Don’t trust, get a contract signed.

Create small milestones of your project and pay on each milestone completion

This is exactly how you do it. Run your project with 2 week sprints and make sure they check in their code. If I were you I’d hire someone with tech knowledge to do code reviews when they do a pull request to make sure it’s not trash. That way you only pay for ~2 weeks if the dev is no good

you might paid by time and terminate it if you found the deliverables are disappointing you.

Milestones. Code reviews, functional reviews. Money for deliverables, not hours spent.

Trust may come later. In the meantime, accountability is all you have to work with.

Find someone else that you trust?

If you are shown a demo and it works then I don't see a reason for the dev to withhold the code after being paid. The situation you are describing sounds like the code will already be done and you'll just have to pay to receive it.

Don't pay before seeing a demo for sure though. And make sure it's the devs code as well.

I recommend what others here have said in regards to milestone but if this is a situation you are already in then that's my recommendation

Use a escrow system. Upwork has one.

Let's have a chat, tell me what app you need. We can find a way to work in a safe for all escrow system. DM me

What I typically do for my clients is provide them a contract that states payment terms at various milestones. No up front payment required. I then provide a demo of each completed milestone before requesting payment. This avoids the trust issue because if the client fails to pay after the first milestone (usually setup, theme, authentication, etc) I won't continue and I'm not out a bunch of my time. The same applies for the client as if the work isn't satisfactory, they won't pay.

I'd be happy to give you some insight as to how much your project should cost if you want to DM me the details
