💡 The $50,000 Question

What if the business verification solution you need already exists, costs 99% less than custom development, and can be implemented in 5 minutes instead of 5 months?

The Real Cost of Custom API Development

Every month, hundreds of companies face the same dilemma: they need reliable business verification capabilities, but they're told their only option is to hire developers and build custom API integrations. Here's what that actually costs:

Custom API Development Reality

  • •Developer costs: $75-150/hour × 200-400 hours = $15,000-60,000
  • •Project timeline: 3-6 months minimum
  • •Ongoing maintenance: $2,000-5,000/month
  • •Integration complexity: Requires dedicated IT resources
  • •Risk factor: 60% of projects go over budget
