How to price yourself as a freelance developer - 3 strategies
5 years ago I was paid 800 euros for a website that took me one full week to build. Last week, I finished a project for 5000 euros which only took me one full day of coding. In both cases, the client got what they needed. But what made the difference? My pricing strategy.
Pricing yourself as a freelancer can be tough and it really depends on your skills, experience and the project. Which one suits for you? Based on my experience, in case you're looking for security, hourly-based pricing is the way to go. If you know what you're jumping into, go with project-based pricing. And if you know the business and believe in the client, try to negotiate a deal using value-based pricing. So I urge to - before agreeing to some certain price, think about what are your options.
