Software Development Outsourcing in Turkey
ARDE Software is a software development company in Ankara, Turkey. You can outsource web, mobile and AI development to us in three ways: as a fixed-scope project, on a time-and-materials basis, or with a dedicated development team booked by the month. We work in English or German and invoice in USD or EUR.
Three ways to outsource development to us
The engagement model decides how the work is scoped, billed and steered. All three start with a free consultation.
| Model | Best for | How it is billed | Who steers the work |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed-scope project | A product or feature with requirements you can define up front: an MVP, a customer portal, a mobile app. | One price for the agreed scope, set in the quote together with the schedule. | ARDE manages delivery; you approve designs and milestones. |
| Time and materials | Work whose scope will change along the way: ongoing development, iterations after launch, maintenance. | By the hours worked, at a rate agreed before the work starts. | You set priorities as the work progresses; ARDE manages the developers. |
| Dedicated team | Long-running product development that needs the same people month after month. | A monthly fee for the team, based on its size and roles. | You set the roadmap and priorities; the team works only on your product. |
Fixed-scope projects have published starting prices (see below). Rates for time-and-materials work and dedicated teams depend on the roles involved and are quoted after the consultation.
Working-hours overlap by city
Turkey uses UTC+3 all year round. Our office hours are 09:00–18:00 in Ankara, Monday to Friday. In your local time:
| City | Time difference | Our office hours (your local time) | Overlap with a 09:00–17:00 day |
|---|---|---|---|
| London, Dublin | Ankara is 3 h ahead (winter), 2 h ahead (summer) | 06:00–15:00 (winter), 07:00–16:00 (summer) | 6 h (winter), 7 h (summer) |
| Amsterdam, Berlin, Stockholm | Ankara is 2 h ahead (winter), 1 h ahead (summer) | 07:00–16:00 (winter), 08:00–17:00 (summer) | 7 h (winter), 8 h (summer) |
| New York, Toronto | Ankara is 8 h ahead (winter), 7 h ahead (summer) | 01:00–10:00 (winter), 02:00–11:00 (summer) | 1 h (winter), 2 h (summer) |
| Chicago | Ankara is 9 h ahead (winter), 8 h ahead (summer) | 00:00–09:00 (winter), 01:00–10:00 (summer) | None (winter), 1 h (summer) |
| San Francisco, Seattle | Ankara is 11 h ahead (winter), 10 h ahead (summer) | 22:00–07:00 (winter), 23:00–08:00 (summer) | None |
Winter and summer refer to standard and daylight saving time in each city; Turkey does not change its clocks. Where office hours do not overlap, work runs asynchronously and calls are arranged outside one side's usual hours.

How an Outsourced Engagement Starts
Free consultation
In a video call we go through your product, your team and what you want to hand over, and agree on the engagement model that fits.
Quote
For a fixed-scope project you receive a quote with scope, price and schedule. For time-and-materials work or a dedicated team, the quote sets out the roles, the rate or monthly fee and the start date.
Contract
The service agreement covers intellectual property, confidentiality and, where personal data is involved, data protection. International projects can be invoiced in USD or EUR.
Delivery
Fixed-scope projects run through design, development, testing and launch. Time-and-materials and dedicated-team work follows the priorities you set. Support requests are handled Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00 Turkey time.
Contracts, IP and Data Protection
Intellectual property: ownership of the source code is set in the service agreement. A full transfer of the source code and rights to you can be agreed there; unless the contract says otherwise, the intellectual property stays with ARDE Software and you receive the usage license defined in the contract.
Confidentiality: both parties keep trade secrets and confidential information private, during the engagement and after it ends.
Data protection: we work under Turkey's Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, Law No. 6698). Turkey does not have an EU adequacy decision, so if the work involves personal data of people in the EU or the UK, please raise it in the consultation: such transfers require appropriate safeguards, typically the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or, for the UK, the International Data Transfer Agreement.
Our terms and conditions are governed by Turkish law, and prices exclude VAT.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which engagement models does ARDE offer?
Three: fixed-scope projects with one price for an agreed scope, time-and-materials work billed by the hours worked, and dedicated development teams booked by the month.
How much does it cost to outsource software development to ARDE?
Fixed-scope web projects start at $500, mobile apps at $1,000, cloud and UI/UX work at $2,000, and e-commerce and AI projects at $5,000 (excl. VAT). Rates for time-and-materials work and dedicated teams depend on the roles involved and are quoted after a free consultation.
What is the difference between a dedicated team and time and materials?
With time and materials you pay for the hours actually worked, and the amount of work can go up or down from month to month. A dedicated team is a fixed group of people who work only on your product for a monthly fee, which suits long-running development.
Fixed price or time and materials: which should we choose?
Choose a fixed-scope project when you can describe what you need up front and want a set price and schedule. Choose time and materials when the scope is likely to change, for example for a product you are still shaping with its users.
Can a team in Turkey work with a company in the US?
Yes, with limited overlap. Ankara is seven to eight hours ahead of New York, so our office hours cover 09:00–10:00 Eastern in winter and 09:00–11:00 in summer. There is no overlap with West Coast office hours, so that work is asynchronous. With London the overlap is six to seven hours.
Who owns the source code?
Ownership is set in the service agreement. A full transfer of the source code and rights can be agreed there; unless the contract says otherwise, the intellectual property stays with ARDE Software and you receive a usage license.
