// DUBAI, UAE

A software development company in Dubai that ships in weeks, at a fixed price.

Authect is a Dubai-registered studio building custom software, websites and production AI for founders and companies in the UAE and worldwide. Senior engineers, a fixed price agreed upfront, most projects live in 3–6 weeks, and no VAT on your invoice.

What you get from a Dubai-based studio

  • A UAE company you can contract with directly: Authect - FZCO, IFZA trade licence 70505, registered at Dubai Digital Park, Dubai Silicon Oasis.
  • No VAT and no hidden tax charges on invoices; payment by international bank transfer, Stripe or Whop.
  • Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4) working hours, which overlap Europe's full day and Asia's afternoon, so you get same-day answers from either side.
  • Interfaces in Arabic and right-to-left layouts when your product needs them, alongside English, Spanish, Russian and Lithuanian.
  • Senior engineers only, working in your Slack and tools; no account managers between you and the people writing the code.

What we build for UAE companies

Every project, whichever service, includes a cybersecurity audit before launch, legal and compliance basics (privacy policy, terms, cookie consent, GDPR-ready handling of personal data), SEO and Core Web Vitals, unlimited revisions within the agreed scope, and full ownership of the code and infrastructure.

How a project runs

  • Week 1: a 15-minute call, then a one-page scope with a fixed price and a confirmed timeline. Nothing starts until you approve it.
  • Build: a senior team works in your tools with a preview link updated every week.
  • Launch: production release with monitoring, documentation and the repository handed over.
  • After: keep us on for the next feature or run it yourself. No long contracts.

Pricing for UAE and GCC clients

Every project is priced individually as a fixed quote. Focused builds (a website, an app, a defined feature set) are quoted as a Starter Project; complex or multi-phase products as a Full Build with dedicated capacity. Invoices are issued by a Dubai free-zone company with no VAT added, and you can pay by bank transfer, Stripe or Whop.

If you are comparing quotes from agencies charging by the hour, ask each for the total to a working product. That is the only number that matters, and it is the number we commit to before starting.

Who it's for

  • Founders in the UAE launching a SaaS product or app who want a first version live in weeks.
  • Established UAE businesses replacing spreadsheets and disconnected tools with one internal system.
  • Companies abroad that want a partner in the Gulf time zone with a UAE legal entity.
  • Teams adding AI features to an existing product without a runaway API bill.

Common questions

Is Authect a licensed UAE company?
Yes. Authect - FZCO holds IFZA trade licence 70505 and is registered at Building A1, Dubai Digital Park, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai. Contracts and invoices are issued by that entity.
Do you work with mainland companies as well as free-zone companies?
Yes. We work with any UAE company, whether mainland or free zone, and with companies abroad. The legal structure of your company doesn't change how we work.
How much does software development cost in Dubai?
Hourly agency rates in the UAE range widely, from roughly $25 to $100 per hour, which makes totals hard to predict. Authect quotes a fixed price per project after a 15-minute scoping call, so you know the total before work starts. Small updates take 1–2 days, landing pages 1–2 weeks, apps 3–6 weeks, AI products 4–8 weeks and full platforms 8 weeks or more.
Can you build in Arabic?
Yes. We build right-to-left, Arabic-language interfaces and multi-language products; this website itself runs in Arabic, English, Spanish, Russian and Lithuanian.
Do you charge VAT?
No VAT is added to invoices from Authect's Dubai free-zone entity. The fixed price you agree is the price you pay.
Can we meet in person in Dubai?
Yes, by arrangement. Most work happens in your Slack and tools with weekly preview links, but a kick-off or review in person in Dubai is possible.
