My freelance quote for your software project.

50 - if you tell me what you want, I confirm the requirements, and I build it for you
100 - if I have to pry a description of what you want out of you like pulling a tooth
250 - if I have to build it on a "company laptop" you supply
350 - if I have to regularly video call with you for no particular reason
400 - if I have to use JIRA
450 - if I have to use Github
500 - if I have to use Zoom
750 - if I have to use Teams
1,250 - if you ever want to "watch me work" by sharing my desktop
1,500 - if the project is fixing something your employees built for you
1,800 - if it's fixing something a previous contractor built
2,500 - if it's fixing / completing a project a previous, cheaper freelancer failed to complete
19,500 - if it's fixing something created with "AI"
