Hire an app developer

Hire an app developer, one architect, fixed price, your app in the store

One idea, one accountable software architect, one fixed price, and your own app in the App Store at the end. No agency overhead, no hourly rates, no vendor lock-in.

Hiring me to build your app means: you describe the problem, I deliver the finished app. A single experienced software architect plans, builds and operates it, instead of an agency team with handoffs, markups and rotating contacts. You need no technical knowledge; that's my job.

Fixed-price starting points

  • MVP, test the ideafrom $18,000 · 2-4 weeks
  • Production app, iPhone + Androidfrom $52,000 · 3-4 months
  • Full service, build + operatefrom $2,900/month

The final scope sets the price, fixed in writing before work starts. Binding quote after a free call.

How it works

  1. Free call (30 min). You tell me your idea in plain words. We scope it together.
  2. Fixed-price quote. Scope, price and date are set in writing before any code is written.
  3. Build. I build the app and keep you updated with clickable milestones.
  4. Handover. You get the app in the store plus full code, accounts and documentation.

Why an architect instead of an agency or freelancer

An agency spreads your project across changing hands and adds overhead. A freelancer often builds only a piece and is then gone. I plan, build and operate the whole app myself, one point of contact, one fixed price, full accountability. More in the agency vs freelancer vs solo architect comparison.

Real apps that are already live

You don't get promises, you get proof: several apps are live in the App Store today, from AI wine recognition (Sommelio) to field documentation (DokuAI). See all shipped apps →

Common questions

How much does it cost to hire an app developer?

A lean MVP starts from $18,000 and ships in 2-4 weeks. A production app for iPhone and Android with a real backend starts from $52,000, the final scope sets the price, fixed in writing before work starts. After a free call you get a binding fixed-price quote, no hourly rates, no open-ended invoices.

How long does it take?

An MVP in 2-4 weeks, a production-grade app with backend in 3 to 4 months. The exact date is fixed in writing before the build starts, a commitment, not a target.

Who owns the source code?

You do. You get the full source code, all accounts and the documentation from day one, with no vendor lock-in. You can continue with any other team whenever you want.

Do I get the app on both iPhone and Android?

Yes. A production app is built from one shared codebase for iPhone and Android. An MVP usually starts on one platform to get in front of real users faster.

Is hiring one person risky?

One person means no loss in handoffs between vendors, one point of contact and clear accountability. It is de-risked with a fixed price, your own code access from the start, milestone payments and a full handover.
