We curate the best Swift developers in the world, then provide them with Spaceboat's proprietary developer tools, design resources, and decades of industry expertise. Hire one developer, unlock the power of an organization.
Spaceboat's proprietary dev tools turbocharge our work.
Over the past decade we've built a suite of Swift development and design tools that help turbocharge our productivity. Our devs in the field always receive the latest and greatest of what's being cooked up by our industry veterans at the Spaceboat home base. The result is the hyper-productive engineers.
CI/CD
Our local scripts, Github Actions, XCode CI/CD tools, and AWS pipelines help streamline deployments of all of your Swift products.
Command Line
Our flagship command line product, Starterpack, is a developer companion that standardizes and dramatically speeds up new feature workflows.
Macros and Packages
Our custom macros help implement expressive and readable code in your apps. Leverage our UI component Swift package to bring world class UX into your app.
How it works
We focus on being the best at building with Swift.
We have a stacked roster of talented Swift devs who deploy seamlessly to your organization. Meanwhile, our senior developers at Spaceboat continuously build and improve on developer tools that make our field devs extremely productive. We focus entirely on being the best at Swift so that you can focus on your core business.
Getting started
We can get up and running in your organization in a week.
First we'll meet to scope our your needs. Then, we'll deploy our developers to your organization and support them with our team of in-house senior Swift devs. Similar to hiring a contractor, you'll receive a monthly invoice based on billable hours worked by Spaceboat devs in your organization. Unlike hiring a contractor however, Spaceboat will take care of everything else for you.

Selection process
You know a good developer when you work with one.

Global-scale experience
We've worked on some of the world's most used apps.
Our senior developers have experience building, testing, and releasing features to apps with millions of daily users. From news organizations, to mobile apps for hardware, we personally know what it takes to operate global app businesses, and can help your organization better compete.

Pricing and Billing
Simple, up front pricing and billing.
Bringing in a Spaceboat engineer is easy. You'll pay a monthly retainer and license fee, then be invoiced for billable hours for our developer's work at the end of the month. It's that simple. Also, if after seeing our Swift toolset in action you'd like to add more seats to your license, just talk with us and we'll get your in-house team set up with our tools.
$600 / mo / dev
Retainer & License
This is the monthly fee that covers licensing our software to your organization, as well as retaining our developers for your organization.
$155 / hr
Billable Hours
Our developers track all of their work to the nearest 15 minutes, separated by category, and linked to agile tickets if applicable. At the end of the month, we send you an invoice for the billable hours and a categorized time report.
Per seat
Additional Licenses
Just let us know if you want your team to also have access to our tools. We can set you up with additional licenses in that case, which are billed at a monthly or annual rate.
We don't play the outsource game.
Our entire team is based in the United States.
Outsourcing isn't good for our business. We believe in building amazing developer tools in-house, giving talented local devs a platform to shine, and contributing to our local community and economy. That's why we hire where we live (so far Detroit and Austin), and plan to keep doing that.
Superior stakeholder experience
We're all in the people business.
Stakeholder satisfaction and customer experience is everything to us, regardless of the industry or who the stakeholder is. This core principle drives how we operate our business, and has made us one of the most popular resources for Swift developers. Whether we are presenting directly to your clients or internally at your startup, we aim to have our professionalism and skill create lasting positive impacts. We're all in the people business, we just happen to write amazing Swift code.
