Hire a developer or a full app team

There is no single right way to hire. Some Austin 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

Know the total before we start

Best when you know what the app should do. Written scope, agreed price, milestone payments.

Hourly developer

Pay only for hours worked

Best for small jobs, fixes and ideas that are still changing. Weekly time reports.

Dedicated developer

Your own developer, monthly

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

Most app projects that go wrong could have been saved by asking a few questions at the start. Before you hire anyone, check these:

  • 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.
  • Pay by milestone. Avoid paying everything upfront. Pay for each stage after you have seen it working.
  • Get a written scope. A list of screens and features protects both sides and makes the quote meaningful.
  • Sign an NDA if your idea is sensitive. Any serious developer will sign one before you share the details.
  • Ask about support after launch. Phones and store rules change every year. Find out who fixes things after launch, and what it costs.

Ask us about any of these on your first call.

Why Austin businesses hire a remote team

Weekly updates

Every week you get a short update and a test build you can try on your own phone.

Small team, direct contact

You talk to the people actually building your app, not a sales team.

Help after launch

We stay on for bug fixes, store updates and new features on a simple monthly plan.

You own everything

Code, designs, store accounts and data belong to you from day one.

Staying in touch from Austin

When it is 9:00 AM in Austin, it is 7:30 PM in India during daylight saving time and 8:30 PM the rest of the year. Our team is available from 10 AM to 11 PM India time, which leaves about 2 hours of a normal Austin working day for live calls. Most clients pick one fixed weekly call and use email or chat for everything else.

How app pricing works for Austin clients

Prices are determined by the complexity of your app and the time involved. Every app is different, so we quote each project on its own.

Post your project with a short description and we will send a clear, no-obligation quote, usually within one working day.

Post your project

What affects the price

  • How many screens and user types the app has
  • Features such as payments, chat, maps or live tracking
  • Android, iPhone or both
  • How detailed the design is
  • Connections to other software, such as your CRM or Google Sheets

Questions from Austin businesses

How long does it take to build an app?

A small app usually takes 6 to 10 weeks. Larger apps with several user types take 3 to 5 months.

Are you an app development company or freelancers?

We are a small app development company. You can hire us like a freelancer, by the hour, or for a full project with design, testing and support.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes. We are happy to sign an NDA before you share details of your idea.

Will my app follow US privacy rules?

We build in privacy basics like clear consent, data deletion requests and accurate App Store privacy labels. For health or finance apps we plan for the extra rules early.
