Software development company in the USA
Avaib is a software development company for the USA, delivering custom software for American startups, scale-ups and established businesses since 2004. Senior specialists only, a real live window into your working day, and code you own, at a fraction of US hiring and agency costs.
Delivering for teams across New York, San Francisco, Austin, Chicago and the rest of the United States.
Built for US businesses
A software development company builds and looks after the custom software your business runs on, the web apps, mobile apps and internal systems, so you get a full development capability without having to hire and manage one yourself.
In the US that has become genuinely hard. There are more than a million unfilled tech roles, a senior engineer now costs a quarter of a million dollars all-in for the first year, and agencies bill well over a hundred dollars an hour. Good software is still what moves your business forward, but the cost and the wait have both climbed out of reach for a lot of teams.
Avaib gives US businesses another way: a senior offshore team that works like an extension of your own. The same enterprise-grade quality a US agency offers, delivered at a cost-effective rate, with a real live window into your working day and code that stays yours.
Stuck between a US hire you cannot justify and offshore you are not sure you can trust? That is exactly the conversation we are set up to have.

The offer letter shows one figure. Here is what a single senior US software engineer actually costs a business in year one, built up piece by piece.
The average base for a senior software engineer in the US in 2026, and well past $180k in the Bay Area, New York or Seattle. This is the number most budgets start and stop at.
Health cover, retirement match, paid leave and the employer share of payroll tax typically add another 20 to 30 percent on top of the base before anyone writes a line of code.
Recruiter contingency fees run $35k to $53k for a single senior hire, and equity or a signing bonus can add $20k to $50k more just to win the person in a tight market.
A new senior engineer takes months to reach full output, and needs managing the whole time. That productivity gap is real cost that never shows up on the offer letter.
The true cost of one senior US engineer for the first year, before you have shipped a thing. A senior offshore team delivers the same capability for a fraction of it.
None of this means building less software. It means finding senior capacity that does not carry a US salary, a recruiter fee and a months-long search, and that is exactly what a senior offshore team is for.
Why Avaib
Plenty of teams can offer an offshore rate. Fewer can pair it with senior people, a real live window into your day and a team that stays. Our model is built to bring all three.
Avaib has delivered custom software since 2004, with 600+ projects shipped and 80%+ client retention. The senior experience a US company needs is already proven, with 10+ written references you can check.
No junior bait-and-switch and no revolving contractors. The engineers who build your software are experienced specialists, backed by a dedicated QA department and a 30-day post-launch warranty.
Around-the-clock teams set up so there is a genuine live window with Eastern, Central and Pacific hours, and one accountable contact in clear English, so an offshore team works like part of your own.
Senior engineers from around USD 25 per hour, the same capability US firms bill $100 to $250 an hour for, at a fraction of the cost, so the quality is enterprise-grade and the price is not.
Our senior engineers use advanced AI coding tools in a disciplined way to move through the build faster, directing and reviewing every step, so your software ships sooner without cutting corners on quality.
The code, data and documentation stay yours throughout, with full repository and admin access. There is never a hostage situation and never a reason to stay except that the work keeps delivering.
Want senior engineering for your US business without the price tag or the offshore gamble?

