How Hourly Billing Works
Transparent tracking, weekly billing, zero surprises.
10-hr minimum
Start with as few as 10 hours. Most clients begin with a 20–40 hr block to test the engagement.
Weekly timesheet
Every Friday you receive a timesheet showing tasks completed and hours logged — no black boxes.
Toggl/Hubstaff
Screen-time tracking software is enabled by default. Idle time is not billed. You can audit logs anytime.
Pause anytime
Tell your account manager and billing stops from the next week. Resume when you're ready — no fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about hourly developer hiring.
Our hourly engagements have a minimum of 10 hours. Most clients start with a 20–40 hour block to validate fit and then extend or upgrade to a dedicated monthly engagement.
We use Toggl or Hubstaff for time tracking. You get a weekly timesheet showing tasks, hours, and descriptions. Billing is weekly in arrears — you pay for hours logged in the previous week.
Yes — at any time. Simply let your account manager know. There's no penalty for pausing and no fee to resume. The developer is re-allocated when you're ready.
Hourly rates are slightly higher per-hour than the effective rate in a dedicated monthly engagement — this reflects the flexibility premium. For engagements exceeding 80 hours/month consistently, a dedicated arrangement usually works out cheaper.
No. Hourly engagements are open-ended — you pre-purchase a block of hours, and we top up as needed. There is no minimum term beyond the initial 10-hour block.
