Websites and web apps
Corporate sites, marketing sites, dashboards, and the login, payment and admin layers behind them. We work in your stack, not ours.
We are a two-person studio in Ankara that takes subcontract build work for agencies. You scope it with your client, we build it, you ship it. We do not appear in your deck, we do not join your client's inbox, and we do not follow up with them after the project ends.
Why agencies keep a second partner
Most agencies already have a development partner, and there is no reason to move work that is running fine. We are usually the second one: the one you call when your main team is booked, when two projects land the same week, or when a client asks for something your team has not built before. Nothing has to change on your side for us to be useful.
What we build
Mobile apps
React Native and native iOS, taken through review and shipped to both stores under your client's developer account.
Custom internal software
Internal tools, integrations, migrations, and the unglamorous work that keeps a retainer alive after launch.
AI features
Assistants that answer from a client's own documents, agents that read internal tools and act on them, and the plumbing that makes them reliable rather than a demo.
How the process works
1
You scope it.
You talk to your client and agree what is being built. We can sit in on that call as your team if it helps, using your email address.
2
We quote it.
Fixed scope, fixed price, and a date. You mark it up however you price your own work. If it cannot be done in the time you have, we say so before you commit to your client.
3
We build it.
Your PM, your tracker, your repo if you have one. We are in Ankara at UTC+3, so if you are in the US, work lands overnight and you review it with your coffee.
4
You ship it.
You hand it to your client as your own work. We stay available for fixes and the next phase, and we stay invisible.

How we price
- ↗$40 to $50 an hour, depending on the work
- ↗Or fixed price, if you would rather quote your client a single number

- ↗Retainers start at $1,800 a month for 40 reserved hours

Why Comma Labs?
Two people, both senior, both write code. You are not getting a salesperson in front of a team of 200 you will never meet, and you are not getting the cheapest quote in your inbox either. We are early on public case studies, because most of what we build sits under NDA or inside someone else's brand. That is the nature of this work. So instead of a portfolio wall: get on a call and we will screen share something we built end to end, code and architecture. That tells you more about whether we can build your thing than a case study would.
Frequently asked questions
Will you contact our client?+
No. We sign a non-solicitation clause before we start, and it is also just not our business model. If you want us on a client call we join as your team, with your email address and your title.
How do we start without taking a risk?+
One small paid piece, usually one to two weeks and a single deliverable, and usually under $1,000. That is small enough that trying us is not a decision you need to think about, and it still tells you everything about how we communicate and whether we hit dates.
What are your rates?+
$40 to $50 an hour depending on the work, or fixed price per project. Most first engagements land between $1,500 and $5,000 over two to four weeks. Retainers start at $1,800 a month for 40 reserved hours. If you bill your client at $150 an hour, that leaves your margin where you want it.
We already have a development partner.+
Most agencies do, and we would not suggest moving anything that is already working. We are usually the second partner: the overflow one, or the one you call when a project needs something your main team has not built before.
What are your hours compared to ours?+
We are in Ankara at UTC+3. If you are in London we overlap with your entire working day. If you are on the US East Coast we are online well before you start, so work you asked for yesterday is waiting when you open your laptop.
Who owns the code?+
You do, or your client does, whichever your contract says. We hand over the repository, the accounts and the credentials at the end of the engagement, and we do not keep anything running that you depend on.
Do you work with agencies outside the US and UK?+
Yes. Most of our conversations start in the US, the UK, Canada and Australia because of the language and the timezone fit, but the model is the same anywhere.
Have something you would rather not staff internally?
Fifteen minutes is enough to find out whether we are useful to each other. Come with a project you turned down, or one sitting in your backlog. No deck, no pitch.
