Dedicated Developer or Fixed-Cost Project: Which Should You Choose?

7 Nov 2026 · 3 min read

How to pick between our two main ways of working, based on how clear your requirements are.

Choose fixed cost if your scope is clear

If you know exactly what you need, such as a business website or an app with a defined feature list, a fixed-cost project works well. We agree on the scope, timeline and price before starting, and you pay in milestones.

Choose a dedicated developer if things will change

If your product is still taking shape, or you need ongoing work every month, a dedicated developer is more flexible. You give tasks directly, change priorities when you need to, and pay by the hour from $9/hour.

Not sure? Start with the free week

For dedicated hiring, the first week is free. Many decisions get easier once you've seen how someone actually works on your project.
