01

Why Pakistan

Pakistan has a deep pool of engineers coming out of top universities like LUMS, a growing startup ecosystem, and a workforce that works in English every day. Karachi is on UTC+5, which means a full working day of overlap with the UK and Europe. For US founders, Pakistani evenings line up with East Coast mornings, so reviews and calls can happen live instead of across a 24 hour delay.

How Sprout takes the risk out of offshore

Most offshore horror stories come down to three things: unclear contracts, poor communication and work that quietly drifts. You contract with Sprout's US LLC in Albuquerque, are invoiced in USD, and all IP is assigned to you on payment. The team works from our registered company in Pakistan. Every week you get a written update on what shipped, what is next and what needs your decision. Goals and decisions live in shared docs, not in someone's head, so nothing depends on one person staying on the project.
03

The quality bar

Sprout's engineers were founding engineers at Kollegio AI, a Stanford-backed, Reach Capital-funded platform that serves more than 300,000 students. As a studio we have shipped 27+ products and hold a 100% Job Success Score on Upwork. We use AI agents for the repetitive work, like boilerplate, tests and first drafts of docs, so the people on your squad spend their time on architecture, product decisions and the hard parts.

What it costs

An embedded squad starts from $6,000 a month, sized to your roadmap with engineers, design and product management. A fixed-scope MVP starts from $12,000. The full breakdown, and how it compares to hiring the same team in-house in the US, is on our pricing page.
Is it safe to outsource software development to Pakistan?

It is as safe as the company you contract with. The main risks of offshore work are weak contracts, unclear IP ownership and poor communication, not the country. With Sprout you sign with a US LLC, pay in USD, own all the IP, and get a written update every week. The team works through Sprout's registered company in Pakistan, so you are not relying on an individual freelancer.

Who owns the code and IP when I hire developers in Pakistan through Sprout?

You do. Sprout's contract with you is through its US LLC, and on full payment all code, designs and other work product built for you are assigned to your company. The IP terms are written into your statement of work before any work begins.

How do time zones work with a team in Pakistan?

Pakistan is on UTC+5. That gives a full working day of overlap with the UK and Europe. For US clients, Pakistani evenings overlap with US East Coast mornings, which is when calls and reviews are usually scheduled. Work continues while you sleep, so you often wake up to progress.

How much does it cost to hire Pakistani developers through Sprout?

An embedded Sprout squad starts from $6,000 per month, sized to the engineering, design and product work you need. A fixed-scope MVP build starts from $12,000. The final price depends on team size and scope, and Sprout confirms it in writing before work begins.

How does Sprout make sure the quality is high?

Sprout's engineers come from startups like Kollegio AI, where they built a platform that serves more than 300,000 students. Every project uses code review, written goals and weekly updates, and the studio has shipped 27+ products with a 100% Job Success Score on Upwork. You see working software every two weeks, so quality problems surface early.

How do I pay a development team in Pakistan?

You pay Sprout's US LLC in US dollars, the same way you would pay any US vendor. There is no need to set up international transfers to individuals or deal with currency conversion on your side.
