Hayaiti vs. Big consulting

EPAM, Globant, Thoughtworks, and Accenture-tier firms ship serious systems for Fortune 500 budgets. They have process, scale, and global delivery — but minimums are six to seven figures and timelines are quarters.

Our take

When Hayaiti is the better choice

You know what you need (landing page, MVP, internal tool, audit), you want to see numbers before you talk to anyone, and you want it shipped in days not quarters.

You're also not paying for slack. Every SKU is fixed price, fixed timeline, source code in your repo from day one. If we miss the deadline, we refund 25% — that risk lives with us, not you.

Worked example

If you needed a multi-quarter platform build

Through Big consulting: you'd run a formal RFP, sign a master services agreement, and onboard a delivery pod over 4–8 weeks. Output is enterprise-grade with full governance. Minimums start in the high six figures.

Through Hayaiti: you'd pick the matching SKU on our pricing page, see the price and timeline before any call, pay 50% to start, and have working code in your repo on day one. We refund 25% if we miss the published deadline.

Both approaches work. Pick based on which trade-offs match how you want to operate.
