Scaling from 50 to 100 developers reveals significant negotiation opportunities. At 50 developers, you can expect to pay between $34,886 (median) and $47,413 (95th percentile) annually, while 100 developers ranges from $67,552 to $89,858. Per-developer costs decrease at higher volumes, with a 3.2% reduction from $698 to $676. Companies at the 50th percentile achieve 34% discounts at 50 developers versus 36% at 100 developers. Use this leverage to negotiate a tiered discount structure.
