What is InstantDev?

InstantDev is a fully-managed, on-demand development service that helps you get dev work done fast. With a monthly subscription plan, flexible credits, and a dedicated team, you get production-ready code without the hiring, overhead, or delays.

Who is InstantDev for?

InstantDev is built for fast-moving teams that need development work done without the usual friction. Whether you’re a founder building your MVP, a startup shipping new features, a product team buried in backlog, or an agency expanding your capabilities — InstantDev is the go-to development edge for modern, forward-thinking businesses.

Why choose InstantDev?

InstantDev gives you everything you need to build without the blockers. You get a vetted, managed team that starts fast, works flexibly, and delivers production-ready code using a simple credit system. No hiring delays, no retainers, no micromanaging. Just consistent, high-quality development on your terms.

How InstantDev
Works

From onboarding to delivery, here's how InstantDev helps you get your dev work done.

1

Get Set Up

Choose a plan, define your goals, and get started fast.

2

Build & Deliver

Submit tasks and get your work shipped.

3

Keep Building on Your Terms

Stay flexible and scale as needed.

How do I get started?

We’ll help you choose the right credit plan for your needs and get you signed up. Next, we will get your project scoped and a timeline set, assemble your team, and get everything ready. You can kick off your first project within 24 hours of joining.

Who will I be working with?

You’ll get a dedicated Project Manager, a Technical Lead, and a team of developers and designers selected for your project. Your PM handles coordination, your Tech Lead ensures technical quality, and the full team is ready to execute from day one.

How does task submission and delivery work?

Submit tasks through our platform and we manage the rest. Your team scopes, builds, and delivers using credits from your plan. Whether it’s a new feature, a fix, or a complete product build, you’ll only pay for what we build. 

How does InstantDev use AI?

We use AI where it adds speed, not risk. InstantDev combines AI-assisted tooling with human expertise to accelerate delivery — not replace it. You still get handcrafted, production-ready code, but faster. Think: AI-enhanced workflows, not AI-written MVPs. That’s how we ship fast and ship well.

What type of projects can InstantDev do?

InstantDev supports a wide range of software development projects, from building out MVPs and new product features to tackling bugs, tech debt, infrastructure upgrades, and more. Our team can implement designs, integrate third-party tools like CRMs and payment systems, run automated testing, improve performance, or develop POCs. Whether you need a full product build or help clearing your backlog, we’ll deliver either clean, production-ready code or a fully tested, working solution — depending on how you prefer to ship.

Do you work in my tech stack?

Yes! InstantDev works across all modern frameworks and tools. Our developers are experts in Vue.js, React, Angular, TypeScript, and JavaScript, as well as Laravel, Nuxt, and Tailwind CSS. Whether you're building front-end interfaces, back-end systems, or full-stack applications, we'll match you with a team that knows your environment and can deliver efficiently. We're language-agnostic and tech-flexible, so if it's part of your stack, it's part of ours.

Can you work with my existing devs and workflows?

Absolutely. We can own the full build or integrate into your current workflow. Your team can collaborate with our PMs, Tech Leads, and devs directly, in your tools, on your terms.

Understanding Our
Credit System

Credits = control. You decide what gets built, when, and how much to spend.

Service
Credits
development
1 CREDIT per hour
UX/UI Design
1 CREDIT per hour
consulting
1.25 CREDITS per hour
QA/Testing
0.75 CREDITS per hour
Project Management
0.75 CREDITS per hour

What exactly are credits and how are they used?

Credits are how you pay for work, like a flexible development currency. You choose a monthly plan with a set number of credits. As your team works on tasks, time is tracked and deducted from your credit balance.

Can I use my credits across different services? 

Yes. Your credits are fully interchangeable across development, QA/testing, consulting, and project management. Whether you’re building features, fixing bugs, or testing for launch, your credits go where they’re needed most.

What happens if I don’t use all my credits? 

No problem. Any unused credits automatically roll over for up to 3 months, giving you flexibility to pause or ramp work without losing value.
