Freelance iOS Developer Rates

Setting your rate as an iOS developer is something a lot of engineers struggle with. The most common misconception is that a freelancing rate is based only on you, the engineer. In truth, a freelancing rate is a combination of your skills, the customer, and the market. In my guide, I walk through how you can set competitive rates and grow those rates over time so you earn more.
