Built an app for a client — now he says he can’t afford it. What would you do?
Hello Everyone, So I'm a full stack developer and I take projects mostly MVP. I charge around $499 for a basic MVP with 1-2 core features, Application landing page, payment page, posthog integration. DB. Basically to make the application run what all needed I build that.
Now when I started freelancing I didn't ask for advance payment for the project to build. And eventually most of the time lost the client.
So, I started taking a bare minimum advance payment to start the project. Lost many people who were willing to build something but home not serious with that.
Now this time I built the project and only got $50 the initial advance amount. And the client is saying he won't be able to pay me the rest amount as he can't afford that project currently.
I know there are many experienced people in this sub. what are your suggestions on this.
