The true cost of an affordable custom API development team
Most agencies charge hourly and deliver late. We fixed that.
IRPR has shipped 200+ products with a 98% on-time rate. Our affordable custom API development team starts at $80,000 for a complete MVP delivered in 8-12 weeks. That includes architecture design, implementation, automated testing, and deployment on AWS or GCP.
The price is fixed from day one. In week two, after the Roadmap phase, you get a firm quote. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Your API includes rate limiting, monitoring with Datadog or Sentry, and a full CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions.
Affordable custom API development team vs generic dev shop
The difference is in the detail.
A generic shop charges hourly with no guarantee of completion. They hand off code with no documentation and no CI/CD. Your API goes live with no monitoring and no SLA.
IRPR delivers a production-ready API with doc, tests, monitoring, and a fixed price. We handle HIPAA and PCI compliance so you can sell to regulated industries.
- hourly billing with no cap
- no written API specification
- no automated tests
- no CI/CD pipeline
- no monitoring or alerting
- you own the code but not the docs
- fixed price from $80K
- OpenAPI 3.0 spec delivered first
- 100% test coverage on critical paths
- GitHub Actions CI/CD included
- Datadog or Sentry monitoring set up
- full documentation and Postman collection
How our affordable custom API development team builds your API
Four phases, no fluff, fixed timeline.
Every project starts with a 1-week discovery sprint. You talk directly to senior engineers who have built APIs for Stripe-level scale. By week 2, you have a Roadmap with a fixed price and timeline.
Build starts immediately. You see working endpoints every Thursday. By week 8 or 12, your API is deployed, documented, and production-ready.
