I'm looking to hire an iOS app developer to work on a project involving OpenAI's GPT and Whisper APIs. The app isn't overly complex—it essentially summarizes audio transcriptions. However, I've been receiving quotes all over the place on UpWork, ranging from $2,000 to $16,000. Every time I mention a budget, developers seem to want to negotiate upwards, and I'm getting estimates anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks for delivery. It's been really confusing, and I stopped giving a budget to get honest estimates instead. So my question is, what budget should I realistically expect for this project, and how can I spot the right developer? Thanks for your help!

You really do get what you pay for. A $2,000 budget might yield lower quality work, but it depends on your specific needs and the developer’s experience. Solid project requirements can help you estimate a more accurate budget. Ultimately, consider the complexity and timeline too; those factors will influence costs significantly.
As someone from India who doesn't build apps, I suggest putting together a clear brief about your app. Ask potential developers how they would approach the project, what stages they'll go through, and their timelines. This should help filter out less qualified candidates. Once you narrow it down, think critically about your budget—are you comfortable paying a higher amount for better quality?
