FAQ
Software Development Questions
It depends on scope. From Santo Domingo, DevLunch prices work per fixed 6-week cycle: after a shaping phase you get a written pitch with a fixed price and a delivery date, before any development starts. There is no hourly billing.
Most first versions ship in one or two 6-week cycles. Each cycle ends with working software in production, and larger products grow cycle by cycle.
