Get a fixed price for your Python project in 2 weeks. IRPR ships production-ready Python apps in 8-12 weeks.
IRPR builds Python web applications, REST APIs, data pipelines, and AI backends. We use Django, Flask, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL to ship production-ready code.
Every Python project ships in 8-12 weeks with a fixed price between $80,000 and $250,000. We handle HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance as part of the build.
Startup CTOs hire us to build their MVP in 12 weeks. Enterprise IT directors use us to replace legacy tools with custom Python apps. Product managers commission data analytics platforms that process millions of records per day.

What drives Python development cost?
Understand the three main factors that affect pricing.
The largest cost driver is scope complexity. A simple CRUD API with three endpoints costs less than a multi-service architecture with real-time data streaming. IRPR uses a 2-week Roadmap phase to define exactly what you need and give you a fixed price.
Second is compliance requirements. HIPAA or PCI-DSS adds engineering time for encryption, audit logs, and access controls. Third is integrations. Connecting to Salesforce, Stripe, or AWS S3 adds 1-2 weeks per integration. We include all integrations in the fixed quote.
How IRPR's fixed pricing compares to hourly billing
Most agencies bill hourly. We don't.
Hourly billing creates uncertainty. You never know the final cost until the project ends. Scope creep, slow developers, and unclear requirements all add hours. A $50,000 estimate can become $120,000 with no end in sight.
IRPR gives you a fixed price in week 2, after the Roadmap phase. The price covers all features, integrations, and compliance work. If we miss the deadline, we pay the penalty. Our 98% on-time record proves this works.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Scope creep increases cost unpredictably
- No fixed timeline
- Unknown total cost until project ends
- Code ownership often unclear
- No compliance expertise built in
- Fixed price from week 2
- Scope defined in Roadmap phase
- 8-12 week delivery guaranteed
- Full code ownership from day one
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 ready
- Dedicated senior engineers only
