What Drives PHP Development Cost
Understanding the factors that influence PHP development cost helps you budget accurately.
PHP development cost varies based on project complexity, feature set, and compliance requirements. A simple CRUD app with Laravel may start around $80K, while a multi-tenant SaaS platform with HIPAA compliance can exceed $250K. IRPR provides a fixed price after a 2-week Roadmap phase that defines the exact scope.
Custom integrations, third-party APIs, and real-time features add to the cost. For example, integrating Stripe billing and Salesforce synchronization typically adds 2-3 weeks to the timeline. IRPR's senior engineers build with Laravel, Symfony, Vue.js, and PostgreSQL to keep performance high and cost predictable.
How IRPR Compares on PHP Development Cost
Generic dev shops often hide costs. IRPR gives you a fixed price upfront.
Most agencies charge hourly and let scope creep inflate the final bill. IRPR uses a fixed-price model based on a detailed Roadmap. You know the exact PHP development cost before a single line of code is written.
Our senior engineers work in 8-12 week sprints. We ship fully tested code, CI/CD pipelines, and documentation. No surprise invoices, no unfinished features.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Scope creep charges
- Junior developers on your project
- No compliance expertise
- Code not properly documented
- Long timelines with no guarantee
- Fixed price from $80K to $250K
- Scope locked in Roadmap phase
- Senior engineers only (7+ years)

Our PHP Development Process
We break down PHP development cost into clear phases so you always know what you pay for.
Every project follows a four-phase process: Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release. The Roadmap phase (week 2) produces a fixed-price proposal. After approval, the Product phase builds the MVP in 8-12 weeks.
During Release we deploy to production, set up monitoring, and hand over full ownership. Post-launch support is available on a retainer basis.
