Three ways to hire an app developer
There is no single right way to hire. Some Pasadena businesses want a fixed price for a clear project, others want a developer on call each month. Pick the model that suits your budget and how sure you are about the features.
Fixed-price project
Best when you know what the app should do. Written scope, agreed price, milestone payments.
Hourly developer
Best for small jobs, fixes and ideas that are still changing. Weekly time reports.
Dedicated developer
A developer who works only on your app, about 160 hours a month. Good for long roadmaps.

Find the right app developer: what to check first
Whoever you choose, in Pasadena or anywhere else, these checks will save you a lot of trouble:
- Get a written scope. A list of screens and features protects both sides and makes the quote meaningful.
- Ask to see live apps. Screenshots are easy to fake. Ask for apps you can download, or a test build you can install on your own phone.
- Ask who actually writes the code. Some agencies pass work on to other teams. You should know who is building your app.
- Expect regular test builds. You should be able to try the app every week or two, not only at the end.
- Pay by milestone. Avoid paying everything upfront. Pay for each stage after you have seen it working.
Ask us about any of these on your first call.
