Hourly rate is only one input. For fintech front-ends, I would also compare how many hours a feature actually takes, how much rework the review process adds, and who maintains the code after launch. A lower rate with a vague scope often ends up costing more than a higher rate with a clear estimate. Ask each vendor for ranges by project size. Solar Digital’s Vue.js page, for example, gives about 4 to 6 weeks for a simple app or MVP, 2 to 3 months for a more advanced one and 4 to 6 months or more for large platforms, which makes quotes easier to sanity-check. Also confirm how the front-end connects to your backend (REST or GraphQL) and whether post-launch support is included. If the interface is where you need speed, compare Vue.js developers on delivered projects and maintenance terms, not only on the hourly figure
