Pricing
Hiring a quality custom software development agency can be one of the most valuable investments a business makes, and it’s a decision that shouldn’t be made lightly.
With transparency one of our core values for establishing trust, we created this pricing page to help you uncover a more accurate estimate for your project before you even reach out to us.
Strategy Session
There are plenty of development teams out there who will take your idea (and your money) and start heads down writing lines of code. That’s not us.
We want to validate your product before you invest tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars on development. By combining your market knowledge with our software expertise, we create a comprehensive plan for developing a viable product that will bring value to your business.
This 2-hour workshop, led by our CEO, CTO, and project manager with a collective 40+ years’ experience building digital products, is the first stage in the software development process for fine-tuning the costs, timelines, expectations, and goals of a project, setting it up for success before anything is coded.
Deliverables:
$2000/Session
Defined user types and expectations
Cost-benefit analysis of feature list
Assessment of product architecture
Estimation of product costs and timelines
Lucid Chart of user flows
Code Review
Does your existing tech have critical errors that interrupt your team’s ability to get work done?
Before you decide to buy new software, extend your relationship with your current tech provider, or hire a new full-time developer, let us evaluate your current tech solutions for gaps.
Our experienced team will get under the hood to review your tech's current state and propose solutions. We'll analyze, consult, and prioritize where to focus development efforts so you can move forward with confidence.
Deliverables:
$1000/Review
5-hour discovery of your current code base by a senior developer
Written high-level review with recommendations for making your tech meet your company’s goals
Software Development
Want to build software with the same level of professionalism and quality as if it were built in-house?
Maybe you're tired of the back and forth managing an outsourced development team?
Working with our experienced tech team gives your project stability, the easiest ROI, and the highest degree of flexibility.
You get access to our entire team at a fraction of the cost if you were to hire each of these roles internally: server developer, web developer, mobile developer, project manager, quality assurance.
Our hourly team rate for development services is $200 per hour. Any volume work over 10 hours per week is discounted to $150 per hour. Subscriptions of over 40 hours per week are discounted to $125 per hour. See the pricing chart for a full breakdown.

Code Maintenance
We don't need to tell you how fast technology can change.
Apple and Google release new versions of iOS and Android at least once a year. Third party providers like Salesforce and Zapier change their services around all the time, breaking things that were working just fine.
Our Code Maintenance Plan was designed to specifically address these concerns. One low monthly investment will make sure your digital tool is always in tip-top shape.
Our Code Maintenance Plan costs 20% of your original development cost divided monthly. Once per year, we factor in any features we've added in the previous year and adjust the cost accordingly.
Here is a simple widget for you to determine the cost of the plan:
Monitor Bug/Crash Reports
›
Keep dependencies up to date
›
Yearly app audit
›
Performance monitoring
›
Yearly report on new iOS/Android features
›
App Store listing maintenance
›
Server Maintenance
Your servers are the physical computers that run the brains of your software. Sometimes these are physical devices, but in our modern world, these are almost always "virtualized" servers that run in the cloud. You may recognize one of these virtualized server providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Digital Ocean, or Linode.
Regardless of whether you have physical or virtualized servers, these devices require routine upkeep to keep them fast and secure.
With the Server Management Plan, we take care of this upkeep for you every month.
JMG’s Server Management program costs 2 hours of development time per production server per month.
Here is a simple widget for you to determine the cost of the plan:
Apply security patches and updates for your infrastructure
›
Vigilant monitoring of logs for intrusion attempts
›
Downtime mitigation
›
Performance monitoring
›
Database backup
›
Upgrading to the most current operating systems
›
SSL certificate installation, renewal, and management
›
Quality Assurance
We work well with others, so we're happy to QA your product even if we didn't build it.
Does your existing software need a fresh set of eyes? Does your development team not provide QA testing (as is often the case with overseas developers)? Do you only need part-time QA?
Our dedicated quality assurance team will put your software through its paces, so you can be sure it meets your project’s goals.
Deliverables:
$3000/Month
Our quality assurance team will spend 10 hours a week testing user flows and identifying bugs.
A senior developer will suggest improvements and consult on where to prioritize work.
