Every project is quoted based on scope, but here's a realistic starting point.
A straightforward look at where HM/DEV fits compared to the usual options.
| Factor | Random Freelancer | Agency | HM/DEV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct communication | Sometimes | Rarely — account managers | Always, directly with the developer |
| Pricing transparency | Varies widely | Often bundled, hard to break down | Clear tiers, no hidden fees |
| Turnaround speed | Depends on the person | Slower — multiple approval layers | Fast, single point of contact |
| Post-launch support | Often disappears after payment | Available, usually at extra cost | Available, discussed upfront |
| Cost for small business | Can be unpredictable | Usually highest | Priced fairly for small budgets |
