I need to rebuild a couple of apps that I am involved with and this tool will help my management team to better estimate cost.

@wesley_marshall thanks! 💡💡💡Having a moment 💡💡💡 It would be cool to create a space for calculating how much it costs to REBUILD an app.

In my experience, most calculators and devshops will quote you WAY below the actual cost of the app, and the project will run over budget. I think that from a development point of view (feature-oriented) it becomes much clearer what the cost is going to be, and this calculator does a great job on focusing on those signals to quote you.

Only downside for me is, there's no timeline estimate -- so I guess that's more of a feature request! I'd love to see a breakdown of time estimates if this data is available as timeline is just as important as budget for me.

Pros:

Easy to use, nice UI, pretty cool idea, and finally some accurate estimates!

Cons:

Doesn't include timeline in report

Love the overall design of the application, simple elegant and fun to use. The estimates are an eye opener for anyone who wants to start building an application. Overall very good design and usage. 🎉

I thought about this application so many times when i have to build an application of my own, but now I need not to worry, I can just use this application to understand the financial lines. Thank you for this application !

Pros:

UI, To the point, Fair numbers

Cons:

None

Really neat idea and very well executed. The UI is really nice but a little sluggish sometimes.

The price quoted is high but reasonable--these are closer to the real cost, the cost after a project inevitably goes over budget. I will definitely be using this in my next project! Keep up the good work 💪🏻

Pros:

Excellent Idea

Cons:

Kinda slow some times

Machine learning algorithm to predict such a valid use case is awesome, useful scenario for every type of application before making financial decisions.

@ambebenson thanks -we will share some on the info on the Algo in few days on medium if you are interested

I am amazed by seeing the cost few teams can charge for building a Tinder like app. ($3,25,000 if outsourced). My team can build this at 15% of the cost for both Android & iOS platform.

@vishalkrsingh it would be awesome if you could share some of your data. this is a machine-learned data set that calculates these prices. In fact you can read how we calculated everything here: https://medium.com/@team_96861/h...

I love the design. Concept is similar to Crew's How Much To Make An App but much nicer looking. Does the data come from your own organization?

@simgooder Thank you so much!!! The data comes from 41 dev shops across the world. We extracted data from the project management tools to calculate everything. The most important thing was that the apps were completed. That was something that was rare to see. Often the apps would be good and lower price, however they would not be complete so we did not factor their data in. We're always looking for data. So if you or any shop wants to share it would be great. It would improve the accuracy and become an even more useful resource for the community. Thanks again!

Ahaha we used the same site template for our product today: https://www.producthunt.com/post... that’s really funny :)
