Nuklear: reviews, pricing, services and alternatives (2026)
Article published by MaaSil Inc, a company in the same sector. Public information checked on 18 October 2026; sources at the end of the article.
Nuklear is a digital agency based in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, which describes itself as a "hybrid structure between an IT services firm (ESN) and a tech studio". An ESN (entreprise de services du numérique, the French term for an IT services company) provides IT services and engineers to other businesses. Nuklear thus combines development, design, 3D modelling and the provision of IT talent. This article gathers the publicly available information: services, pricing, organisation, reviews and questions to ask before signing. It then presents several alternatives, including MaaSil, and the needs each one meets.

Who is Nuklear?
According to its legal notice, Nuklear is a SARL (limited liability company) under Malagasy law, with share capital of MGA 500,000 (Malagasy ariary). It is registered with the Antananarivo trade register under number 2022 B 01502, but the exact date of incorporation is not published. The website does not present a director: the legal notice only names a person responsible for publication.
The head office is in Ankorondrano, a district of Antananarivo. The website gives the Rayim building in the legal notice but "Sodiama Ankorondrano" in the footer. On LinkedIn, the company describes itself as a "French-speaking ESN". The About page refers to "two sister companies" without naming the second. The website shows a French number (+33) and a Malagasy number (+261), but no French entity is mentioned.
What services does Nuklear offer?
The home page presents Nuklear as a "Digital Agency Specialising in Tech, Product & UX Design". It highlights three main services, plus a 3D visualisation business for real estate.
Development and design
According to its website, Nuklear builds web and mobile applications, websites (showcase, e-commerce, SaaS), management software such as ERP or CRM systems, and artificial intelligence agents connected to Slack, Teams or a CRM. The design side covers UX/UI (user experience and interface), logos, brand guidelines and 2D, 3D and audiovisual content. The company says it works with an "agile" method, with short sprints, testing and user acceptance.
IT talent outsourcing
The IT talent and outsourcing page offers "qualified talent […] ready to join your teams, with full flexibility". The profiles listed are mostly technical and creative: web and mobile developers, DevOps engineers, QA testers, support technicians, graphic designers, 3D modellers, AI experts and cybersecurity consultants. For consultants, Nuklear advertises "senior profiles". The contractual terms are not described: the website specifies neither the type of contract (time and materials or fixed price) nor the duration.
Real-estate 3D visualisation
The 3D modelling page offers images, immersive videos and virtual tours for residential and commercial real estate. Options include branding, property development websites, printed materials and an "AI Data Room" aimed at investors.
How much does Nuklear cost?
Nuklear publishes no pricing for IT talent outsourcing: the relevant pages direct visitors to a quotation request. The minimum commitment period and set-up fees are not public either. An article on the Nuklear blog states, about IT services firms in Madagascar: "Rates there are often 2 to 3 times lower than in Europe". This statement concerns the country, not a Nuklear price list.
3D modelling is the only activity with displayed prices. The page lists "from" amounts: €1 per m² for modelling, €100 per image, €500 per video and €2,200 per month for a dedicated 3D expert. It does not say whether these prices are excl. VAT or incl. VAT.
Where do Nuklear's teams work?
According to the legal notice, Nuklear's teams work in Antananarivo; no other city or country is mentioned. The company's blog claims "only 1 to 2 hours of time difference" with Europe, and the team is described as French-speaking. No ISO 27001 (information security) or ISO 9001 (quality) certification is displayed.
What do reviews say about Nuklear?
The Trustpilot page for nuklear.io has no reviews as of 18 October 2026. No reviews were found on Clutch or GoodFirms, nor on Glassdoor or Indeed for employees. The home page displays a Google rating of "3.6/5" from 11 reviews, but for a listing named "Sodiama", a name that also appears among the client logos. It is therefore not established that this rating relates to Nuklear.
