How Much Should Your Web App Actually Cost?

Most agencies quote you $80K–$150K and 12 months. This calculator shows you what you actually need — and what you don't.

10 questions. 3 minutes. Personalized breakdown.

The $100K question nobody's asking

You don't need a full build. You need proof it works.

The average failed software project wastes $85,000 and 9 months before anyone admits the idea wasn't validated. That's not a development failure — it's a decision-making failure.

This calculator shows you the smart alternative: build the minimum viable version that proves the concept, then scale what works. You'll see exactly what a prototype costs vs a full build — and what gets included in each.
