Three.js Developer Rate — Hourly vs Fixed-Price
Three.js developer rates: \$50-\$120/hour for solo freelancers, \$120-\$200 for boutique agencies, \$250+ for premium US/UK studios.
Three.js developer rates 2026: solo freelancers like me — \$50-\$120/hour or fixed-price equivalent. Mid-tier agencies — \$120-\$200/hour. Premium US/UK studios — \$250-\$400/hour. I prefer fixed-price contracts — better for both sides (you know what you're paying, I know what to deliver). Hourly rates only on retainer arrangements where scope is genuinely undefined. Most clients prefer fixed-price for budget certainty.
Payment terms
50% upfront on contract signature, 50% on delivery. I send a written project brief listing exactly what's in scope before any payment. Payment via SEPA (EU clients), USD wire (US clients), or crypto (USDC) for clients who prefer that route. Invoices are formal Serbian invoices with VAT handled correctly. I'm registered as a freelance entrepreneur.
