Tegnol vs other agencies: what makes us different

Plenty of agencies can design and build software. Here is how our process, pricing and accountability compare with the typical agency experience.

Tegnol vsother agencies

Why agencies are hard to compare

Every agency website promises quality, speed and great communication. The differences only become visible once you are paying invoices: how pricing really works, who does the work after the sales call, how long it takes before anything is built and what happens after launch.

This page sets out how Tegnol works on each of those points, so you can compare like for like.

Pricing you can plan around, and proof before you pay

Many agencies bill by the hour or give loose estimates that grow as the project goes on. We agree a fixed quote before we start, based on a free discovery call and a review of your requirements.

You can also judge our work before committing anything: we design a free custom concept for your project, so you see our thinking and craft first and move forward only if it feels right.

Building in weeks, not quarters

Traditional agencies often spend months in discovery and documentation before building. Our Production Sprint compresses that into a focused 2 to 4 week engagement, with 20 days as the minimum for clearly scoped products. You see working software every week rather than slide decks.

We rebuild AI-generated products properly

More and more founders arrive with products built in Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or v0. Some agencies refuse to touch them; others patch new features on top of fragile code, which makes every future change harder.

We audit what you have, keep the product vision, design and data, and rebuild it on clean, custom code with real security and a proper architecture. That is the difference between a demo and a product real users can trust.

Accountability after launch

Launch is when real users and real attackers arrive. Every Tegnol project includes 30 days of free post-launch bug support, including patches for critical vulnerabilities, and most clients continue as Growth Partners with an ongoing team from $1,500 per month.

We also work with enterprises, redesigning and re-architecting legacy systems, ERPs and CRMs into secure, modern platforms without losing data, and we work all year round, holidays included.

Which should you choose?

When another agency might suit you better

  • You need a large team working on site in a specific city
  • You only need marketing campaigns, not product design or development

Why founders and enterprises choose Tegnol

  • You want to launch fast without cutting corners on security
  • You have an AI-built MVP that needs to become a real product
  • You want one accountable team from first design to life after launch

The verdict

If you want a fixed price, proof of quality before you commit, a fast and secure launch and one team that stays accountable afterwards, Tegnol is built for you. If you need a large on-site team or only marketing campaigns, another kind of agency may suit you better.
