Pricing and contract options
Work fractionally with a world-class developer, or find your next salaried employee for a fraction of the cost of a recruiter
Flexible contracts for growing companies
Our goal is to make working with a contract developer incredibly simple. Whichever package you choose, working through Gun.io takes the pressure off of you to be a lawyer, accountant, and payroll manager in addition to your day job.
Monthly retainer
Pre-book a portion of your developer's time on a recurring monthly basis. This is a great option if you need ongoing (3+ months) bandwidth or you want to keep moving without having to re-up hours every month.
Accelerate package
Purchase a single bucket of hours up front. Perfect for shorter projects, doing a quick trial run before committing to a larger contract, or if you have a project with a clear timeframe and set of deliverables.
Contract-to-hire
This is popular as an option to work with a developer until you confirm you would like to make the full salaried hire. These will be back to back transactions, where you pay the hourly rate during the contracting period, and pay the buyout fee when you bring them on full time.
Direct hire
Know your team is in it for the long haul? Bring talent aboard as a full-time direct hire, and you'll be charged a one-time fee of 20% of the developer's first year salary.
Pricing tiers and buyout fees for the perfect fit
When you're growing your team, whether that's for the span of a few months or a few years, cost is always an important considerations. We've got tiered pricing for contractors, and a simple one-time buyout fee to add that talent to your team forever.
Mid-level developers

Direct Hire
20% of 1st year salary
