I am skeptical about the article's claims that $15 an hour is a typical rate for a qualified app developer: "Developers like TapFame because it means the difference between taking an outside job for $15 an hour vs. a TapFame-found job for $100 an hour." The author does not cite any reference for why he believes $15 is how much their consultants would be paid outside their system. Particularly given that they suggest their consultants in the top 15% of developers, as they say they reject 85% of all applicants. Given that applicants have to have a proven history of app development to even be considered, it is likely the ones they choose are in an even smaller group than top 15% of all developers since most developers in the general market have not independently developed and deployed mobile apps. Perhaps it is the top 5%. Are the top 5%, those with a proven history of successful mobile app creation and deployment, really only being typically paid $15 an hour on the open market? It seems unlikely this is true.
