What drives Python/Django development cost
Your Django project cost depends on scope, complexity, and compliance needs. Here is what we see across 200+ projects.
The biggest cost factor is the number of user roles and integrations. A simple CRUD app with 3 user types and Stripe integration starts around $80K. A multi-tenant SaaS with real-time features and HIPAA compliance runs $150K-$250K.
IRPR uses a 2-week Roadmap phase to define every endpoint, database table, and third-party API. This locks the price before any code is written. No scope creep, no surprise invoices.
How IRPR compares to generic dev shops
Most agencies charge by the hour and change scope mid-project. IRPR does the opposite.
Generic dev shops often start with a low hourly rate but add weeks of discovery and change orders. You never know the final cost until the end. Code quality varies, and you may not own the IP.
IRPR gives you a fixed price after a 2-week Roadmap. You own all code from day one. We use senior engineers only (10+ years experience) and ship with CI/CD, monitoring, and documentation included.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Scope changes mid-project
- Junior or mixed teams
- No fixed timeline
- Code ownership unclear
- No compliance expertise
- Fixed price from day 1
- Scope locked in Roadmap phase
- Senior engineers only (10+ yrs)
- 8-12 week delivery guarantee
- Full code ownership
- HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2 built in
Our 4-phase Django development process
Every project follows the same proven framework: Idea, Roadmap, Product, Release.
We start with a 1-week Idea phase to align on goals and user stories. Then a 2-week Roadmap produces a detailed spec, wireframes, and a fixed price contract.
The Product phase runs 6-10 weeks with weekly demos. Release includes deployment, monitoring setup, and a 30-day warranty. Total timeline: 8-12 weeks.
What ships with every Django project
Every project includes these deliverables by default. No hidden extras.
You get production-ready code, infrastructure, and documentation. We set up monitoring and error tracking so you can sleep at night.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Sentry error tracking configured
- Docker containers for local and production
- PostgreSQL database with migrations
- Django admin panel with custom views
- REST API with Swagger/OpenAPI docs
- Unit tests with 80%+ coverage
- Deployment to AWS or GCP
- 30-day post-launch warranty

Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every Django project gets a fixed quote after the 2-week Roadmap phase. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the cost before we write a line of code.
Senior engineers only
Our team averages 12 years of experience. Every engineer has shipped at least 5 production Django apps. No juniors, no offshore outsourcing, no handoffs.
8-12 week delivery
We ship working software in 8-12 weeks. 98% of our projects deliver on time. Weekly demos mean you see progress every Friday, not just at the end.
Full code ownership
You own all source code, documentation, and infrastructure from day one. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in. We hand over the repo at launch.
Compliance built in
We build HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 compliance into the architecture from the start. No costly retrofits. Our healthcare and fintech clients pass audits on the first try.
Post-launch support included
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support with a 4-hour SLA. We fix bugs, answer questions, and help with the first production issues. Extended support available at $2,500/month.
