Frequently asked questions
How the comparison works, what the numbers mean, and what to do next.
The first number is what a typical agency or dev shop would charge for your project — based on 2025 data from Clutch.co and GoodFirms. The second is my actual rate. The comparison exists so you can evaluate any quote you receive, whether from me or anyone else. Informed clients make better decisions.
It reflects mid-range US and EU dev shops — not the cheapest offshore rate, not the most expensive enterprise firm. The ranges come from 500+ real agency contracts aggregated by Clutch.co and GoodFirms in 2025. Your actual agency quote will vary by location and specialization, but these ranges give you a solid baseline to negotiate from.
The price shown is my published rate, not a ballpark. Websites are fixed-price starting from $2,999. Web apps and AI automations run as monthly subscriptions. The only variable is scope: a quick email exchange after your quote confirms the exact number — typically within 10% of what the calculator shows.
All my services are either fixed-price or subscription-based — never hourly. Timeline tells us how long we work together, not what you pay per cycle. If you need something shipped faster, we discuss scope prioritization, not a rush surcharge.
I'll respond within 24 hours — a short email with a few scoping questions or a direct proposal if your project is straightforward. No discovery call required, no sales pitch. Just a clear written scope and price.
Pick the closest match and complete the calculator anyway. The result gives you a useful reference point. Then request a quote and describe your situation — I'll scope it specifically and give you the exact number.
Yes. Subscription services — web apps, AI automation, and fractional CTO — can be paused or cancelled at any time after the first month. Fixed-price website projects are fully scoped and agreed upfront, so there are no mid-project surprises.
Yes. Every engagement starts with a 14-day money-back period. If you're not satisfied in the first two weeks, you get a full refund — no questions, no contract to fight through.
