The Swiss cost: quality equation

In Switzerland, a competent agency or independent contractor bills somewhere between CHF 120 and CHF 200+ an hour, and rightly so, given local salaries and cost of living. The trouble is that the rate rarely reflects the difficulty of the work. You pay Zürich prices for a straightforward feature just as readily as for a hard one.

Codebrand offers a different arithmetic. Our senior engineers are priced from your budget as a fixed figure per term from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, where costs are lower but the standards are not. We built this business around the expectations Swiss buyers actually hold: precise scoping, disciplined testing, documentation your own team can maintain, and code that reads like it was meant to last. Lower cost is the by-product of geography, not of cutting the corners you care about. To see the arithmetic rather than read about it, send a proposal request with your budget and we reply with a fixed figure in CHF, EUR or USD.

If you're weighing options across the continent, start at our nearshore development for Europe hub, or read how the model works in general on our nearshore development overview. Founded in 2020 with a 5.0-star Google rating, we're an established team, not a marketplace of strangers.

How we meet Swiss quality expectations

Rigor isn't a slogan here, it's the daily process. This is what a Swiss buyer gets in practice.

Peer Code Review

Every change ships through a reviewed pull request, nothing lands unread.

Automated Testing

Unit and integration tests plus CI, so regressions are caught before you see them.

Real Documentation

Architecture notes, READMEs, and API docs a Swiss team can maintain without us.

Sprint Demos

Working software shown every sprint at the afternoon CET overlap, no surprises.

NDAs & IP Transfer

Signed NDAs up front and clean, documented handover of code you fully own.

Traceable Delivery

Tickets, estimates, and itemized time so scope and spend stay transparent.

Two ways to engage us

Dedicated Team

A fixed squad of senior engineers working only on your roadmap, embedded in your sprints, tooling, and standups. Best for ongoing product work where continuity and deep context matter.

Fixed-Scope Engagement

Senior engineering at a fixed price for a defined scope, an audit, or augmenting your in-house team through a busy quarter. Resize the team when the term renews.

Many Swiss clients begin with a dedicated squad after a short pilot, see our dedicated development team for how that model runs day to day.

How we price

Priced from your budget. Not by the hour.

We don't publish hourly rates. Tell us the capacity you need and the budget you have; we propose the roles, seniority and hours that fit it and close a fixed price for the term.

One senior developer

A single engineer with the stack you name, embedded in your team for the term you define, at a fixed monthly price.

A dedicated squad

Two or more developers plus a project manager working only on your product, sized to the monthly budget you set.

A fixed-scope build

A defined deliverable, a website, an app or an integration, closed at a fixed price for the agreed scope.

How it works

  1. 01You tell us what you want to build and the budget you have in mind.
  2. 02We propose the resources that fit it: roles, seniority, hours and timeline.
  3. 03You approve a fixed price for that scope. No hourly surprises, no hidden fees.
  4. 04We build in weekly sprints and you own 100% of the code from the first commit.

Switzerland FAQ

We're flexible on governing law. Many Swiss clients prefer contracts and NDAs governed by Swiss law with jurisdiction in their canton, and we're comfortable signing on those terms; others opt for a neutral framework or US law. We'll sign your NDA before any discovery work begins, and the master agreement always confirms that you own 100% of the code, repositories, and documentation we produce. Have your legal team send their preferred paper, we'll work from it.
Yes. We invoice in Swiss francs, euros, or US dollars, whichever is cleanest for your accounting. The price is fixed per term from your budget, and every invoice itemizes the work so it reconciles line by line. We handle SEPA and international bank transfers, and our invoices include the detail your finance team needs for VAT and cost-center allocation.
We build to comply with both the EU GDPR and Switzerland's revised Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP). In practice that means data-processing agreements where required, least-privilege access to your systems, encrypted secrets, and infrastructure hosted in the EU or Switzerland when residency matters to you. We don't move personal data to environments you haven't approved, and we document how and where data flows so your DPO can sign off.
Yes. Codebrand carries a 5.0-star Google rating across 50 reviews, and on request we'll arrange a reference call with a comparable client and walk you through representative code and architecture from projects we're cleared to share. For new engagements we're happy to start with a small paid pilot so you can judge our engineering quality against your standards before committing to a longer contract.
English is our working language, every commit message, pull-request comment, ticket, and sprint demo is in fluent English, and daily standups and calls run in English without an interpreter. Since most Swiss engineering teams already operate in English across their language regions, our developers slot straight into your existing Slack, Jira, and review workflow.
We won't pretend to sit in your time zone, we're in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, on US Central Time (UTC-6), seven hours behind Switzerland. In practice that gives a dependable daily overlap from roughly 15:00 to 18:00 CET for live calls, pairing, and demos, while the rest of our day runs async: you review a pull request or leave feedback in the evening and wake to finished, tested work. Teams that lean on clear tickets and written updates find the rhythm genuinely productive.
