One point of contact, a clear day rate, a fast prototype, then useful iterations.
Instead of an agency quote running into six figures, I work at a transparent day rate and tell you honestly what fits your budget. Day rate: €500 or $600.
Agency quotes for an app across several platforms commonly run from $70,000 to $300,000. That figure adds up the backend, design, project management, and several people, each carrying their own margin. For a founder or an SMB, the budget and timeline become hard to predict, and a large share of the cost goes into coordination rather than code.
I charge €500 or $600 per day, with no agency markup. You follow the work in identified days and keep control of what gets prioritized. That transparency makes the budget predictable: you know what a feature costs before you start it, and you can pause or push it whenever you want.
Working solo, product and technical decisions happen directly with you, without a relay or a long kickoff cycle. That cuts the hidden cost of communication, which is often what inflates quotes with many contributors. You talk to the person who writes the code, so a question gets an answer the same day instead of a week later.
I start with a working prototype that proves out the core of the app, then iterate from real feedback. This limits the risk of paying for a large build before checking that the idea holds up. And I tell you plainly what fits a given budget, even if that means deferring some features to a later phase.
The total depends on scope, but the basis is simple: €500 or $600 per day, with no agency markup. We estimate the number of days together once the need is scoped.
Yes. I regularly pick up an existing codebase to finish it or get it back into shape, which often saves you from paying for a full rebuild.
Not quite double, since some of the logic is shared, but each native platform needs its own UI and finishing work. I price that clearly, platform by platform, so there is no surprise.
I focus on native iOS and Android. For the backend or heavy design, I work with your providers or can point you to good ones, without billing for needless coordination.
The fixed day rate and the fast prototype let you measure the real pace very early. You keep control of priorities and can adjust at any time.
I tell you plainly and propose a reduced scope that stands on its own, keeping the rest for a later phase. A solid core app beats a long list of half-finished features.
Send the product context, target platform, repository state, and timing. I will tell you quickly if I can help.
