We're a mobile dev house (iOS and Android), and we charge around $60-$80 / hour. www.polymorph.co.za . Sounds like we should get some US clients if $150 / hour is realistic.


An experienced mobile developer working as an employee at a dev shop in the US should be able to make that kind of hourly wage. Considering the fully loaded cost of employing someone is between 150% to 200% of the salary (equipment, office, infrastructure, training, benefits, etc.), you're effectively working for as little as $30/hour.


can you share any apps you have on the market?


Sure. Most of our work is actually for corporate clients, so not commercial apps found on the market under our name, but a few examples of commercial apps are:
