How Much Does Python Development CostDevelopment Cost
Get a fixed price for your Python project. No hourly billing, no surprises.
IRPR builds custom Python applications using Django, Flask, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. We handle everything from web apps and APIs to data pipelines and machine learning models.
Every project ships in 8-12 weeks for an MVP. Our fixed pricing starts at $80K and goes up to $250K depending on scope and compliance needs like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or SOC 2.
Startup founders hire us to validate their idea with a working MVP. Enterprise teams use us to build internal tools that replace manual processes. Product managers outsource Python development when their in-house team is at capacity.
Types of software we ship.
Python Web Application Development

Real Numbers on Python Development Cost
Understanding how much does Python development cost means looking at real project data from 200+ shipped products.
Our average Python MVP costs $80K to $250K and ships in 8-12 weeks. The price depends on features, integrations, and compliance requirements. For example, a HIPAA-compliant healthcare app costs more than a simple API because of security audits and data encryption.
We use a fixed-price model. After a 2-week Discovery phase, you get a quote that stays the same until delivery. No hourly billing, no scope creep. This gives you predictable costs from day one.
How IRPR Compares to Other Python Development Shops
When asking how much does Python development cost, compare what you get for your money.
Most agencies charge by the hour and change scope as the project goes. This makes it hard to predict the final Python development cost. They also use junior developers to keep their rates low.
IRPR works differently. We assign senior engineers only, give you a fixed price after the Roadmap phase, and ship your MVP in 8-12 weeks. You own the code from day one.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Junior developers on your project
- Scope creep leads to cost overruns
- No compliance expertise
- You don't own the code until final payment
- Average timeline 6+ months
- Fixed price from the start
- Senior engineers with 10+ years experience
- Scope locked after 2-week Roadmap
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 built in
- Full code ownership immediately
- MVP in 8-12 weeks
Our Process for Delivering Python Projects
Knowing how much does Python development cost is easier when you see how we build.
Every project follows four phases: Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release. The Roadmap phase (week 2) gives you a fixed price and timeline. No surprises.
During the Product phase, we build in 2-week sprints. You see working software every 14 days and can adjust priorities. This keeps the Python development cost under control.
What Ships with Every Python Project
When you pay for Python development, these items are included in the fixed price.
Every project includes source code, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and monitoring. We don't hold anything back for a separate 'handover' fee.
You also get a 30-day warranty after release. If something breaks, we fix it at no additional cost. This is part of the Python development cost we quote upfront.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI
- Docker containers for local and production environments
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform or Pulumi
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog monitoring
- Automated tests with pytest (unit + integration)
- API documentation with Swagger/OpenAPI
- Deployment scripts for AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Admin dashboard (Django Admin or custom React panel)
- 30-day post-launch support and bug fixes
What we ship in this practice.
Custom CRM for a Real Estate Agency
Built a Django-based CRM that integrates with MLS listings and automates follow-up emails. Reduced manual data entry by 8 hours per week per agent. Tech stack: Django, PostgreSQL, Twilio, SendGrid.
HIPAA-Compliant Telemedicine Platform
Developed a video consultation app with end-to-end encryption and EHR integration. Enabled 3 clinics to see 200+ patients per week remotely. Tech stack: FastAPI, WebRTC, AWS, PostgreSQL.
Subscription Billing Engine for a SaaS Startup
Created a usage-based billing system that processes 10,000+ invoices per month with Stripe. Cut billing errors by 95%. Tech stack: Flask, Celery, Redis, Stripe API.
Inventory Management for an Ecommerce Brand
Built a real-time inventory system that syncs across Shopify, Amazon, and warehouse databases. Reduced stockouts by 60%. Tech stack: Django, GraphQL, AWS Lambda, Shopify API.
Fraud Detection Pipeline for a Fintech Company
Developed a machine learning pipeline that scores transactions in under 100ms. Reduced false positives by 40% compared to the previous rules-based system. Tech stack: Python, scikit-learn, Kafka, PostgreSQL.
Data Warehouse for a Logistics Firm
Designed an ETL pipeline that ingests data from 50+ sources into Snowflake. Cut reporting time from 2 days to 15 minutes. Tech stack: Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, Python.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
We give you a fixed quote after the 2-week Roadmap phase. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. The Python development cost you see is the cost you pay.
Senior engineers only
Every project is staffed with engineers who have 10+ years of experience. We don't use junior developers to cut costs. This keeps your Python development cost efficient and your code quality high.
8-12 week MVPs
We ship working software in 8-12 weeks. Our average is 12 weeks for a full-stack Python app. You get a product you can test with real users fast.
Full code ownership
You own the source code from day one. We put it in your GitHub repo during the first sprint. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in.
Built-in compliance
We have built HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliant Python apps. Our engineers know how to handle PHI, credit card data, and audit logs without extra cost.
Post-launch support included
Every project comes with 30 days of free support after launch. We fix bugs and answer questions. After that, you can extend support at a fixed monthly rate.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
