Your pricing questions, explained

Here’s what you need to know about our pricing, based on the questions we get asked the most.

Why do I see only one price estimate when multiple experts apply to my project?

We like things simple. You get one estimate based on our $80–$120 USD hourly rate. Then we add a service fee and spice it up with a quality guarantee for peace of mind. Simple and works like a charm.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We currently accept all major credit cards, bank wires, and PayPal.

Do I have to pay in advance?

Yes, once your project is fully scoped and you hire your preferred expert, you deposit the total cost of your project into a secure escrow system before the project work starts. Your money is safely and securely stored until you’ve marked the project as complete. Once that’s done, the money is released to the developer’s account. This ensures that you have a committed developer for your project and also protects your funds in the event that things don’t work out.

Higher budget projects can also be broken down into milestones, so you fund each individual milestone as opposed to the full project cost ahead of time.

Your pricing is outside of my budget. Are you really worth the cost?

Some other developer marketplaces can beat our pricing with less experienced talent, less quality focus and little to non-existent customer support. We’ve heard from many of our customers that projects posted on other platforms often go poorly. As is the case with most major buying decisions, you get what you pay for. At the end of the day, we ultimately believe that

What if I have more questions?

We’d be happy to answer them.
