Start Your 7-Day
Risk-Free Trial
Work with a dedicated remote developer for 7 full days. If you're not 100% satisfied — for any reason — you pay absolutely nothing. We'll also replace them for free.

Work with your developer for 7 days — free. Love it? Continue. Don't? Pay nothing.
What the Trial Actually Commits You To
The details most "risk-free trial" pages leave out — billing, IP, replacements, and what happens when the week ends.
What happens on day 8?
Nothing automatic. Billing starts only if you tell us to continue — there is no auto-renewal, no card on file, and no cancellation email you have to remember to send. If you want to keep the developer, you approve the start date and the monthly rate before a single invoice is raised, and you can read those rates on our developer rate card before the trial even begins. If you would rather stop, you say so and the engagement ends there. You keep everything built during the seven days either way.
Who owns the code written during the trial?
You do, from the first commit. Every developer signs an IP assignment and an NDA before day 1, so work produced during the trial belongs to you whether or not you continue afterwards. That covers code, documentation, designs and anything else produced in your repositories. We ask for none of it back and we retain no licence to it. If your legal team wants to read the agreement before you start, tell Alex and we will send it across before we send developer profiles.
What does "pre-vetted" actually mean here?
It is not a résumé filter. Every developer we put in front of you has passed a live technical interview with a senior engineer in their own stack, a review of real production work rather than a take-home puzzle, and an English communication check measured against the reality of a daily standup with a US or UK team. We also confirm working-hours overlap before we shortlist anyone, because a brilliant engineer who is asleep during your sprint planning is not a brilliant hire. The full screening sequence is set out in how our hiring process works.
What if the first developer is not the right fit?
You get a free replacement, and the trial clock restarts with the new developer — you do not inherit the days already spent. That applies twice. If a second developer is also wrong, the honest answer is that we have misread your requirement, and we would rather end the engagement than send you a third. Fit failures are almost always a brief problem rather than a talent problem, which is why the first conversation with Alex asks about your codebase, your review culture and your team shape instead of just a list of technologies.
Why 7 days and not 14 or 30?
Because seven working days is long enough to see real output and short enough that nobody is running a free pilot at our expense. In a week a developer joins your standup, gets your repository running locally, ships at least one reviewed pull request and handles the feedback on it. That is the signal you actually need, and it arrives in days rather than weeks. Longer risk-free trials sound more generous, but they push the real decision further out and they quietly select for candidates willing to work unpaid for a month — rarely the ones already in demand. If you need more runway than a week, we would rather start the paid engagement with the replacement guarantee still live than stretch the free window.
What to have ready before day 1
The trial is only worth as much as the work you can hand over. Have one scoped ticket ready — a real one from your backlog, not a sample project — plus repository access, a README that works, and one person on your side who can answer questions the same day. Teams who do this get a merged pull request inside the week. Teams who do not spend three of the seven days on onboarding and learn very little about the developer. If you are building an engineering team in India for the first time, why companies hire in India covers the timezone and cost arithmetic, and hiring AI engineers in India shows what a role-level brief looks like in practice.
Still deciding? Ask Alex the awkward question.
Contract terms, notice periods, overlap hours, what happens if you need to scale down — he answers all of it before you commit to anything.
