Customer code and test artefacts remain under the customer's control.
What you get
with a dedicated engineer
The people, cadence, and deliverables stated in the offer.
Start free — cloud sandbox, 15 UI tests a month, unlimited CI runs. Self-Serve Pro is $49/mo (200 UI + API tests, self-healing locators, 3 projects) and Team is $149/mo (750 tests, 10 projects, priority support). Managed QA — where a forward-deployed engineer verifies every test — starts at $499/mo through Starter, Growth, Scale and Enterprise. A dedicated in-house QA engineer costs $8,000+/mo. This is a service: the monthly is the product, and we won't pretend otherwise.
How QAShift works
The problem
Most teams ship with either no QA or a QA process that slows every release to a crawl. Hiring a QA team takes months and costs six figures. Skipping QA costs more — you just pay for it in production.
How QAShift solves it
Automated first pass
Every release runs through Verity — functional tests, accessibility scans, security checks — before a human ever looks at it.
Human verification
Real engineers review what automation flags, reproduce what matters, and file reports your developers can act on the same day.
Flat monthly price
Scoped to your release cadence, not billed per bug or per tester-hour. You know the number before the month starts.
Delivery terms — stated precisely
How QAShift is delivered, what you control, and where the boundaries sit.
Managed service
Customer code and test artefacts remain under the customer's control.
Data and hosting
Deploy in your cloud or use the stated optional managed-hosting plan. Data location and operator access are agreed before production use.
Compliance boundary
Residency, controls, and regulatory requirements are implementation decisions documented in the selected plan or delivery scope.
Built on
QAShift — the questions buyers ask
Who owns the code and IP?
For a Build Sprint, the repository, deployment assets, and work-product IP described in the SOW are handed over to you. Pre-existing products retain the licence shown on their product page; hosted services remain services. We state that boundary before work starts.
What happens if a sprint misses its scope?
We finish it. Fixed price means the risk of estimation is ours, not yours — a missed scope item is completed without a new invoice. Changes you request are re-scoped explicitly, so the line between 'our miss' and 'new ask' stays honest.
How do time zones work with a pod in India?
Every engagement includes 4+ hours of overlap with US or EU working hours. Async by default — written updates, weekly clickable demos — and meetings only when they earn the slot. You'll never chase a status report.
How is our data and code kept secure?
Work happens in your repos and your infrastructure wherever possible — we hold the minimum access needed, revoked at handover. NDAs are standard on request, and everything we self-host for you runs behind your keys, not ours.
How fast can you actually start?
Scoping takes a day; most sprints start within a week of sign-off. Pods are deliberately small and senior, so your start date is confirmed in the sprint plan — not left floating.
Do we need a retainer afterwards?
No — that's the point. A sprint ends with handover docs and training. If you want us to keep maintaining what we built, that's an optional flat monthly add-on you can cancel any month, because the software keeps working without us.
Put a number on what you need.
See the price, deploy on your infrastructure, keep the code. Or scope a sprint and we'll customise it and hand it over.
