I’m technical, I just simply don’t have to time to completely work on my app idea.

I have a wireframe, requirements, and designs complete. It’s pretty simple and can exist as a web based application for now.

Considering I have all of this, but I don’t want to go in and code it all, how much should I expect to pay someone off fiverr?

Think web based app, cloud hosted, a database; some storage, cloud functions, security, Active Directory, and that’s literally it.

I was thinking 2 devs, front end/UX and back end, paying $5k each; expect a delivery or working product in 15-30 days (the app is terribly simple). Is that too high or too low?

Thoughts?

Thanks

    I think your budget is reasonable, but your time expectation is not.

    I’ve hired many freelancers and their projects tend to take longer than expected. They’ll do something, ask you to test, you’ll find errors or code quality problems, they’ll fix and repeat. You can get good quality work out of freelancers if you are patient, but if you are in a hurry, you’ll be disappointed.

    If you are in a hurry, it is better to do it yourself with ChatGPT’s help. Getting code that you can test within milliseconds instead of weeks, makes ChatGPT much better than a freelancer.

    If you really want to use a freelancer and want it done fast, then you’ll probably need to pay the freelancer per hour and will have to budget $50 per hour or more.
