- We never reuse one client's work, data or ideas in another client's project.
- Your project is kept apart from every other project we run, by our team and by our AI tools.
- We bring our own general tools and know-how to every project; your bespoke work is never shared.
- It's written into your agreement with us.

A few engineers in Malé, since 2019.
Crayfish Pvt Ltd started in Malé in 2019. We are a few engineers.
Today our AI developers do the building. One of us is named on every project, checks every change and answers for it, so you always know who that is.
We work with businesses across the Maldives, from Malé to the outer atolls, and with teams abroad. We work on Maldives time (UTC+5).

Questions
What people ask first.
Does it cost anything to ask?
No. The questionnaire, the brief and the fixed quote are free, and the brief is yours to keep even if you don't go ahead.
What is an AI developer?
Software that writes code. At Crayfish it works one card at a time inside our process, and a senior engineer checks every change before you see it. You never deal with it unchecked.
Who checks the work?
A senior engineer at Crayfish, named on your project. Nothing reaches you, and nothing goes live, without their sign-off and then yours.
When do I pay?
Half when you approve the quote, half at launch. Prices are in MVR and exclude GST.
What does "from" mean?
Shops and apps vary. You get the exact figure in your brief, before you commit.
Can I make changes after launch?
Yes, through a care plan or as one-off changes from MVR 750. Each change is a card in Review with its price, and starts only when you approve it.
Who owns the site and the code?
You do: the code, the documents and the accounts.
I'm not in Malé. Does that matter?
No. Everything happens online in Review, from any island or any country.
Tell us what you’d like to build.
About ten minutes of questions. A written brief and a fixed price come back within 2 working days, free. You pay nothing until you say yes.
Just a quick question?
Ask it here. We reply by email within a working day.
