VYANIS vs traditional agencies
Traditional web agencies bill by the hour, run 4–6 month timelines, and quietly lock you into a retainer. We ship in 3–8 weeks, quote fixed prices, and hand you the GitHub repo. Here's how the numbers actually compare.
Hourly vs fixed
Agency: $80–150/hr, no ceiling. VYANIS: fixed price agreed before we start. You know the number, we absorb the risk of overruns.
6 months vs 6 weeks
Agency waterfall: 8–16 weeks of discovery + 12–20 weeks of build. VYANIS: 1 week of scoping + 3–8 weeks of shipping. You launch before their kickoff meeting ends.
3 senior engineers vs 1 PM + 4 juniors
Agencies bill senior rates but staff with juniors and one senior 'reviewer'. Every VYANIS project is delivered end-to-end by senior full-stack engineers.
You own the repo, not them
Most agencies keep the repo 'for maintenance'. We transfer it to your GitHub org before final invoice. If you fire us tomorrow, any engineer can continue.
No mandatory retainer
No $2k/mo 'maintenance' floor. Optional retainer if you want it, zero pressure if you don't.
Real production stack
Agencies still ship WordPress + jQuery in 2026. We ship TypeScript, TanStack, edge SSR, Supabase — the stack Vercel, Linear and Cal.com actually use.
Frequently asked questions
Why is VYANIS faster than a traditional agency?
Traditional agencies bill by the hour, so more hours = more revenue. VYANIS ships fixed-price sprints — we make more money by shipping faster, so incentives align with yours.
Do I really own the code?
Yes. GitHub repository is transferred to your account before you pay the final invoice. No 'source escrow', no monthly hosting lock-in. If we parted ways tomorrow, any other team could pick up the codebase.
What about ongoing maintenance?
We offer optional monthly retainers, but they're not required. Most of our clients handle maintenance themselves after handover, or hire a junior engineer for a fraction of an agency retainer.
How is pricing fixed if scope changes?
We fix the price for the agreed scope. If you add features mid-sprint, we quote the change as a separate fixed-price add-on before starting. No hourly meter running in the background.
