$50/hour. Not because I am incompetent, but because I choose to work from home(more productive, more time with family vs commuting). Most people want you to come to their office for butt-in-seat hours, so I have to lower my rate to still be desirable. Unfortunate, but there's not a ton of full-time remote iOS demand these days

For reference:
Cheap overseas outsourcing = $20-30/hour
Junior/entry-level contract rate = $50-75/hour
Competent developer (i.e. able to work well without need for help or guidance) = $75-125
Highly skilled professional (flies in to help, recognized industry professional, directs projects architecture) = $150-300
- tagabek 14y agoWhat would you say the current market rates in the San Francisco area would be for full-time iOS developers? What are the variables that this depends on?
- smartwater 14y agoCharging by the hour is the wrong way to do it. Most developers who charge by the hour are making a lot less than they have to. Charge per project and you can structure it for $300 an hour or whatever you want within reason. It has been talked about a lot in other posts if you want to know more about it.
