DKC Software

DKC Software is a Polish development shop with 15 years in the market and 100 active clients. The team has delivered over 60 projects across finance, retail, education, and tourism—mostly to UK startups and mid-market firms. They've built a distinctive business model around subscription-based software development (SDaaS), where clients buy story points and sprints rather than hourly time. Pricing starts at £99 for a single bug fix and ranges from £599 to £1,499 per month for ongoing development capacity.

Services and capabilities

DKC's core offering is Software Development as a Service, sold in three tiers: a Starter plan (£99 for one bug fix), Light (£599/month for 8 story points), and Regular (£1,499/month for 20 story points). A single month of Regular capacity yields roughly six well-defined features plus two trivial changes. Tasks sit in a backlog that clients manage via DKC's platform; the company works on them one at a time according to priority, and delivers a video walkthrough of completed work monthly or biweekly.

They work with React, PHP, TypeScript, Node.js, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Optional add-ons include QA, UX/UI design, and DevOps. Clients can engage directly with DKC's project manager or slot the team into their existing engineering structure. The model comes with no long-term contract—cancel anytime, money-back guarantee if unsatisfied.

Beyond SDaaS, DKC offers bespoke software development, fractional development (part-time teams), web design, e-commerce builds, branding, and cybersecurity work.

Notable work

A pharmaceutical and biotech client (UK-based) had DKC overhaul their development processes and build a new Next.js application while migrating a legacy single-page app. The £50,000 project ran three months and delivered on time. The client reported improved operational efficiency, fewer system issues, and smoother workflows. DKC also introduced new customer-facing features that drove a noticeable uptick in user engagement and retention.

For a UK fintech startup focused on travel discovery, DKC built a greenfield content platform in Next.js using Contentful CMS, MSAL Azure authentication, and Material UI. The nine-month, £130,000 project launched a secure, content-rich site for finding local pubs and attractions. The site stayed within budget and timeline, with authentication and content management that let the client update independently.

How they work

Clients add tasks to a dashboard, DKC's project manager allocates workload, and the team works through the backlog in priority order. Delivery happens monthly or biweekly, accompanied by a video showcase. The fixed-price, story-point model means you're not paying for hours; you're purchasing a set amount of development capacity. No hidden fees, no contracts. One Five Stars executive (Tony Krasovic, head of development) praised the fixed-price subscription for delivering "tangible business results" and "unbeatable value."

The company uses Agile and Scrum methodologies, managed by certified project managers. They emphasize transparent budgeting (cost ranges from minimum to maximum), product stability through architecture selection and load testing, and rapid onboarding via in-house domain experts.

Team and credentials

DKC Software was founded in 2009. The source does not specify current team size, but they reference "in-house subject matter experts" and a dedicated team. The company lists certified project managers and domain expertise across finance, retail, education, and tourism sectors. No certifications (ISO, SOC 2, etc.) are mentioned in the source. English proficiency appears solid given client testimonials and project delivery to UK firms.

How they differ: DKC's subscription model inverts the typical offshore engagement. Rather than hiring developers as a line item, you're buying capacity by the story point—closer to SaaS than traditional outstaffing. That appeals to product teams and small shops that want predictable costs and no recruitment overhead, but it assumes clear sprint discipline on the client side.
