This seems way too cheap for what it's offering! If you're saving developer time and effort then you should be charging 100/mo at least.
I would spend $1k on the site and $29k for 6 months doing whatever I want.You would get the exact same results for $1k and $30k, the only difference would be the developer's profit.
if you're building a point of sale for $1000 flat, keep at itif you're building a notifier for recent job postings for $9/month, stop
How did you spend $40k on a webapp? Is this developer time that you had to pay out?
The question was about people running their own webapps. $6k is a reasonable price for a smaller project.
Hey, I'm a developer working in a startup. I can help you determine the right cost for your product. Reach out to me if you're interested. My email is in my profile.
$100 for 7 developers is "Awfully expensive"?
Millions to create that front-end?? Oh man please someone hire me I will only charge half that much. We are too spoiled.
How can it help you to speed up development but not be worth 10$/month. Your hourly rate can’t be that low.
IMO that is significantly low if you're being asked to develop it. I wouldn't do it for less than maybe 3x that priceThat's probably what it's worth on flippa or something--maybe that's what you meant.
