In short
Dinoustech is an offshore software and app development company in India that works with UK startups and SMEs during UK office hours.

The basics
UK quality, Indian team costs
UK agency day rates make a first app version expensive for most startups. An experienced team in India can build the same product for a fraction of the cost, and India's time zone gives a full working-day overlap with the UK.
We build with UK requirements in mind: GDPR-aware data handling, cookie consent, data stored in UK or EU cloud regions when needed, and clear records of who can access what.
You work directly with the founder and the developers on your product, with a working build every two weeks and a written update after each one.
What we build

FAQs
App Development for UK Startups FAQs
How much does it cost to build an app with an Indian team for a UK business?
A simple MVP starts around $6,000 and takes 6 to 8 weeks. Two-sided apps with customer and provider sides start around $15,000, and SaaS or AI products start around $25,000. That is usually a third to a quarter of a local UK agency quote for the same scope.
How long does it take to build an MVP?
Most MVPs take 6 to 10 weeks from the written scope to launch. You see clickable designs in the first two weeks and a working build every two weeks after that.
Who owns the code and the app?
You do. We sign an NDA before you share details, and all source code, designs, app store accounts and cloud accounts are transferred to you.
How do you manage the time difference?
India is 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead of the UK, so our working day fully covers UK office hours. Your developers join your stand-ups and reply on Slack or email during your day.
What happens after launch?
We offer monthly support plans for bug fixes, updates, server monitoring and new features. Many clients keep the same team for the next versions of their product.
Can you take over an app another team started?
Yes. We review the existing code, tell you honestly what can be kept, fix critical issues first and then continue development.
Do you follow GDPR?
Yes. We build with GDPR practices: only the data you need, consent where required, encryption, access controls and hosting in UK or EU regions on request. We also sign a data processing agreement.
