React Three Fiber Developer Rate

R3F developer rates: similar to Three.js (\$50-\$120/hour solo) plus React expertise premium for senior work.

R3F developer rates: similar baseline to Three.js (\$50-\$120/hour solo) — small premium for senior developers since R3F skill combines React and Three.js, which is rare. Mid-tier agencies \$120-\$200, premium US/UK studios \$250+. I quote fixed-price for client work — \$1,500-\$8,000 for typical R3F projects, depending on scope. The R3F ecosystem (drei, leva, react-three-rapier) makes development faster than vanilla Three.js for component-heavy projects.

Inclusions and exclusions

Included: design + development + assets + first-year hosting + minor revisions + post-launch support for 30 days. Not included: stock photography (rare, but if needed I source separately), custom 3D modeling beyond what's typical for the scope, content writing (I refine your draft, but you provide the source content), and ongoing monthly maintenance after the first year.

What you actually get

At this price point for React Three Fiber Developer Rate, the deliverable includes: a working production site with the agreed scope, all source code in your private repo, asset pipeline documented, og images, schema.org markup, sitemap entry, basic SEO setup, and a 5-min walkthrough video. The price is fixed — I quote once, deliver, invoice on delivery. No hidden costs.

Realistic price range

Hero-section r3f developer rate on existing site: $1,500-$2,500. Full multi-scene 3D site, 4-6 weeks of work: $3,500-$8,000. Configurator with custom shaders and AR support: $5,000-$12,000. Above that, projects move to a quoted-by-scope model. EUR equivalents are 0.93-0.95x USD. All include first-year hosting and minor revisions.

How I differ from US studios

A US or UK design studio with comparable skill ships similar quality at $15,000-$50,000 for the same scope. I deliver the same craft from Serbia at 30-50% of that. The difference isn't quality — it's cost-of-living arbitrage. You also get direct access to the developer building your site, no agency layer slowing decisions.

Frequently asked questions

What if my budget is below this range?

I have a smaller package: hero scene only on existing site, single device-tier (desktop), simpler asset pipeline. \$800-\$1,200 range. Below that, off-the-shelf templates from Spline or similar are usually a better fit than custom development.

Are there hidden costs I should know about?

No hidden fees. The quote covers design, development, assets, first-year hosting, og images, schema markup, sitemap, and 30 days post-launch support. Stock photography or specialist 3D modeling, if needed, is quoted separately before work starts.

How long does this take?

Standard scope: 4-6 weeks from contract signature to live site. Larger scope (configurator, multi-scene scrollytelling) takes 8-12 weeks. Rush projects (2-3 weeks) are accepted with a 30-40% rush surcharge.

What does it cost?

Hero-section 3D upgrade: \$1,500-\$2,500. Full multi-scene 3D site: \$3,500-\$8,000. Configurator with custom shaders: \$5,000-\$12,000. All fixed-price, source code included. EUR equivalents on request.

What if my visitors are on weak phones?

The site detects device tier before the first scene loads and serves a lighter version on weak hardware (fewer particles, simpler shaders). Devices without WebGL get a static fallback that preserves the visual language and conversion path.
