A checklist card of questions to ask a software company before hiring, with most items ticked.

Before hiring a software company in Hyderabad, ask ten things: one written price against a written scope, your data being yours with the price of the code written down, a live link every week, the same person from the first call onwards, and written terms for after launch, among others. A good company answers all of them plainly on the first call.

The ten questions, and what a weak answer sounds like

AskA weak answer means
Do they give one written price against a written scope?No written scope means the price can move
Is your data yours, and is the price of the code written down?You may not be able to leave with what you paid for
Will you see a live link every week?Progress you cannot see is progress you cannot judge
Is the same person with you from the first call onwards?Handoffs between people lose detail
Do they say when a packaged product would serve you better?Everything looks like a build to a builder
Are their prices published somewhere?Unpublished prices tend to track your budget
Is what happens after launch written down?Support terms decided later cost more
Will they show a working system, not only screenshots?Screens are easy; working records are not
Is the system documented as it is built?The next developer starts from zero without it
Did they ask about your workflows before quoting?A quote without questions is a guess

Where SamaStack stands

Yes to all ten, and each is written down: the price is public, and Plans run from ₹9,999 to ₹49,999 a month plus GST for teams of up to 25, depending on what you need and your team size. There is no setup fee and no per seat fee. One call leads to a written scope and one exact monthly price within 48 hours, there is a live link every week, the same lead runs the project from the first call to every month after, and the system is documented as it is built. Your data is yours and exports free at any time. Own the code later, at a one time price based on what we built for you, or from day one through a custom offer. If a packaged product would serve you better, the first call is where we say so. How the studio works.

Questions people ask

What should I ask before hiring a software company?

Ask for one written price against a written scope, your data being yours with the price of the code written down, a live link every week, the same person from the first call onwards, and written terms for what happens after launch.

How do I know if a software company is reliable?

A reliable company answers plainly on the first call, publishes its prices or a range, asks about your workflows before quoting, and shows you a working system rather than only screenshots.

Should I own the source code?

You should be able to. At minimum your data should be yours and export free at any time, and the price of buying the code should be written into the contract, so any developer can continue the work if you leave.
