Why choose IRPR as your affordable custom API development firm
We deliver production APIs faster and cheaper than most agencies because we use proven patterns and senior engineers.
IRPR has shipped over 200 products across 50 countries. Our engineers average 10+ years of experience. We use a fixed-price model so you know the cost upfront. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Every API project starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase. We define endpoints, data models, auth flows, and deployment architecture. You get a fixed quote before any code is written. Typical timelines are 8-12 weeks for a complete API.
How IRPR compares to other API development firms
Most agencies charge by the hour and deliver late. IRPR gives you a fixed price and a firm timeline.
Generic dev shops often start coding without a clear spec. They use junior developers and change scope mid-project. You end up paying more for less.
IRPR works differently. We define the full API contract in the Roadmap phase. Senior engineers write every line of code. We ship on time or we discount your next project.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Junior developers on your project
- No fixed timeline
- Scope creep without change orders
- No compliance expertise
- You don't own the code
- Fixed price from the Roadmap phase
- Senior engineers only (10+ years avg)
- 8-12 week delivery guarantee
- Scope locked in week 2
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 ready
- Full code ownership
Our API development process: from idea to production
We follow a 4-phase process that eliminates surprises and delivers a working API fast.
Phase 1 is the Roadmap. We map every endpoint, data model, and integration. You get a detailed spec and a fixed price. Phase 2 is the build. Our engineers code the API in 6-10 weeks using your preferred stack.
Phase 3 is the release. We deploy to staging, run load tests, and fix any issues. Phase 4 is the handoff. You get source code, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring dashboards, and documentation.
What ships with every API project
Every API we build comes with production-ready infrastructure and documentation.
You don't just get code. You get a complete deployment package. We set up CI/CD, monitoring, error tracking, and API documentation. Everything is ready for your team to maintain.
We also include a 30-day warranty. If anything breaks or needs tweaking, we fix it at no extra cost. After that, we offer ongoing support at a monthly rate.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- API documentation with Swagger/OpenAPI
- Postman collection for testing
- Monitoring with Datadog or Grafana
- Error tracking with Sentry
- Load test results with k6
- Deployment scripts for AWS, GCP, or Azure
- 30-day warranty with Slack support
