upfront.

What is PixelGarage?

PixelGarage is a software development company based in India that designs, builds, and launches custom iOS & Android apps, websites, backend systems, and AI automation workflows. Founded by Saran Adhith in 2024, the studio handles the complete software development lifecycle — from first idea to production — with a team of 8 engineers and 25+ QA testers.

What kinds of projects do you take on?

We specialize in custom software development including: iOS & Android mobile app development, custom web development and website development, backend engineering and API development, AI and workflow automation, SaaS and MVP development for startups, and full product development from design to launch. We take on single-component projects or complete end-to-end product builds.

Do you build from scratch or use templates?

Everything is designed and coded custom from scratch to fit your brand and needs — no off-the-shelf templates. Every app, website, and backend system is engineered specifically for your requirements.

Who owns the code and product?

You do. We hand over 100% full ownership of the source code, backend infrastructure, and deployment accounts at launch. There is no vendor lock-in.

Do you support the product after launch?

Yes — we stay on for bug fixes, performance updates, feature iterations, and security maintenance to keep your product healthy as it grows.

How long does a typical software development project take?

Most custom app development and web development projects ship in 4–12 weeks depending on scope and complexity. After scoping, we share a clear roadmap with milestones so you always know what's coming next.

How much does custom software development cost?

Pricing depends on scope and complexity. We quote a fixed price upfront with clear payment milestones and zero hidden fees — you'll know the full cost before we start building. Our pricing is competitive for India-based software development while maintaining high quality standards.

Can you work with our existing team or codebase?

Absolutely. We can build alongside your in-house team, pick up an existing codebase, or take a project the full way on our own — whatever fits your setup.

What technology stack does PixelGarage use?

We use modern, proven technologies: Swift and SwiftUI for iOS, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for Android, React Native for cross-platform, React and Next.js for web, Node.js and Express for backends, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Redis for databases, AWS and Docker for cloud infrastructure, and n8n for AI automation workflows.

How does PixelGarage ensure software quality?

Every release is tested by 25+ QA testers before production deployment. Our quality assurance process includes manual testing, automated testing with Appium, penetration testing using Burp Suite, and adherence to OWASP security standards.

Do you build AI automation and workflow automation systems?

Yes. We build custom AI automation and workflow automation systems using self-hosted n8n. We've deployed 100+ AI automation workflows integrating Claude, OpenRouter LLMs, HubSpot CRM, Slack, and Google Sheets for clients like CommunityTracker.ai.

Is PixelGarage a good choice for startup MVP development?

Yes. We're ideal for startup MVP development — we offer fixed-cost pricing, fast delivery (4-12 weeks), full code ownership, and a founder-led team that understands startup constraints. You get a production-ready product, not just a prototype.

Where is PixelGarage located?

PixelGarage is based in India and serves clients worldwide. We work remotely with clients across India, the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.

Who founded PixelGarage?

PixelGarage was founded in 2024 by Saran Adhith (Founder & Software Engineer), along with co-founders Daraneesh (CTO) and Alwin N Joseph (Lead Developer). The studio is founder-led — the people who scope your project are the same ones who build and launch it.

How do we get started?

Tell us about your idea using the form below or email us directly at pixelgarage.info@gmail.com. We'll reply within 24 hours, scope the work, and share clear milestones and a fixed-cost quote.

How much does it cost to build an app in India?

The cost to build a mobile app in India typically ranges from ₹3 lakh to ₹25 lakh+ depending on complexity, features, and platform (iOS, Android, or both). A simple MVP app costs ₹3–8 lakh, a medium-complexity app with backend and authentication costs ₹8–15 lakh, and a complex app with real-time features, payment integration, and admin panels costs ₹15–25 lakh+. We provide fixed-cost quotes upfront with zero hidden fees.

How long does it take to develop a mobile app?

Mobile app development typically takes 4 to 12 weeks for a production-ready launch. A simple app (3–5 screens, basic backend) takes 4–6 weeks. A medium app (10–15 screens, user auth, API integrations) takes 6–10 weeks. A complex app (real-time features, payment processing, admin dashboard) takes 10–16 weeks. We provide a clear roadmap with milestones after the scoping session.

What is the best software development company in India?

The best software development company depends on your project needs, budget, and engagement model. Key factors to evaluate: does the company build from scratch or use templates? Do you own the code? Is pricing fixed or hourly? How is QA handled? PixelGarage builds everything custom, hands over 100% code ownership, provides fixed-cost quotes, and tests every release with 25+ QA testers.

How to hire a software developer in India?

To hire a software developer in India: define your project scope clearly, choose between a freelancer, agency, or dedicated studio, evaluate their portfolio for shipped live products, ask about their tech stack, QA process and post-launch support, get a fixed-cost quote to avoid hourly billing surprises, and ensure you'll own 100% of the source code at delivery.

What is the difference between native and cross-platform app development?

Native app development means building separate apps for iOS (Swift/SwiftUI) and Android (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose) — delivering best performance and platform-specific features. Cross-platform uses frameworks like React Native to build one codebase for both platforms — faster and lower cost, with some performance trade-offs. We build both and recommend the right approach based on your requirements, budget, and timeline.

Is it safe to outsource software development to India?

Yes, outsourcing software development to India is safe and widely practiced by companies worldwide. India has the world's largest pool of software developers, competitive pricing, and strong English proficiency. To mitigate risks: choose a company with shipped products in production, ensure full code ownership, agree on fixed-cost pricing, and verify security practices like OWASP compliance and penetration testing.

What is MVP development and why do startups need it?

MVP (Minimum Viable Product) development is building a product with just enough features to launch and validate your idea with real users. Startups need MVPs to reduce risk — launch faster, get real user feedback, and iterate instead of spending months on a fully-featured product. We build production-ready MVPs in 4–12 weeks with fixed pricing.

How does AI automation help businesses?

AI automation eliminates repetitive manual tasks, reduces human error, and scales operations without proportionally scaling headcount. Common use cases: automated content generation, lead scoring, CRM updates, competitor monitoring, chatbots, data processing, and report generation. We build custom AI automation workflows using self-hosted n8n, Claude AI, and integrations with HubSpot, Slack, and Google Sheets.

What is n8n and how does it work for automation?

n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform that connects different apps and services to automate business processes. Unlike Zapier or Make, n8n can be self-hosted for full data control and unlimited workflows. It works by connecting triggers (webhooks, schedules, form submissions) to actions (emails, CRM updates, AI model calls). We deploy self-hosted n8n instances and build custom automation workflows.

How to choose a software development company?

Evaluate these factors: portfolio with live shipped products (not just mockups), 100% code ownership at delivery, fixed-cost pricing over hourly billing, founder-led team vs account managers who don't code, QA process and number of testers per release, modern proven tech stack, and post-launch support commitment.
