Context Studios is an owner-led, AI-native development studio in Berlin-Charlottenburg that builds web applications, mobile apps, backends and custom software.

FAQ on software development in Berlin

(01)What sets your software development apart from other agencies?
Three things: 1) We develop with AI assistance and are therefore typically up to 5–10× faster on routine tasks. 2) We build AI features directly into the software where they add value. 3) We are owner-led: you work directly with the founder and experienced developers.
(02)How long does a software project take?
For a first MVP we aim for about 4 weeks. We typically plan eight to twelve weeks for a full web app and several months for larger systems. After scoping you receive a milestone plan, which we review together in the weekly demos and adjust if needed.
(03)What does software development at Context Studios cost?
The price depends on the features, integrations and platforms your application needs to cover. Fixed price after scoping, proposal within 48 hours; we only publish prices for workshops.
(04)Can you take over and extend existing software?
Yes, as long as it is written in technologies we work with, such as React, Node.js or Python. We start with a code review and then propose modernisation or extension.
(05)Who owns the code?
Upon full payment you receive exclusive, unrestricted usage rights to the code created specifically for your project (T&C section 5). You may keep using pre-existing building blocks and open-source components to the extent required; we document all dependencies.
(06)Do you offer maintenance after launch?
Yes, optionally. Updates, bug fixes and new features are agreed in a separate maintenance contract. Independently of that, you get 30 days of free bug fixing from final delivery.
(07)Web app or native app: which fits?
If your users mainly work at a desk or should get started without installing anything, a web app is often enough. If you need the camera, offline use or push notifications, a React Native app pays off, for iOS and Android from one codebase.
