Gigster

About Gigster

Gigster is an Austin-based on-demand software development platform that assembles vetted fractional teams for custom software projects, typically on 3 or 6 month contract terms. With a $100-149/hr rate and starting project costs around $52,000, Gigster serves mid-market and enterprise companies that need a ready-to-deploy engineering team without the overhead of agency management. The platform model allows clients to scale team composition and duration based on project needs, offering a flexible alternative to traditional staff augmentation or managed development agencies.

Who Gigster Is Best For

Gigster suits organizations that need to start a project quickly without building a full internal team or committing to a long-term agency retainer. The fractional team model works best for product owners who can provide requirements and want a structured engagement with a defined end state. The $52K+ starting cost positions Gigster toward companies with defined budgets and clear project scopes rather than exploratory MVP work.
