How much should I pay a developer? (alien.top)

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

5k$/per month is a pretty good price for senior developers from some non english speaking countries, although it may fall a bit short for even Semi-Senior US programmers.

At OpenScreens IT we offer nearshoring,(hiring from another country with a similar timezone), where the startup hires us to provide high quality talent, and work around communication issues by having a bilingual Project Manager as a main point of contact to communicate the requirements to and receive progress updates from the developers.

In addition by having a PM effectively working on your project part time, you increase the success odds of your project.

If you would be interested in something like this, feel free to setup a meeting with us, you can use the following link: https://openscreensit.com/schedule
