Service - Contract Developers with Fixed-Outcome Pricing

Add velocity to your product team without dragging freelancers or managing time logs. We scope per outcome, deliver per milestone, and never charge more than we quote.

Book Service

Overview

Tired of chasing contractors or managing bloated agency threads? Our model gives you focused delivery, clear comms, and no billing surprises.

What we offer:

  • Outcome-based pricing: You pay for value, not hours.
  • Direct integration — no handholding, no fluff
  • Flexible collaboration: Run async or with regular syncs — you decide.

Who this is for:

  • Startups who need self managed solutions.
  • Product teams that need to extend capacity fast.
  • Companies needing senior devs without full-time overhead.

Packages

Contract Developer

Starting at ÂŁ1,000/mo

Add velocity to your roadmap. One developer, integrated into your team, self managed.

  • - Kickoff session + backlog alignment
  • - Technical System Analysis
  • - Feature & Task breakdown
  • - Task-level fixed-max pricing
  • - Flexibility for Agile environments

đź’Ľ Need the equivalent of full-time Developer Capacity?

Important: We don’t charge per hour — we provide a menu of tasks to complete, each with a fixed-max price. You pick which ones you want completed, and we deliver them.

Keeping this in mind: if you pick +ÂŁ4,500 worth of tasks in a month, that typically equates to a full-time developer (160 hours/month) working on your project. If fewer tasks are selected, your spend will be less.

  • Mid-Level Developer: From ÂŁ4,500/mo
  • Senior Developer: From ÂŁ6,000/mo
  • Includes senior oversight, backlog alignment, task breakdown, and fixed-max pricing

How It Works

1 — Initial Consultation

Quick intro call to make sure there’s a fit, gather context, and understand what needs solving.

2 — Planning & Scope Breakdown

We deliver a short technical analysis and a clear breakdown of features and tasks — each with fixed-max pricing.
You walk away with scoped options, recommendations, and clarity.

This step gives us the context we need to work effectively and make smart tradeoffs. It gives you the confidence to move fast — or change course, if needed.

3 — Build & Deliver

We work task-by-task with fixed pricing and async updates.
Scope is easy to track. Comms stay lightweight. Features ship.

4 — Change Requests

Priorities evolve. That’s fine. When they do, we assess:

  • Does it affect current deliverables?
  • If yes — we re-plan, re-price, and reset expectations together.
  • If no — it gets queued for the next cycle.

Change becomes part of the process — not a blocker.

FAQs

Working with Zebra Labs was brilliant. Honestly, Will went way beyond what I expected in terms of speed, clarity, and quality. Communication was seamless—no bloated threads, just straightforward and actionable conversations that kept things moving quickly. It genuinely felt like a partnership, not a typical agency-client dynamic. Can’t recommend Zebra Labs enough!
