Five questions, an instant indicative range, and no email required. Then a real fixed quote within 24 hours if you want one.
Answer five questions and you get an indicative range straight away — no form, no download, no follow-up sequence. Your answers stay in your browser unless you choose to send them.
Most agencies put a cost calculator behind an email form. We think that is the wrong trade: you give up your details before you know whether the answer is useful, and we get a lead who resents us slightly. So the number appears immediately, and your answers stay in your browser.
If you want a real figure rather than a band, that is a conversation — also free, and it produces a written fixed price with a delivery date inside 24 hours.
| Factor | Effect | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Number of user types | Large | Each role adds screens, permissions and testing — often the biggest single driver |
| Real-time features | Large | Live tracking or chat needs different infrastructure, not just more screens |
| Payments | Medium to large | Proration, refunds, failed payments and tax are all separate work |
| Offline support | Medium | Local storage plus sync plus conflict handling is effectively a second data layer |
| Extra platforms | Medium | Cross-platform shares most code; two native builds roughly double mobile effort |
| Designs already done | Reduces | Approved designs remove the whole design phase |
| Integrations | Varies | Each third-party system carries its own error handling and edge cases |
The band is most useful as a sanity check. A quote far below it usually means the scope was misunderstood and change orders are coming. A quote far above it is not necessarily wrong — but you are entitled to ask what it includes that others do not.
Our full breakdown of regional rates and hidden cost drivers is in the app development cost guide — also ungated.
Most people arrive somewhere between “just curious” and “ready to sign”. These are the smaller, fixed-fee ways in — each one useful on its own, and each one credited or extended into a bigger project only if you decide you want that.
You have a codebase — inherited, stalled, or just worrying — and want an honest read before committing to anything.
You know roughly what you want but not what it should cost or contain. Turn a vague idea into a specification you could hand to any supplier.
One workflow, one screen set, live and in use — rather than waiting on a full platform.
An existing product that needs keeping alive: patches, OS updates, store policy changes and monitoring.
Not sure which fits? Describe the problem and we will tell you — including when the answer is that you do not need us yet.
Not values on a wall — contract terms. Ask any other supplier to match them line by line.
Send a brief, get a fixed written price and a delivery date the next working day. Free, no obligation, and the scope document is yours to keep even if you go elsewhere.
Fixed, not an estimate. If scope changes we re-quote in writing and you approve before we build it. You will never open a surprise invoice.
50% to start, 50% when it is live and you are satisfied. You never fund the whole project up front.
We do not write production code until you approve the screens. Changing your mind at that stage costs nothing.
Full source code, design files and credentials on delivery. No licence, no platform fee, nothing that stops another developer taking over.
Free bug fixing for a month after launch, then an optional retainer only if you want one.
Every one of these is in the agreement before you pay anything. See how we evidence our claims →
A paragraph is enough to start. You get a scoping conversation and a fixed written price with a delivery date within 24 hours — free, and yours to keep whether or not you go ahead with us.
