Node.js Project EstimationProject Estimation
Get a fixed price for your Node.js project in 2 weeks. No hourly billing, no scope creep.
IRPR builds Node.js applications using Express, NestJS, and PostgreSQL. We estimate every project with a detailed roadmap before writing code, so you know the exact scope and price upfront.
We ship MVPs in 8-12 weeks with fixed pricing from $80K to $250K. All projects meet SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance if needed. Our estimates are based on 200+ shipped products and 50+ countries of experience.
CTOs needing accurate timelines hire us to avoid budget overruns. Startup founders use our estimates to secure investor funding. Enterprise teams rely on our fixed prices for internal approvals. Product managers get predictable delivery schedules.

Why Node.js Project Estimation Matters
Accurate estimation saves you 30% of development costs by eliminating scope creep and rework.
IRPR uses a structured Roadmap phase to define every feature, integration, and edge case before coding starts. Our estimates include database design, API endpoints, authentication, and third-party integrations like Stripe or Twilio.
We have estimated over 200 Node.js projects across fintech, healthcare, and e-commerce. Each estimate comes with a fixed price and a 12-week maximum timeline for the MVP.
How IRPR Estimates Differently
Most agencies give rough ballparks. IRPR gives you a fixed price with a full scope document.
We start with a 2-week Roadmap phase where we write technical specifications, wireframes, and a project plan. You get a fixed price after that, not before. This eliminates the guesswork.
Our estimates include every line of code, every API call, and every third-party service. No hidden costs for deployment, compliance, or documentation.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Vague estimates based on gut feel
- Scope creep leads to 50% cost overruns
- No written specification upfront
- Uses junior developers to save money
- No compliance or security review
- Fixed price from week 2
- Detailed 2-week Roadmap phase
- Scope is locked in writing
- Full technical specification delivered
- Senior engineers only (10+ years average)
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 compliance included
Our Node.js Project Estimation Process
Four phases take you from idea to a production-ready Node.js app with a fixed price.
Each phase has clear deliverables and sign-offs. You never pay for work you haven't approved.
The process is designed for speed and transparency. Most clients go from kickoff to launch in under 12 weeks.
What Ships with Every Node.js Project
You own everything. No black boxes, no locked-in contracts.
Every project includes a full CI/CD pipeline, monitoring, and documentation. You can take the code to any team after launch.
We also include a 30-day post-launch support period to fix any issues and train your team.
- Source code in your private GitHub repository
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions with automated tests
- Docker containers for local and production environments
- Sentry error tracking and Datadog performance monitoring
- API documentation with Swagger/OpenAPI
- Database migration scripts and seed data
- Deployment playbook for AWS or GCP
- Post-launch support for 30 days
- Security audit report (OWASP top 10)
- Compliance documentation (HIPAA/PCI/SOC 2 as needed)
What we ship in this practice.
Real-Time Chat App for Healthcare

REST API for Fintech Startup
Developed a PCI-DSS compliant REST API with Express and PostgreSQL. Processed $2M in transactions in the first month. Included JWT authentication and rate limiting with Redis.
Microservices for E-Commerce Platform
Decomposed a monolithic Magento store into 12 Node.js microservices using Docker and Kubernetes. Cut deployment time from 4 hours to 10 minutes. Used RabbitMQ for order processing.
Serverless API for SaaS Dashboard
Built a serverless API with AWS Lambda and DynamoDB for a B2B analytics platform. Scaled from 100 to 10,000 requests per minute without changes. Used Serverless Framework for deployment.
GraphQL API for Real Estate MLS
Created a GraphQL API with Apollo Server and Prisma to serve property listings from 5 MLS databases. Reduced frontend load time by 40% and enabled real-time filtering.
E-Commerce Backend for Subscription Box
Built a subscription management backend with Stripe integration and Bull job queues. Handled 15,000 active subscribers with automated billing and inventory sync.
Why teams hire us.
Fixed price from week 2
After the 2-week Roadmap phase, you get a fixed price that never changes. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. We have delivered 200+ projects on budget.

Every project is staffed with engineers who have 10+ years of experience. No juniors, no outsourced teams. Average tenure at IRPR is 5 years.
200+ products shipped
We have built and launched over 200 Node.js applications across 50 countries. Our estimation accuracy comes from real-world experience, not theory.
Compliance built-in
We handle HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance as part of the estimate. No extra fees for security audits or documentation.
Transparent communication
You get weekly sprint reports, a shared Slack channel, and direct access to the engineering team. We work in your timezone with at least 4 hours overlap.
Post-launch support included
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support for bug fixes and knowledge transfer. We also provide a deployment playbook so your team can take over.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
