About
We think the pricing was the problem
Not the technology. Small businesses have needed custom software for decades. What stopped them was a price set by how long it used to take to write code.
Why Sideral exists
Every small business runs on a process somebody invented once and everyone has followed since. It lives in a spreadsheet, a notebook, a WhatsApp group and one person's memory. It works, right up until it does not.
The software to fix that has always been possible to build. It just cost forty thousand dollars, because that is what it took to pay a team of people to write it by hand over eight months.
That number has changed. Building software with AI in the loop is dramatically faster than it was, and we decided to pass that on as a lower price rather than keep it as margin. That is the entire business model.
So we price by feature, publish the price, and let a business start with one. If it works, they add another. Nobody has to bet forty thousand dollars on a guess.
How we operate
01
The price is on the website
If you have to book a call to find out what something costs, the price is being adjusted to what the seller thinks you can pay. Ours is published.
02
Your data is yours
Exportable at any moment, including the day you leave. This is a line we will not negotiate on, with any client, at any price.
03
Tested, not just compiled
This studio was founded by a test engineer. Software that builds successfully and software that works are different claims, and only one of them matters to you.
04
We tell you what it will not do
Every project has an unglamorous part where something does not fit. We would rather raise it early than discover it together at the end.
Who is behind this
Built by an engineer who tests things for a living
Sideral Software was founded by Juan David Dávila Mejía, a software quality and test automation engineer. The studio grew out of a simple observation from years of testing other people's systems: the software that fails is rarely the software that was built carefully and incrementally. It is the software that was specified all at once, built all at once, and verified at the end.
We work remotely with clients across the United States and Europe, in English or Spanish.
Tell us what your business still does by hand
That is almost always where the first feature lives. A short call is enough to find it, and it costs you nothing.
