Commission Price Guide For New Developers

Resources Community Tutorials
#1

I have seen many new developers asking others what they should be getting payed for commissions. So I decided to create a price guide with a general range of what I think developers should get payed (in robux :robux_gold: :slight_smile: for commissions that are completed well and on time. Please feel free to request any changes if you do not like my price recommendations! :slight_smile:

Please read the following paragraph before posting. Thanks!

Please note that there are more factors that go into negotiating a price. These prices are mostly for newer developers who are able to complete commissions. I see no reason why you should stick to this guide if you feel that your work is worth more, this is just a guide to help you get started in finding a fair price if you are new to commissions on Roblox.

Your prices are too low xD

Doing high quality work should be very expensive, like programing an entire game cost between 500k to +5m robux depending of the game size.
Mading an entire game Ui cost around 25k to 250k depending of the amount of Ui, the level of detail it have ect.

I worked a bit with Piddy Man (One of the creator of Pet Swarm Sim) in the past, and he was paying 100k robux only to program all his carnival stalls for his game (Carnival Tycoon), which is a fair price, it is only like 10% of the game programmation.

Also i’m doing some Ui commissions (Medium Quality) and people pay me between 2500 to 15k robux for it.
High quality Ui asset can cost a lot more, like “Chenami” for example, he/she made Ui commissions for 100k to +200k robux but he/she is a very proffesionnal Ui designer.

Many people don’t pay testers as it is a reward to get to play in the first place. Edit: as time has progressed, this is no longer the norm and paying testers is common practice now. See this for more info on testing.

High quality commissions would get you more than

Also, get ready for controversy, you’re paying more for builders for making a single map than your scripters for making a whole game (low end of scale)

Also there are two Scripting titles.

Even that price is wrong for making a full game.

You want to make a full game for only $350?

That would be a scam lol, most professionals will only work for around $300-1500/mo to work full time.

However this is commission so a full game by high standards can be around $2000-3000; so convert that to Robux and it’ll be around 2-3 million robux.

Yeah, it depends of the game, a obby will require a way less work than a rpg / fighting game for example ^^

heh heh, typo. I just fixed that now

Yes, I put it like that because I feel there is a wider range for what scripters get payed. My friend was once offered 1,000 robux to script an entire game.

Very interesting approach. I’d like to see how you came up with these prices. Also, you did not encorporate size or amount of detail into the price. Soley quality is not a standard to base your prices upon, at least with building and modeling. This might be different for other expertises such as scripting but the size of the commission plays the biggest role in pricing your work.

I have made a lot of maps before that exceed this price table due to size and amount of detail. To fix this, i’d encorporate some parameters/variables for size and detail.

Other factors to take into account:

Building:

  • Size
  • Detail

Scripting:

  • Neatness
  • How advanced is it

There are also other factors.

Why are these different prices?

#14

Do not use these prices as something to estimate people’s prices as some people value their work more than others.

#15

This ain’t it.
There are no “standard prices” for commissions as any job can require a different amount of work, I would like to know what’s the reasoning behind those prices as I don’t think they really make sense at all.
The prices are just so wrong…

However, is your friend a high quality advanced scripter? Most professionals would instantly deny at those prices.

Medium quality, intermediate. At the time, he had scripted a few small projects but never released any of them publicly.

If anyone wants to script an entire game for $70, hit me up

Debugging should never be a minimum of 500, that’s ridiculous lol. I’ve personally only debugged scripts for friends as I’ve never considered it as a job, but if it is, I’d say 0+ depending on how long/complicated the system is.

Hiring an influencer will cost much more than 1K-5K. If it’s someone who can really boost your player count from one video/post, you’ll probably be paying in the tens or hundreds of thousands of robux.
