Time-zone overlap with US hours

The team is in Islamabad, Pakistan. Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5 year-round. That is 10 hours ahead of US Eastern Standard Time and 9 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time, and 13 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time and 12 hours ahead of Pacific Daylight Time.

A US East Coast morning lines up with the evening in Islamabad. 9:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time is 7:00 p.m. in Islamabad. 9:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time is 6:00 p.m. in Islamabad. On the West Coast, 9:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time is 10:00 p.m. in Islamabad, and 9:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time is 9:00 p.m. in Islamabad. Calls can sit in that overlap. The contact form is the way to start one.

$25/hr and engagement models

The same three models are published on the pricing page. Each one uses the $25 per hour rate. A simple MVP is roughly 200-400 hours, about $5,000-$10,000, and it typically takes 6-8 weeks. Published ranges are estimates. The final quote depends on scope.

  • Fixed-price projects

    We estimate the hours for an agreed scope and multiply by $25. The ranges on the pricing page are planning figures. The final quote depends on scope.

  • Time & materials

    Hourly work is billed at $25 for each hour worked. This fits a project whose scope is still moving.

  • Dedicated developer or team

    A full-time month is about 160 hours. 160 × $25 = $4,000, so a dedicated developer is approximately $4,000 per month.

Hosting, app-store accounts, AI API usage, blockchain network fees, and third-party security audits are separate from the $25 per hour labor rate.