The first worry we hear from US teams is whether anyone will be awake when they are. Here is how the overlap works across the country, so offshore feels close, not distant.
Your morning lines up with the back half of our team's day, so stand-ups, demos and quick decisions happen live, not over a 24-hour email lag.
A dependable window each day for calls and screen-shares, with written updates waiting when you start and questions answered while you sleep.
We set a fixed overlap for live work with your West Coast hours, and the wider time gap becomes an advantage: work moves forward overnight so you wake to progress.
How we work
Understand what you need, assemble the right senior team, agree a clear plan, build and test in provable steps, then launch, warrant and support.
We start with what your software has to do, who will use it and what it connects to, in a plain-English conversation set around your US working hours, and send a free, no-obligation written estimate.
We staff your project with senior specialists in the technologies it needs, as a dedicated team with one accountable contact and a clear live window into your day.
You get a plain-English scope with defined outcomes and a fixed quote, so you know exactly what will be built, in what order and at what cost before any development begins.
We build in slices, each tested by our dedicated QA department and shown to you in regular demos, so you see working software early and problems are caught before they reach users.
We help you roll the software out, back it with a 30-day warranty and beyond, and stay on to extend it as your needs change, on a foundation and a team that remain yours.
Pricing
Senior engineers from around USD 25 per hour, the same capability US firms bill $100 to $250 an hour for, at a fraction of the price. We scope the work clearly up front so you get a fixed, plain-English quote, and every engagement leaves you owning your code, data and documentation outright.
For a clearly scoped piece of software, we agree the scope and the price up front, then deliver and test it against your real requirements, so there are no open-ended surprises.
A senior team that works as an extension of yours, that you can scale up or down as priorities shift, giving you real engineering capacity without US salaries or the long US hiring cycle.
Senior specialists who plug into your existing US team to add the skills or capacity you are missing, working to your process and tools rather than replacing them.
Every engagement is delivered by senior specialists under one accountable team, tested by a dedicated QA department, backed by a 30-day warranty, and you keep the code, data and documentation with no lock-in. Tell us what you are building and we will send you a free, no-obligation written estimate with a clear scope.

Common questions
A software development company builds and maintains custom software for a business: web applications, mobile apps, SaaS products, internal systems and the integrations between them. It provides the full capability, developers, testers, designers and project management, so you do not have to hire and manage all of that yourself.
Avaib is a software development company that serves the USA as a senior offshore team. You get the same capability a US agency offers, senior specialists, a dedicated QA department, clear communication and code you own, delivered at a cost-effective rate and with a genuine live window into your working day.
Locally it is expensive. A single senior US developer costs $250,000 to $300,000 all-in for the first year once benefits, payroll tax, recruiting and ramp are counted, and US software agencies bill $100 to $250 an hour or more. The salary alone captures barely 60 percent of the real number.
Avaib's senior engineers work at a cost-effective rate of around USD 25 per hour, the same capability at a fraction of the US price, and AI-accelerated delivery helps get you there faster. We scope the work clearly up front and send a free, no-obligation written estimate, so there are no open-ended surprises.
We run around-the-clock teams set up so there is a genuine live window with Eastern, Central and Pacific hours, for calls, stand-ups and same-day answers. You deal with one accountable contact in clear, professional English, not a stack of project managers that turns a quick question into a multi-day wait.
The wider gap with the West Coast becomes an advantage too: work moves forward overnight, so you wake to progress. You get written scopes, regular updates and demos throughout, so you always know what is being built and where it stands.
Yes. You own the code, the data and the documentation outright, with full repository and admin access and no SaaS lock-in. The software you pay for is yours to run, extend or move to another team whenever you choose.
Confidentiality and access controls are handled properly from the start, with the right safeguards and agreements for your project, so your intellectual property is protected throughout.
It does not have to be. The poor quality people associate with offshore usually comes from a broken buying model, choosing the cheapest quote and landing on junior developers juggling several clients, rather than from where the work is done. Senior offshore specialists build to the same standard as any US agency.
Avaib staffs senior engineers only, with a dedicated QA department testing every build and a 30-day post-launch warranty. Across 600+ projects and 80%+ client retention, the quality is why clients stay, some for close to a decade.
The cheapest offshore option is where most US teams get burned: juniors instead of the seniors promised, blown timelines and a build a US team then has to rescue at twice the cost. Nearshore buys you closer hours but at a rate much nearer US pricing than the savings usually justify.
Avaib sits deliberately in between: senior specialists only, a real live window into your day, one accountable team and code you own, at a genuinely cost-effective rate. You get the value of offshore without the gamble, and closer collaboration than the low-cost route ever delivers.
Tell us what you are building on the quote form and we will set up a short, plain-English conversation around your working hours. From there we send a free, no-obligation written estimate with a clear scope and a fixed price, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.
