How we compare to other options

You are likely here because a quote arrived as hourly rates, offshore capacity, or a no-code subscription, and you are unsure what you actually own at the end. These pages spell out deliverables, IP, and who holds AWS keys before you sign.

We are not claiming every alternative is wrong for every startup. No-code can validate demand. A strong freelancer can extend code we hand off. The point is to match the buying model to your timeline: fundraising inside 90 days, first revenue this quarter, or hiring your first engineer next year.

Stantons Dev House sells three named products with fixed scope and fixed EUR price: The Investor Demo, The Core Engine, and The AI Cortex. Delivery runs in weeks. Code, data, and infrastructure deploy to your AWS account.

If a comparison page resonates, follow the product ladder on our for-founders guides or book a demo for a guaranteed quote. Published tiers live on each product page so you can sanity-check budget before a call.

Before you sign, confirm what you own at handoff: repository access, AWS account ownership, and infrastructure as code. Ask for a fixed price tied to named deliverables, not a rate card.

If the vendor cannot answer those three items clearly, compare their proposal to our product tiers and book a demo for a parallel quote.

If you already have a CTO, a stable backlog, and need extra hands for six months, staff augmentation may fit better than a product buy. We are aimed at founders who need an asset on a deadline.

Use the cards below to open the comparison that matches the quote on your desk. Each page ends with FAQ and a path to products or contact.
