FAQs
How does your billing work?
Our billing process is simple and transparent. It consists of two parts: 1) an upfront payment based on your project’s estimated workload, and 2) weekly or monthly payments based on your preferred billing cycle throughout the project.
When will I be charged?
Monthly billings: Charges are processed on the first Tuesday of each month.
Weekly billing: Charges are processed every Tuesday based on reported developer hours
Are there any upfront fees?
No upfront fees. You only pay once you’ve been matched with a developer and the engagement begins. No hidden costs, no long-term commitments, just straightforward billing aligned with your project’s needs.
What are your hourly rates?
Rates typically range from $65 to $105 per hour, depending on the developer’s experience and tech stack. This includes professionals in JavaScript, Python, Ruby on Rails, Data Science, Blockchain, Java, Swift, and more.
Is there a minimum number of project hours?
Yes, each engagement starts with a minimum of 160 hours per role. We can match you with developers available for full-time (40 hrs/week) or part-time (20 hrs/week) commitments.
What is Rec-loom?
Recloom connects companies with pre-vetted, on-demand developers from South Africa and beyond, ready to work remotely and deliver real impact, fast.
How is Rec-loom different from freelancing platforms?
Every developer goes through a rigorous screening process, including technical assessments and interviews, to ensure they’re not just skilled, but also reliable, communicative, and self-driven. We don’t flood you with profiles. Instead, we handpick a small set of developers who are a great fit and ready to start right away.
Do I own the IP?
Absolutely. You retain full ownership of all intellectual property created during the project. Our terms of use cover this by default, but we’re happy to support MSAs or any additional legal agreements you may prefer.
How long does it take to start a project?
It usually takes 1–2 days to match you with the right developer, and they can typically start within another 1–2 business days. Timelines may vary slightly depending on your project’s scope and specific requirements, but we move fast.
