Fixed priceNever hourly
Hire a real developer. Pay one price, after you approve.
Talk to a developer for free first. They look at your problem, then name one price for the whole job. You say yes or no. You pay only when you are happy with the result.
Four steps, and you decide at each one
Nothing is charged until the last step, and you can walk away at any point before it.
Describe it
Say what you need in plain words. A question, a review, a bug or a new feature. No price, no card, no technical detail needed.
Talk for free
A developer approved by hand calls you on video. Many problems are solved right there, and then there is nothing to pay.
Get one price
If more work is needed, the developer names one fixed price after seeing your problem. Say no and it costs you nothing.
Pay when you approve
You save a card to accept. It is charged only after you approve the finished work. If the deadline is missed, you are not charged.
You are not buying a package or an audit. You pay for the one thing you needed.
You know the cost first
The price is named once, before any work starts. There is no clock running and no surprise invoice afterwards.
The developer is paid for the result
The full price goes to the developer. That is why they take the time to get it right instead of watching the hours.
A person decides if it is done
You approve the work. If something is wrong you report it and an admin decides. You are never left arguing alone.
How it compares, by model
The big platforms are good at what they do. They just work differently, and the difference is mostly about when you pay and how the price is set.
| Where | First step | How the price is set | When you pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| humans fix ai | A free video call with a developer | One fixed price, named after the developer has seen your problem | After you approve the result. The card is only saved until then |
| Upwork | Post a job and review proposals | Hourly or fixed-price contracts | Hourly: for hours worked. Fixed price: funded in steps and released as you approve |
| Fiverr | Choose a seller's listed offer | The price listed on the offer, plus a service fee | When you place the order, before the work starts |
| Toptal | Get matched with talent | Hourly. Rates are not published | Invoiced twice a month. A trial period of up to two weeks, and you are not billed if you are not satisfied |
| Codementor | Pick a mentor and start a call | The mentor's per-minute rate, with a 15-minute minimum, plus a service fee | A hold on your card before the call, charged after it |
| Rescue services for AI-built apps | Many start with a paid audit | The fix is quoted after the audit | The audit is often paid before anything else happens |

When we are not the right fit
We would rather tell you now than after you have started.
- You need a full rebuild or a whole product built from scratch.
- You want a developer on your team every week for months.
- You need a specific person, or a team with a particular background.
For anything you can describe as a task, even a hard one, start with the free call and see.
Questions
What if the job turns out bigger than the price?
The developer names a new price and you decide whether to accept it. Nothing changes without your yes.
What if I am not happy with the result?
Tell the developer in the chat, or report a problem. An admin decides, and if it goes in your favour you are not charged.
What can I ask for?
Anything about an app built with AI: a question, a review before launch, a bug, a security check, or a new feature.
Who are the developers?
Real people who apply and are approved by hand before they can take any task.
Do I need an account?
No. You confirm your email with a code and that is all you need to start.
