Ways to hire mobile app developers in San Jose
How you hire matters as much as who you hire. These are the three ways businesses in San Jose work with us, and when each one makes sense.
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.

How to find and choose app developers in San Jose
Whoever you choose, in San Jose or anywhere else, these checks will save you a lot of trouble:
- 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 about support after launch. Phones and store rules change every year. Find out who fixes things after launch, and what it costs.
- Agree how you will communicate. Settle on a weekly call, a chat channel and one point of contact before work starts.
- Make sure you will own everything. The code, the designs and the Google Play and App Store accounts should be in your name, not the developer's.
- Expect regular test builds. You should be able to try the app every week or two, not only at the end.
Every point above is part of how we work by default.
