We scope properly up front and stick to the number. No midnight surprise invoices, no scope creep drama.

Engagement Options
Project, monthly, or team — pick the model that fits your roadmap.
Project engagement
CAD $12k–$80k fixed
One app, one timeline, one invoice. Best for founders who need a product shipped, not a contractor to manage.
Dedicated developer
CAD $14k–$22k / month
A senior iOS dev full-time on your team, Monday–Friday. Black Layers handles payroll, PTO, and backup coverage.
Team of 3
CAD $38k–$55k / month
Two iOS devs + one project manager. For startups in active growth with multiple apps or a big v2 release.
Hiring FAQ
Are you a Canadian company?
Yes — registered in Alberta, Canada. All work is invoiced in CAD, and our contracts are Canadian-jurisdiction.
Who owns the code?
You do. 100% of source code and IP transfers to you on final payment. No license fees, no vendor lock-in.
Can I meet the developer before signing?
Yes. Every engagement starts with a 30-minute intro with the lead iOS dev assigned to your project. If you do not feel confident, we do not start.
What if the project goes off the rails?
Our fixed-price contract includes milestone gates. If a milestone slips, we eat the overrun, not you. We have hit 100% of milestone dates across our last 10 projects.
Do you sign NDAs?
Always. We send an NDA before the first technical conversation.