The home page displays eleven client logos, including Spark, Mazars, Captain and Design Auto. The website writes sometimes "Mazars", sometimes "Forvis Mazars", and sometimes "Chi Immo", sometimes "Chic Immo". The projects showcased also differ between the French and English versions of the website. The nature of the assignments is not specified, and no quantified case study was found.
What are Nuklear's strengths?
Based on the information published by Nuklear:
a broad offer from a single provider: development, design, 3D and IT talent;
varied outsourcing profiles, including consultants advertised as senior;
public prices for 3D, useful for estimating a budget;
a French-speaking team and a stated time difference of 1 to 2 hours with Europe.
Points to check before choosing Nuklear
Several pieces of information are not public. Here are the questions to ask before signing:
Contracting entity: who signs the contract, the Malagasy SARL or another entity? Ask for the company name, the NIF, the STAT and a recent register extract.
Pricing: what is the all-inclusive monthly or daily cost per profile, excl. VAT or incl. VAT, and in which currency?
Contract: time and materials or fixed price, minimum term, notice period, trial period, set-up fees, replacement of a profile?
Headcount: how many profiles are available in the role you need? LinkedIn indicates 11 to 50 employees.
Talent status: are they employees or freelancers? Who owns the intellectual property?
Security: what measures are applied (access, encryption, GDPR, confidentiality), and where is the data hosted?
References: can you speak to two clients on IT outsourcing assignments?
Continuity: what are the working hours, and what plan is in place in case of an internet or power outage?
Which companies is Nuklear suited to?
According to its website, Nuklear targets "startups and multinationals". Its offer may suit a company looking for a single provider for a project combining development, design and visual content. It may also interest a real-estate player that needs 3D renderings, or a technical team that wants to reinforce itself with French-speaking IT profiles. A company that requires a certification or a price known in advance will need to ask for them before committing.
What are the alternatives to Nuklear?
The choice depends on the need: a project handed over end to end, or staff integrated into your own teams. Our guide to IT outsourcing details the criteria to examine.
Bocasay
Bocasay offers "offshore software development" with dedicated teams, from Madagascar and Vietnam. According to an article in Le Monde Informatique from March 2019, the company, founded in 2012, had 110 employees at the time.
Esokia
Esokia presents itself as a web agency based in Paris, with technical teams in Mauritius, Madagascar and Belgrade. On its about page, it claims "around 120 experts". It may suit a company that wants a contact in Paris for a web project.
MaaSil Inc
MaaSil, the publisher of this article, provides consultants based in Madagascar under an employer-of-record model (Employer of Record, or EoR, type of secondment). According to MaaSil, these consultants are 100% integrated into the client's teams; MaaSil handles recruitment, payroll and HR follow-up. Its pricing is public: €55 to €100 excl. VAT per day for general profiles (about €1,150 excl. VAT per month) and €120 to €250 excl. VAT per day for senior developers (about €2,600 excl. VAT per month). MaaSil claims more than 100 consultants and more than 40 clients (see why choose MaaSil).
MaaSil suits SMEs, startups and mid-sized companies (ETIs, French mid-cap firms) that want to integrate dedicated staff, including in support and administrative functions. It is less suited to very short projects, to needs carried out exclusively in France and to multilingual call centres open 24 hours a day. Its presentation mentions neither 3D modelling nor fixed-price projects: for those needs, an agency such as Nuklear meets a different demand.
Criterion | Nuklear | MaaSil (according to MaaSil) |
|---|---|---|
Model | IT services firm and studio: projects and IT talent | Dedicated consultants integrated into teams |
Production country | Madagascar | Madagascar |
Head office | Antananarivo (Madagascar) | Paris (France) |
Profiles | IT, design, 3D, AI, SEO | Support functions and developers |
Outsourcing pricing | On quotation | €55 to €250 excl. VAT per day |
Commitment and trial | Not published | Not specified |
Certifications | None displayed | "Compliance with ISO 9001 standards" |
Stated headcount | 11 to 50 employees (LinkedIn) | More than 100 consultants |
