Pricing questions, answered
What does the paid trial week include?
During the paid trial week, your developer works on your actual project — joining your tools, attending meetings, and writing production code. If the fit is not right, you walk away with no further obligation.
Are there any hidden fees or setup costs?
No. The monthly rate covers everything — developer salary, benefits, workspace, equipment, and our management overhead. There are no recruiter fees, setup charges, or hidden costs.
How does pricing compare to US-based developers?
Our developers are typically 60-70% less expensive than equivalent US-based talent. A senior React developer that costs $12,000-15,000/month in the US is available through Geminate for $3,000-5,000/month with comparable skills and experience.
What if I need to scale up or down?
Staff augmentation engagements are month-to-month with a 2-week notice for scaling down. You can add developers as your project grows without any long-term contracts.
Do you offer discounts for multiple developers?
Yes. For teams of 3+ developers, we offer volume pricing. Contact us for a custom quote based on your team size and requirements.
What technologies do your developers cover?
Flutter, React, Next.js, Node.js, Java, Spring Boot, Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and AI/ML integration (GPT-4, Gemini, Claude).
