Radical transparency
Public pricing, open scope and weekly reports. You always know where your money is going.
Brazilian software engineering studio specializing in Custom Web Systems and Mobile Applications (iOS and Android). Modern engineering, clean code, cloud architecture and transparent pricing.
We are a custom software development company focused on delivering high-impact technology solutions for businesses pursuing innovation and accelerated growth.
With more than a decade in the market, we turn complex ideas into scalable digital products. Our track record spans professional photography with facial recognition, driver apps, fintech, e-commerce, integrations and high-volume mobile products.
We are not a generic agency. We are engineers shipping senior-level production code, with agile management included and full visibility into the process.
Four non-negotiable principles that guide every project, sprint and line of code.
Public pricing, open scope and weekly reports. You always know where your money is going.
MVP live in 4 to 8 weeks. Two-week sprints with demos, continuous deployment and iteration in hours — not months.
Reviewed, tested, documented code. Senior devs only, code review on 100% of PRs, 80% minimum coverage.
If we're late, you get the discount. We work with a contractual SLA and a penalty written into the clause — no excuses.
From three engineers in a coworking space in Barra to a cross-functional team serving clients in 6 countries.
Three engineers leave a multinational and found Sierra on a simple promise: deliver software on time and on budget. First client signed within 30 days.
We launched the Dedicated Team model, today our flagship offering. The team grows to 12 people and we take on our first clients outside Rio.
100% of deliveries move to cloud-native architecture on AWS and Azure. We win enterprise clients in healthcare and logistics.
We start serving startups in Portugal, Mexico and Colombia. The team reaches 40 people, 100% remote-first with headquarters in Rio.
We published our full price list on the site — rare in this industry. Qualified leads tripled in 6 months.
More than 60 senior professionals, 6 countries served, 98% satisfaction. And we keep growing — slowly, with quality.
“Good software isn't just pretty code. It's a product that holds up under real users, real billing, real operations and continuous evolution without becoming a burden for the client.”

Custom development at Sierra Tecnologia starts at R$ 15.000. The model suits companies that already have a defined scope and need full predictability on timeline and cost, and it delivers cloud-native architecture, tested and documented code and integration with legacy systems. Pricing is public: you don't have to sit through a meeting just to find out the investment range.
MVP development at Sierra Tecnologia starts at R$ 987 per month (with standard setup of R$ 9,870 in up to 10 installments), delivering the first working version in 30 days. We drastically lower the entry barrier so you can validate your idea quickly with real users. The monthly subscription covers ongoing maintenance, technical support, incremental improvements, and stability monitoring.
We practice complete transparency with no fine print: additional costs are exclusively those charged directly by official platforms. For mobile apps, Apple charges US$ 99/year on the App Store and Google charges US$ 25 one-time lifetime fee on Google Play. For cloud infrastructure (such as AWS or Supabase), you use free tiers at start and only pay real server usage when your user base scales.
We work with public pricing and clear rules: plans for Web Systems (Starter R$ 497/mo, Business R$ 897/mo, Enterprise R$ 1,697/mo) and Mobile Apps (MVP R$ 987/mo, Scale R$ 2,961/mo, Pro Max R$ 5,922/mo). The standard setup fee is 10x the monthly fee (payable in up to 10 installments), with a 12-month commitment for ongoing maintenance and technical support.
Historically, traditional agencies charged R$ 25,000 to R$ 60,000 due to bureaucracy and building everything from scratch. We created a modern engineering pipeline with pre-tested high-performance components, automation and clean architecture. We cut waste to deliver the first functional version in 30 days at the lowest possible cost with production quality.
Sierra Tecnologia focuses exclusively on Web Systems and Mobile Apps: Web Systems (from R$ 497/mo + setup), Mobile Apps iOS/Android/PWA (from R$ 987/mo + setup), and Dedicated Squad (R$ 35,000/mo for established companies requiring a full-time complete team with developers, design, and QA).
The proposal with scope, timeline and estimated price arrives within 24 business hours of you sending the brief. If it takes longer than that, the discount is yours. An NDA is available for anyone who needs to share project details before closing.
A delay turns into a discount for the client: Sierra Tecnologia works with a contractual SLA and a penalty written into the clause. Commitment to deadlines is one of the four principles of the house, alongside transparency on pricing and scope, delivery speed and production quality. Progress is tracked with weekly reports and a demo every sprint, so risk shows up before it becomes a delay.
On the front end, React, Vue.js and Angular; on the back end, Node.js, Laravel and Python; in cloud and infrastructure, AWS, Azure, Docker and Kubernetes; in data, PostgreSQL and MongoDB. The mobile team builds for Android, iOS and Flutter. Every delivery follows cloud-native architecture, with mandatory code review on 100% of PRs and a minimum test coverage of 80%.
Three products are live in production: Banlek, a professional photography ecosystem with online sales, facial-recognition search and real-time delivery; StopClub, a product for drivers and delivery couriers with more than 100,000 people in its community; and GigU, a copilot for rideshare drivers with more than 1 million downloads. In total there are more than 150 projects delivered over 10+ years, with 98% satisfaction.
