No quote request just to learn the price
Most freelance sites make you write an email before they will tell you anything. Here are the actual floors I work from, so you can decide whether to bother contacting me at all. If the work is bigger than the floor, I say so before you commit — not after.
What It Costs
Published floors, not sales bait. Every figure below is the lowest I quote — what you pay depends on complexity, depth and turnaround, and you see the number before I start.
Written work or a single session
from $30 / task
Documentation on its own, or one live class sat and answered.
A technical report or write-up with no build attached, or one live session — a TopHat class, a Cengage module — attended and its questions answered. $30 is the entry point.
- A documented report of a technical assignment
- Or one live session, attended and answered
- Scope and figure agreed before I start
- Direct to me, never a bidding pool
Built and documented
from $50 / task
The write-up plus the working thing it describes.
Documentation combined with real practical work — code that runs, a lab actually completed, a build that does what the report claims. $50 is the minimum once both are involved, and the quote moves with complexity.
- Working implementation, not just the report
- Revisions until it matches the brief
- Rises with complexity, agreed up front
- No templates, no resale
Academic — module attendance
from $200 / week
I carry a whole class or module for its duration.
Continuous cover for one module: weekly work, submissions and continuous assessment. $200 is the floor per week; the quote moves with the workload and the subject.
- Weekly, biweekly or monthly billing — your choice
- Deadlines tracked so nothing is missed
- One module, one agreed rate for the term
- Stop any week; nothing is owed in advance
Web & software development
from $500 / project
A real site or application, built to your requirements.
$500 starts a straightforward build. The figure rises with what the project actually needs — integrations, authentication, payments, dashboards, scale — and you see the number before anything begins.
- Scoped and quoted before a line is written
- Built to your requirements, not a template
- Deployed and handed over working
- Full cycle — design through deployment
Remote Jobs & AI Training — direct
50% share
I do the technical work; we split what it pays, evenly.
For contracts needing real engineering depth, I work directly with you and invoice half of what the engagement earns. Nothing is owed up front, and nothing is owed if it earns nothing.
- You keep 50% of every payout
- Billed as earnings × share, itemised on the invoice
- Paid only after the platform pays you
- Technical expertise, not account sitting
Already hold an AI training account?
That is a different arrangement from the 50% above. I run the account for you and you collect 40% every Thursday without doing the work yourself. See how that works.
How payment works
You get a real invoice with the figure itemised, payable by M-Pesa, bank transfer, card or Apple Pay. Share work is billed as earnings × percentage, so the arithmetic is on the page. Questions: osoro@hesbon.dev or WhatsApp.
Why the numbers are on the page
A rate you have to ask for is a rate that changes depending on who is asking. Mine does not. Publishing the floor means you can compare me honestly against the platforms, and it means the figure on your invoice is the figure we agreed — itemised, with the arithmetic shown.
