“Before Creuto, every department was running on its own disconnected spreadsheet. Nihar locked down our operational requirements in the PRD, and his team delivered a unified system that gave our management team real-time visibility for the first time.”

Frequently asked questions

Straightforward answers to common questions.

Clear expectations regarding our product process, intellectual property, timelines, and post-launch support.

We start with a 45-minute discovery consultation. We review your current operations or product concept, identify key bottlenecks, and determine whether custom software engineering makes strategic sense. If aligned, we begin with an intensive PRD and architecture specification sprint before writing production code.
Never. 100% of all software engineering, database architecture, UI/UX design, and quality assurance is conducted by our dedicated in-house team at Creuto, led directly by Nihar. You work with a unified squad with direct founder accountability.
You own 100% of all intellectual property, source code, database schemas, deployment pipelines, and design assets from day one. All code is committed directly to your company's own GitHub repositories and cloud infrastructure.
We operate on fixed-milestone sprint agreements tied directly to agreed deliverables. Pricing depends on the functional scope, integrations, and market scenario of the client. Because we specify everything upfront in the PRD, you never face surprise hourly billing or runaway invoices.
We specialize in modern, battle-tested production technologies: TypeScript, React, Next.js, React Native, Node.js, Python/FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and AWS/Cloudflare. We select tools based on your long-term operational scale, never unproven tech trends.
Every production launch includes a 30-to-60-day post-launch warranty covering bug fixes, server telemetry, and performance tuning. We also provide ongoing maintenance retainer agreements and help onboard or train your internal developers when you are ready to expand in-house.
