Pricing Model
This is what we factor in when taking on a new challenge
1. Platforms: iOS, Android, Web
The number of platforms needing support will influence the price. Each platform (iOS, Android, or Web) comes with its own level of complexity and unique requirements.
2. Number of Features and Complexity
The complexity of your platform matters. Features like logins, payment systems, custom user flows, real-time chats, and integrations are all taken into account.
3. Design
We usually work with ready-to-go designs provided by clients, translating them into a functional product. If no designs are provided, we can create sketches on the go. (Note: We're engineers, not designers, so design will evolve throughout the development process.)
4. Databases
Does your app need a database? If yes, we’ll determine the best fit—SQL, NoSQL, or others—based on your needs.
5. Real-Time Functionality
Does your platform require real-time features like chats, live updates, or push notifications? These functionalities can increase both development time and cost.
6. Heavy Asynchronous Tasks
Platforms with background processing requirements (e.g., file uploads, data pipelines, or scheduled tasks using independent tools) demand additional resources and planning.
7. Pricing
We base our estimates on the number of hours needed to complete the project. Here's the hourly breakdown:
- Infrastructure & DevOps: $100–$160 / Hour
- Backend Development: $100–$150 / Hour
- Frontend & Mobile Development: $80–$140 / Hour
Please, note that we don't take on legacy projects. We only build software from scratch to ensure clean and scalable architecture.
