What Determines Python/Django Development Cost?
The cost of a Python/Django project depends on scope, complexity, and compliance requirements.
IRPR uses a fixed-price model based on your product roadmap. We start with a 2-week Roadmap phase where we define every feature, user story, and integration. This gives you a precise quote before any development begins.
Typical projects range from $80K for a simple MVP to $250K for a multi-tenant SaaS with third-party integrations. Compliance like HIPAA or SOC 2 adds 2-4 weeks and roughly 15% to the scope but is included in the fixed price.
How IRPR vs Generic Dev Shops Handle Cost
Most agencies hide costs in hourly billing and scope creep. IRPR gives you a fixed price from day one.
Generic dev shops often quote low hourly rates but add change orders and overtime. You never know the final cost until the project ends.
IRPR builds a detailed roadmap in week 2, then locks the price. Every feature is scoped, every integration is tested. No surprises.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Vague estimates that double mid-project
- No compliance expertise (HIPAA, SOC 2)
- Code ownership often unclear
- No dedicated QA; bugs found by you
- Slow communication across time zones
- Fixed price quoted in week 2
- Detailed roadmap with every feature scoped
- Built-in compliance (HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS)
- Full source code ownership from day 1
- Dedicated QA engineer on every project
- Async-first with 4-hour overlap in US time zones
Our 4-Phase Process to Deliver Your Python/Django App
From idea to release, we follow a structured process that keeps costs predictable and timelines short.
Every project starts with a 2-week Roadmap phase where we define the product scope, tech stack, and integrations. You get a fixed price and a clear timeline before any development begins.
After the Roadmap, we build the MVP in 8-12 weeks, then release and support with 99.9% uptime SLA. Post-launch, we offer maintenance and scaling as needed.
