The same scoping factors our engineering team uses on real client proposals — packaged into a quick walkthrough you can complete in minutes.
Select CMS website, mobile app, custom development, or web app to set the right scope baseline.
Indicate your target industry and platform needs — iOS, Android, web, or cross-platform.
See a directional scope snapshot for timeline and investment before speaking with our team.
Submit your details and an engineer reviews your selections for a written, project-specific estimate.
This calculator walks through project type, platform, feature set, integrations, and security requirements — the same variables we use when scoping real proposals. Once you submit, a team member follows up with a clear estimate and timeline.
Every project is different, which is why we don't publish flat pricing tables. Your exact investment depends on your feature list, integrations, and design complexity — walked through directly so the number you receive reflects your project, not a generic average.
Most online calculators ask three generic questions and spit out a vague range. Ours feeds straight into a real conversation with our engineers.
Get a starting sense of scope and timeline in under two minutes — no email required to use the tool itself.
Platform, features, backend, and integrations — the same factors our team uses when scoping actual client proposals.
Submit once and a real engineer reviews your answers before reaching out — not a bot or aggressive follow-up sequence.
Every submission gets a written, project-specific estimate within 24 hours based on what you actually selected.
See which choices — platform, features, integrations — move your budget up or down before committing to a full build.
Using the calculator doesn't lock you into anything. It's the fastest way to get a real number to plan around.
Several core variables shape what a project ultimately costs. Understanding these helps you fill out the calculator more accurately.
iOS · Android · Web · Cross-Platform
Building for a single platform is generally the most efficient route. Supporting both iOS and Android — or pairing mobile with web — adds QA time, design variations, and development effort.
Login · Payments · Real-Time · AI
A simple dashboard app requires far less effort than one with real-time tracking, in-app payments, multi-role permissions, or AI-driven features.
| Backend Type | Best Suited For | Relative Effort |
|---|---|---|
| Managed backend (Firebase / Supabase) | MVPs, simple CRUD apps | Lower |
| Custom REST / GraphQL API | Custom business logic, multi-role access | Moderate |
| Microservices architecture | Enterprise-scale, high transaction volume | Higher |
Stripe, PayPal — setup work plus per-transaction fees from the provider.
Google Maps, Mapbox — setup effort plus ongoing API usage at scale.
Firebase, OneSignal — typically a lighter integration path.
Integration effort plus a separate recurring subscription from the provider.
Testing · App Store · CI/CD
Structured QA, security testing, and launch work (app store submissions, SSL, CI/CD) scale up further for regulated industries like fintech or healthcare.
OS Updates · Patches · Iterations
An app is never done at launch. OS updates, security patches, and feature iterations require an ongoing plan — usually quoted separately from the initial build.
These three project types solve different problems — comparing them on cost alone misses the point. Here's how they typically differ in effort.
Native iOS and Android builds require app store submission, device-specific testing, and platform-specific design. Cross-platform can narrow the gap but isn't right for every use case.
A web-only application typically requires less effort than native iOS and Android builds, since it skips app store submission and extensive device-specific testing.
Enterprise platforms and custom software tend to require more investment due to deeper system integrations — ERP, CRM, legacy databases — rather than a standalone consumer product.
Four practical steps that make the biggest difference in the quality of your final quote.

List essential features before you submit. This is the single biggest lever on your final scope and price.
iOS-first, Android-first, or both at once — this choice materially changes effort and timeline.
