How it works
See the work before you commit to it
Show2Build replaces guesswork with a simple, time-boxed challenge: one brief, three developers, a working proof from each.
Create your project
Write a brief describing what you need built — the goal, requirements, budget range, and any assets developers will need (designs, API docs, existing code).
Choose 3 developers
Browse developer profiles and portfolios, then invite exactly three to your challenge. Every project uses the same limit — enough to compare, not so many that it wastes anyone’s time.
The brief goes out
All three developers receive the identical brief at the identical moment. No one gets more information or more time than another.
A 24-hour challenge
Each developer has 24 hours to build a small, genuinely working proof of the hardest or most representative part of your project — plus a short demo video and a full proposal.
Compare, don’t guess
Watch each demo, try each working proof, and read each proposal side-by-side: price, timeline, and technical approach.
Choose your developer
Pick the developer whose build, approach, and price fit best. Agree the full scope, pay the deposit, and move into milestone-based delivery — all on-platform.
