To a large extent, the cost of development depends on the location of the programmer: in countries like the US or the EU, the hourly rate is much higher than in China or India due to market saturation. The leading region in terms of price/quality ratio is Central Europe. There, you can hire a coder for an average hourly rate of $40. Also, the price depends on the skills and previous experience of the programmer – the more experience, the higher the hourly rate. At the same time, it is obvious that seniors earn more than middle programmers.

The standard price is calculated as the multiplication of the developer’s hourly rate and the number of hours spent on the project (with the sum of the salaries of all participating programmers). The duration depends entirely on the composition of the team and the complexity of the project itself, so it is better to discuss this issue with the experts themselves.

The first step is to choose the hiring model that suits you. You can find a freelancer – it will be cheaper, but it will take a lot of time; hiring a recruiting agency will save a lot of time, but you have to pay attention to technical expertise, which is not very convenient for non-technical CEOs; or use the services of outsourcing companies – the Python app cost will be slightly more expensive due to the company’s markup, but the quality will be at a high level, plus you can save time.
