MVP / App Cost Estimator

Build a transparent MVP development cost range from selected features, editable effort assumptions, contingency, hourly rate and weekly capacity.

Scope and effort ranges

Illustrative person-hours. Replace the ranges with your own estimates.

App foundation and deployment
Sign-in and user accounts
Dashboard and CRUD workflows
Subscriptions and payments
One external API integration
One AI-assisted workflow
Admin area and roles
Testing and launch hardening

Rate and capacity

Your estimate

Effort with contingency
115.2 - 230.4 hours
Development cost
$5,760.00 - $11,520.00
At your weekly capacity
3.8 - 7.7 weeks

Editable planning assumptions, not a quote. Independent features are summed; parallel work, dependencies, review delays, vendor subscriptions and ongoing hosting are not modeled.

How it works

Add the low and high person-hour estimates for selected features, apply your contingency percentage, then multiply by your hourly rate. Divide effort by your project hours per week for an equivalent duration. Every default range is an illustrative assumption you can change.

Know the limits

This is not a client quote, fixed delivery promise or market-price benchmark. It excludes discovery uncertainty, major revisions, design complexity, compliance, app-store review, infrastructure and vendor fees. Work dependencies and team coordination can change calendar time. Review the scope with a developer before committing.
