About this tool
Most "how much does an app cost" articles give you a single scary number with no working shown. This estimator does the opposite: it keeps a simple public model — base hours per platform, a complexity multiplier, and additive hour ranges for auth, AI, integrations, admin, real-time, and design — multiplies by a stated hourly rate, and shows you every line. If you disagree with an assumption, you can see exactly which one and by how much it moves the total.
The honest truth about app pricing: the range is wide because scope is the real variable, not rates. Two founders can describe "an app with AI chat" and mean projects that differ by 5× in effort. Treat these numbers as a sanity check for budgeting conversations, not a quote — and be suspicious of anyone who gives you a precise price before asking detailed questions. Nothing you select leaves the page.
