Pricing

Understanding hiring costs.

Considering hiring an in-house full-time team instead? A minimal software development team generally requires at least one software development manager and software developer. Below is a price breakdown estimate for hiring two full-time staff members.

For comparison, we find that most clients only need us for 45 hr / mo on average, or $94,500 / yr per resource, as an upper bound. Small projects often require only one resource.
