How the estimate works
What the estimate is based on
The numbers come from the same price ranges we publish on every service page and cost guide, so the estimate and a real quote start from the same place.
Our published price ranges
- Each project type starts from the range we quote most often for that kind of work.
- Size moves your project within that range: a focused first version sits low, a large build sits high.
The features you choose
- Each feature adds the cost we typically see for building, testing, and launching it.
- Features are built alongside each other, so they add less time than cost.
Platforms, design, and connections
- Two native mobile apps cost about 60 percent more than one shared app.
- Each system you connect adds $1,500 to $4,000, our single integration range.
- A proven template takes 10 percent off; custom and premium design add a set amount.
When you start
- When you want to start never changes the price.
- Timelines count from approved scope, once we have what we need from you.
What moves the number
What changes the price
Two projects with the same name can differ by tens of thousands of dollars. These are the differences that matter most.
Who uses it
- One team using a tool costs less than staff, managers, customers, and partners each with their own screens.
- Every extra role needs its own permissions and testing.
What it connects to
- Modern tools with an API (the defined way one system shares data with another) connect quickly.
- Older systems without one need more work, and sometimes a workaround.
The data you already have
- Starting fresh is cheapest.
- Moving years of records out of spreadsheets or an old system means cleaning, mapping, and checking every field.
Rules you must follow
- Health, payment, and personal data need stronger security, audit logs, and review.
- That work is never optional, so it is always in the quote.
Worth knowing
What the estimate does not include
The estimate covers the work to plan, design, build, test, and launch your project. A few costs sit outside it, and we list them separately in every quote so nothing surprises you.
- Third-party fees: hosting, app store accounts, payment processing, AI usage, and paid plugins.
- Content you supply, such as photography, video, and legal text, unless you ask us to create it.
- Care after launch, which is a monthly plan from $100.
- Taxes, which depend on where your business is registered.
Common questions
Questions about the estimate
How accurate is the estimate?
It starts from the same price ranges we quote from, so it is a realistic guide to your budget. The range is wide on purpose: two projects with the same features can still differ in data, rules, and connections. A 30-minute call is enough to narrow it to a fixed price.
Does starting sooner cost more?
No. When you want to start never changes the price. We ask so we can plan the work and reply in the right order.
Why is the result a range and not one number?
Because a single number before anyone has seen your project would be a guess. The low end assumes a focused scope and clean data; the high end allows for the extra work most projects uncover in planning.
Do I have to give my email to see the result?
No. The result appears as soon as you answer the questions. We only ask for your name and email if you want the full breakdown sent to you and a call booked.
Does the estimate include design and testing?
Yes. Planning, design, building, testing on real devices, and launch are all included. Only third-party fees, content you supply, care after launch, and taxes sit outside it.
What if my project is bigger than the options?
Choose the largest option and size. Projects above the top of a range are quoted on their own scope, usually in stages, each with its own fixed price.
How do I turn the estimate into a real quote?
