How does pricing work?
The blended rate is $25 per hour (USD) for design and development. A fixed-price estimate multiplies an hour range by $25. Time and materials bills $25 for each hour worked. A dedicated developer is about 160 hours in a month, which is 160 × $25 = $4,000, so the monthly figure is approximately $4,000 per developer. Published ranges are estimates. The final quote depends on scope.
What affects the cost?
The hour count sets the price. Hours rise with the number of features, how many platforms you need (web, iOS, Android), custom design, integrations, and security or compliance work. Hosting, app-store accounts, AI API usage, blockchain network fees, and third-party security audits are separate from the $25 per hour labor rate. A fixed quote is set once the scope is clear.
How long does an MVP take?
A simple MVP is roughly 200-400 hours, about $5,000-$10,000, and it typically takes 6-8 weeks. A larger MVP is roughly 400-800 hours, about $10,000-$20,000, and it typically takes 8-12 weeks. A more complex MVP can take 12-16 weeks when the scope grows, and the price follows the extra hours at $25 per hour.
What engagement and payment options are available?
You can choose a fixed price from an hours estimate, time and materials at $25 per hour, or a dedicated developer or team at approximately $4,000 per developer per month. The contract for that engagement sets when invoices are due.
