“I stopped pricing by what other people charge because the same website can be worth $54K or $1.5M depending on what it unlocks for the client. $3,000 is only fair if the redesign's upside is worth about $30K to your business. So ask each freelancer what business outcome their work is tied to, then decide which one is actually selling you a result you believe in.”

“A $3,000 fixed price for six weeks of app redesign only looks fair once you see the scope in writing: screens, revisions, deliverables, and who owns the files. I have hired freelancers across content and design, and the wide spread in quotes usually means the brief itself is fuzzy. Lock the scope before you compare prices, or the cheapest quote becomes the most expensive one.”

“For a six-week app redesign, $3,000 is low if the work includes research, UX flows, and UI screens, and you are hiring in North America or Western Europe. I would break the quote into hours: at $20–30 in Eastern Europe, that buys roughly 100–150 hours, while at $45–70 in North America it is only 40–70 hours, which rarely covers a full redesign.”

“$3K for six weeks of real app redesign work is on the low end, and I'd be careful. My first paid UX project was exactly $3,000, and I was green enough that the client was basically betting on potential, not craft. For a 6-week redesign, you're looking at roughly 120-180 hours of work if the designer is putting in real time.”

“$3,000 for six weeks lands in the offshore UI/UX range we see, but the real question is whether the scope matches the price. I would make them break the redesign into wireframes, UI screens, and revisions, then compare fixed bids against that list rather than trusting a flat number.”

“I stopped trusting hourly design quotes years ago. What you’re really buying is a scope, and most freelancers quote wildly different prices because they’re guessing at different versions of the job.”

“I would not compare $3,000 to the other quotes at all until every proposal answers the same brief. For a 6-week app redesign, I would expect a freelancer to land somewhere between a few hundred and a few thousand, and the spread usually means the scope is not written down the same way twice. Ask each one what screens, states, components, review rounds, and handoff files are included, then compare those totals.”

“$3,000 for six weeks is roughly $500 a week, which in the US market is either a very junior designer or someone overseas working part-time. What I learned freelancing early on is that the real cost gap is not the hourly rate; it is how much of the work you still have to do yourself after they deliver.”

“For a six-week app redesign, $3,000 is low for a senior product designer and high only if you are buying a fixed set of screens from someone junior. What matters more than the number is what the scope includes: user flows, component library, states, handoff, and revisions. I would ask each freelancer to break the fee into weeks and deliverables, then compare what you are actually getting.”
