Frequently Asked Questions
Are these real prices?
Yes. These prices are based on actual projects I have delivered in 2025-2026 as a freelance developer in Barcelona, Spain. They reflect European freelancer rates which are 2-3x lower than agency rates for equivalent work.
Why are your prices lower than agencies?
No overhead. You work directly with the developer who builds your project. No project managers, sales teams, or office rent in the pricing. You pay for development time only.
Do prices include hosting and deployment?
Initial deployment is included in the project price. Ongoing hosting costs (EUR 10-50/month) are separate and paid directly to hosting providers like DigitalOcean or Hetzner.
