# Fluids Digital vs traditional software agencies

Traditional software agencies often start with large scopes and long planning cycles. Fluids Digital builds the product and launches it so you can test the market.

§ Side by side

|  | Fluids Digital | Traditional Agencies |
| --- | --- | --- |
| How we work | Agree the product, then build it | Scope grows as you go |
| What you get | A live product you can test | A long plan, then a long build |
| AI integration | Added where it changes the workflow | Often sold as a separate phase |
| Team size on your project | Small senior pod (2–3 people) | Layered: PMs, designers, juniors, QA |
| Account / project managers | Direct line to the engineer | Multiple intermediaries |
| Tech stack | Modern: Next.js, Supabase, Vercel | Often legacy PHP/.NET monoliths |
| Code ownership | 100% on your GitHub | Sometimes locked to agency hosting |

§ Choose Fluids when

- You want to launch in weeks, not quarters
- You want a fixed budget you can defend to investors/board
- AI is a core part of your product, not a footnote
- You want a small senior team you can talk to directly

§ Choose Traditional Agencies when

- You need a 100+ person rollout with formal RFP processes
- You require on-site teams in your office full-time
- Your procurement only accepts hourly billing structures

§ FAQ

## Common questions

### Do you actually build the full product?

Yes. Screens, accounts, database, payments when needed, and launch. Then you test it with customers.

### What if I want to add something later?

Small changes are normal. If you add something bigger, we add it as a next phase — before we start it.

### Can you handle large procurement requirements?

Yes — we sign MSAs, NDAs, and PDPL data-processing agreements. We have a registered Saudi entity (CR 7053790726).

## Still on the fence?

A short call. We'll tell you honestly if we are not the right fit.
