Your app development partner in Berlin

Berlin produces more startups than any other German city, and most of them run on a runway measured in months. Local agencies quote EUR 90 to 150 an hour; a senior hire takes half a year to find and costs plenty once found. GTS Infosoft is the other option — a sixteen-year-old India studio whose senior engineers start around USD 20 an hour. Same seniority, different cost base, no pretending otherwise.

The clock helps more than people expect. India runs three and a half hours ahead of Berlin in summer, four and a half in winter, and our team works into the Indian evening. That puts your entire morning and a decent slice of afternoon inside shared hours. A 10am standup in Mitte is mid-afternoon for us — routine, not a scheduling feat. Questions get answered the same day, usually within the hour.

We've shipped 250-plus apps for 100-plus clients under ISO 9001:2015 process — documented requirements, traceable testing, handovers your CTO can actually audit. And because every Berlin build eventually meets the GDPR, we design for it from the first sprint: EU-region hosting if you want it, data minimisation, DPAs signed without drama. No Berlin office, no local shell entity. An honest offshore partner, priced like one.

What We Build for Berlin Companies

  • Fintech and payments apps

    onboarding flows, lending tools, banking features and payment integrations, built with the audit trail your compliance lead will ask about.

  • SaaS products and MVPs

    first versions built to raise on — multi-tenant from the start, shipped fast enough to matter for the next round.

  • E-commerce and D2C platforms

    storefronts, subscription mechanics and fulfilment integrations for brands selling across Germany and the wider EU.

  • Mobility and booking apps

    ride, rental and fleet products with live tracking, in-app payments and the offline tolerance a city network demands.

  • AI product features

    chatbots, document intelligence and LLM-backed features on Python and OpenAI — built for production traffic, not demo day.

Why Berlin Businesses Choose GTS

  • Runway arithmetic

    USD 20 an hour against EUR 90–150 locally. Across a year-long build, that gap funds months of extra scope — or simply months of extra life.

  • Your morning, live

    3.5 to 4.5 hours of time difference means standups, reviews and quick calls happen in real time, every working day.

  • Senior engineers, not a bench of juniors

    the people scoped onto your project are the people who build it, with sixteen years of studio delivery behind them.

  • GDPR taken seriously

    consent flows, deletion routines, EU-region hosting where you specify it — and DPAs signed before any data moves.

  • English as the working language

    Berlin tech already runs in English; so do we. No translation layer between your product manager and our engineers.

Industries We Know in Berlin

  • Fintech and neobanking

    Berlin turned the checking account into software. We build the onboarding flows, KYC steps and dashboards that scene runs on — priced so experiments don't need board approval.

  • E-commerce and D2C brands

    the city that produced Europe's biggest fashion platform still launches new brands weekly. We build their stores, apps and the logistics glue behind both.

  • Mobility

    scooters, car-sharing, charging, transit — Berlin's streets are a live test bed, and mobility software needs booking, GPS and payments to behave together under load.

  • B2B SaaS

    Berlin scale-ups sell software to the Mittelstand and far beyond it. We build the platforms, admin tools and integrations underneath those sales.

  • Music and creative tech

    audio tools, creator platforms and content products — a Berlin specialty since long before the startup wave arrived.

How We Work With Berlin Clients

  • Pick your model

    fixed-scope project, dedicated team, or engineers embedded directly in your existing squad — whichever fits the roadmap and the runway.

  • Sprints that land in your afternoon

    demos around 2pm Berlin time, live, with the next sprint's priorities agreed on the same call.

  • A direct line to the people coding

    Slack or Teams straight to your engineers. No account-manager filter between question and answer.

  • Paper sorted first

    NDA, DPA and a fixed, itemized estimate before development starts — and full IP assignment plus source handover when it ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have an office in Berlin?

No, and we won't invent one. We're based in Jodhpur, India, and serve Berlin entirely remotely. What you get instead of a local address is a 3.5-to-4.5-hour time difference that keeps your whole morning live — at around a fifth of what a Kreuzberg agency charges.

How do you handle GDPR?

As a build requirement, not an afterthought. We sign DPAs, deploy to EU regions when you specify it, put consent, export and deletion flows into the product itself, and keep access to personal data limited and logged. Your DPO sets the rules; we implement and document them.

What does the time difference feel like day to day?

Small. Your 9am is our 12:30pm in summer, and our engineers work into the Indian evening — so from your first coffee until mid-afternoon, both teams are online together. Messages sent at 10am Berlin time get answered in minutes, not the next morning.

How does your pricing compare with Berlin agencies?

Senior engineering from around USD 20 an hour, where Berlin agencies typically quote EUR 90–150 and freelance seniors sit above EUR 80. Estimates are fixed and itemized by feature before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

Can your developers join our existing team instead of running a separate project?

Yes — plenty of Berlin clients use us that way. Our engineers join your standups, your repo and your Slack, working your process rather than ours. It's a common way to extend a funded team without spending two quarters recruiting in a tight market.
