Frequently asked questions.
Everything prospective clients ask before reaching out — about our teams, process, pricing, and AI practice. Honest answers, no sales spin.
Apricot is a software development and technology company that helps startups, SMEs, and enterprises build scalable digital products. We specialize in web applications, mobile apps, AI-powered solutions, SaaS platforms, and custom software development, delivering high-quality products from idea to launch.
We are based in Latin America , and work with clients globally through a remote-first collaboration model.
Since 20 years. We started with a mission to build reliable, high-quality software for ambitious businesses and have grown through long-term client partnerships, referrals, and consistent delivery.
We are bootstrapped, which allows us to focus on sustainable growth, customer success, and building long-term relationships rather than short-term investor expectations.
Getting started is simple. Schedule a discovery call or contact us with your project idea, goals, and requirements. We'll discuss your vision, understand your business needs, and recommend the best approach. After that, we'll share a proposal with the project scope, timeline, and pricing. Once everything is approved, our team gets started on turning your idea into a high-quality digital product.
The discovery call is a no-obligation conversation where we learn about your business, goals, challenges, and project requirements. We'll discuss your vision, target audience, desired features, timeline, and budget, answer any questions you have, and recommend the best technical approach. By the end of the call, you'll have a clear understanding of the next steps, estimated timeline, and how we can help bring your idea to life.
Depending on your project's scope and requirements, we can typically assemble and onboard a dedicated team within 1–2 weeks. For urgent engagements, we can often begin with key team members in just a few days while scaling the team as the project progresses.
Yes. If you'd prefer to have an NDA in place before sharing your idea or project details, we're happy to sign one before our first conversation. We understand the importance of confidentiality and treat all client information with the highest level of care and professionalism.
Yes. We believe consistency leads to better outcomes, so we aim to keep the same core team with your project from start to finish. This helps preserve product knowledge, ensures smooth communication, and speeds up development. If additional specialists are needed as the project grows, they'll be introduced seamlessly while your core team remains consistent.
We plan for continuity from day one. Every project is documented, code is regularly reviewed, and knowledge is shared across the team. If an engineer leaves, we quickly onboard a replacement using this documentation and internal handover process, ensuring minimal disruption to your project. Your project timeline and quality remain our responsibility throughout the engagement.
Absolutely. Our engagement model is designed to be flexible. As your project evolves, you can easily scale the team up to accelerate development or bring in additional expertise, and scale it down when your workload decreases. We work with you to adjust team size based on your priorities, timeline, and budget, ensuring you always have the right resources at the right time.
Our engineers primarily work in Latin america time zone. but we're experienced in collaborating with clients across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Depending on your needs, we can provide overlapping working hours to ensure smooth communication, regular meetings, and timely project updates across different time zones.
Our pricing is tailored to your project's scope, complexity, and engagement model. We offer flexible options, including fixed-price projects for well-defined requirements and dedicated teams or time-and-materials engagements for evolving products. After the discovery call, we'll provide a transparent proposal outlining the scope, timeline, deliverables, and costs—so you know exactly what to expect with no hidden fees.
Our minimum engagement is typically one month, allowing enough time for onboarding, planning, and delivering meaningful progress. Whether you need a single developer or a dedicated product team, we can tailor the engagement to match your project goals and scale it as your needs evolve.
Yes. We offer fixed-price engagements for projects with clearly defined requirements, scope, and deliverables. After the discovery phase, we'll provide a detailed proposal outlining the project scope, timeline, milestones, and total cost. For projects with evolving requirements, we may recommend a time-and-materials or dedicated team model to provide greater flexibility.
We keep our billing process simple and transparent. Depending on your engagement model, invoices are issued on a fixed milestone basis, monthly, or according to agreed project deliverables. Each invoice includes a clear breakdown of the work completed, and payments can be made through secure international or local payment methods. We'll agree on the payment schedule before the project begins, so there are no surprises.
Yes. We regularly take over existing applications and codebases. Our team begins with a technical assessment to understand the architecture, code quality, documentation, infrastructure, and any outstanding issues. Based on this review, we create a transition plan and seamlessly take over development, maintenance, or further enhancements while minimizing disruption to your business.
We work with a wide range of modern technologies to build scalable, high-performance digital products. Our expertise includes:
Frontend
Backend
Mobile
Cloud & DevOps
Quality is built into every stage of our development process. We follow coding best practices, conduct peer code reviews, write automated tests where appropriate, and use CI/CD pipelines to catch issues early. Our QA engineers perform thorough functional, performance, and regression testing before every release. We also maintain clear documentation and follow consistent coding standards to ensure the codebase remains scalable, secure, and easy to maintain.
We take a comprehensive approach to testing to ensure every product is reliable, secure, and ready for production. Our process includes manual and automated testing, covering functional, regression, performance, usability, and cross-browser/device compatibility. QA is involved throughout the development lifecycle—not just before launch—so issues are identified and resolved early. Every release is thoroughly validated to ensure it meets quality standards and delivers a smooth user experience.
We help businesses leverage AI and machine learning to automate processes, improve decision-making, and create smarter digital products. Our services include AI strategy and consulting, custom AI application development, machine learning models, generative AI solutions, LLM integrations, chatbots and virtual assistants, recommendation engines, predictive analytics, computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and intelligent workflow automation. We also integrate leading AI platforms such as OpenAI and build secure, scalable AI solutions tailored to your business needs.
Yes. We help clients fine-tune and customize large language models (LLMs) when it makes sense for their use case. Depending on your requirements, we can fine-tune open-source models on your proprietary data, implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), optimize prompts, and integrate domain-specific knowledge to improve accuracy and performance. We'll recommend the most effective approach—whether that's fine-tuning, prompt engineering, or RAG—based on your goals, data availability, budget, and deployment requirements.
We work with a broad range of leading AI models and platforms to build intelligent, scalable solutions tailored to your business needs. Our expertise includes:
Large Language Models (LLMs)
AI Frameworks
Vector Databases
Cloud AI Platforms
AI accuracy is a key priority in every solution we build. We improve reliability by combining high-quality data, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), model evaluation, and continuous testing. We validate AI outputs against trusted data sources, implement human review where needed, and monitor performance after deployment to identify and reduce errors over time. When appropriate, we fine-tune models or refine prompts to improve accuracy for your specific domain and use case, ensuring the solution delivers consistent and trustworthy results.
