How the calculator works

Pricing an MVP is the first hard decision every founder faces. Get it wrong and you run out of runway before you reach product-market fit. This calculator uses ranges from our own delivered projects — SaaS platforms, marketplaces, mobile apps, monitoring systems and AI agents — to turn your requirements into a realistic budget.

You choose a product type, tick the features the first release genuinely needs, set the design depth, then pick the platforms. Each choice carries a known cost and time increment, so the estimate reflects real delivery effort rather than a guess.

The result is a cost range, a timeline in weeks, a sprint count and a team shape you can take straight into a budget conversation. When you are ready, we turn it into a fixed-price scope.

Project complexity

A single-tenant internal tool costs far less than a two-sided marketplace with matching logic.

Feature count

Auth, payments and messaging are the three biggest cost drivers in most MVPs.

Design requirements

Component libraries ship fast; bespoke motion design adds weeks.

Platform coverage

Adding native mobile alongside web typically increases effort by around 45%.
