In short

Remote Pro Ai sets software developer rates per seat per month, based on seniority (Mid, Senior or Lead), practice, hours, on-site needs and commitment term. Senior seats start from USD 5,850 per month and Mid seats from USD 4,450, combined discounts reach 15%, and every quote is itemised in SAR, AED, USD or EUR, with VAT shown separately and validity of 30 days.

Every price builds from the same 5 inputs, so you can predict your quote before you request it.

Software developer rates by seniority. No juniors.

Lead9+ yearsSets technical direction; leads a squad or sub-team; owns architecture and quality gatesfrom USD 7,600

How our pricing works

Every price on this site comes from one published price book (version 2026.10-r43). A specialist’s monthly rate depends on level (Mid 4–⁠6 years, Senior 6–⁠9, Lead 9+) and practice, for 160 hours of remote work a month. AI & Data, Cybersecurity, Game Development and Cloud & Complex Systems carry a practice rate above the base.

Our base rates are at least 30% below the median rate that comparable vetted-talent vendors publish for engineers in the GCC, and further below the European and US medians. We re-run this benchmark every October.

Longer terms and larger squads cost less: 6 months −5%, 12 months −10%, 3 or more specialists −4%, verified startups −10% for 3 months. Combined discounts never exceed 15%. Packs and fixed-price builds are calculated from the same rates and never cost more than booking the seats separately.

Prices exclude VAT; your quote adds the VAT that applies to the contracting entity and your country. SAR and AED follow the official pegs; EUR and GBP use the exchange rates dated in the price book.

Full time is the contracted working week in the delivery location. Half-time seats are available for many roles and quoted by hours. A practice lead confirms each engineer’s band through live assessment.

Prices per practice and level

Prices are per practice and level, because some skills are scarcer than others. Your quote shows each seat’s practice, level and price on its own line, so you can see how the total is built.

A full-time Senior seat starts from USD 5,850 per month and a Mid seat from USD 4,450, depending on practice and hours. Your instant quote shows every line, including the practice and level of each seat and any on-site seat or visit line, in SAR, AED, USD or EUR, before you register or pay. Mixing levels, for example one Lead with Mid engineers, often lowers the team’s total.

Yes. The monthly price covers the specialist’s salary and benefits, managed devices, security tooling, replacement cover with standbys, a customer success manager and Client OS access. VAT, on-site visits and any rush-start modifier appear as separate, clearly labelled lines. No admin or platform fees are added outside the quote.

Monthly seat pricing matches how teams actually work and keeps invoices predictable. Timesheets are still recorded and approved in Client OS, and capped time-and-materials pricing is available on Managed Delivery engagements when hourly billing suits your finance process better. Either way, invoices tie back to approved timesheets.

No. There are no placement fees, setup fees or exit fees. The only optional fee is conversion: if you hire an engineer directly, you pay 25% of first-year gross salary in months 1–⁠6, 15% in months 7–⁠12 and nothing after 12 months. Ending an engagement after the minimum term needs only 30 days’ notice.

Discounts stack up to a combined 15%. A 6-month term (−5%) with 3 or more engineers (−4%) gives −9%; a 12-month term with 3 or more engineers reaches −14%. Verified startups receive −10% for their first 3 months, still within the 15% limit. Each discount appears as its own line in your quote.

Quotes, quotation PDFs and share links are valid for 30 days, and keep their price if our rates change in that time. After signature, rates are fixed for your commitment term. Any change at renewal is notified in writing at least 30 days ahead, so you can renew, resize or end the engagement.

Quotes and invoices come in SAR, AED, USD or EUR, fixed at signature. Saudi buyers pay by mada, STC Pay, Apple Pay, card or transfer to a dedicated virtual IBAN; UAE buyers by card, Apple Pay or transfer. In Europe, pay by card, SEPA Direct Debit or transfer; in the UK by card or Bacs; in the US by card or ACH.

Projects are priced per milestone after a 2-week discovery, so the price reflects your actual scope. For first products, the App Cost Estimator gives an instant range, and the Launch Starter, Launch Growth and Launch Marketplace packages have fixed scopes and timelines of 6, 10 and 16 weeks.

Per month, on one of two terms: SAR 22,500 a month (USD 6,000) on a 3-month minimum, or SAR 18,750 a month (USD 5,000) on a 6-month term, excl. VAT. The fee includes a dedicated team with a dedicated account manager, data, tools and our AI system. 10 counted meetings a month are guaranteed (6 in month 1; 12 is the team’s target, not a promise), every missing meeting is refunded at one tenth of the fee, and every counted meeting beyond 10 costs SAR 1,875 (USD 500) + VAT, within the cap you choose at signing (10 only · up to 12 · up to 15 · open).
