Developer & Business Tools for Founders, Freelancers & Developers 🇧🇩

3 Jun 2026 6 min read

Assalamu Alaikum. Over the last 7+ years I've had the chance to work on all kinds of software projects — web apps, mobile apps, ERPs, startup platforms and business automation systems, big and small.

One thing I noticed again and again: founders, business owners, freelancers — even developers — keep looking for answers to the same questions before they start a project.

  • How much will my project cost?
  • Should I build a mobile app or a web app?
  • Laravel or Node.js?
  • Flutter, or something else?
  • AWS or Hetzner for hosting?
  • How much RAM or server do I actually need?
  • Will the project be able to scale in the future?
  • Freelancer, agency or my own team?
  • Is the developer giving me wrong information?
  • What features should actually go in the MVP?

The problem is, practical answers to these questions aren't available in one place. That's exactly why I built Programmer Hasan Tools — a free collection of tools, calculators, planners and recommendation systems that make software planning, costing, infrastructure, hosting, scalability and technical decision-making easier.

🎯 Who are these tools for?

  • Startup founders
  • Business owners
  • NGOs
  • Freelancers
  • Software developers
  • Agency owners
  • Project managers
  • Students

In short — anyone who works on software projects, or wants to.

🛠️ What's inside?

Software planning tools

Plan your project before you write a single line of code.

  • Software Project Planner
  • MVP Planner
  • Startup planning tools
  • Production Readiness Checker

Cost estimation tools

Understand the realistic budget for your project.

  • Software Cost Calculator
  • Cloud Hosting Cost Calculator
  • Flutter App Cost Calculator
  • Monthly Running Cost Estimator

Hosting & infrastructure tools

Find the hosting and server that actually fit your project.

  • Hosting Recommender
  • Server Requirement Calculator

Developer tools

Startup tools

The most useful category for founders.

  • MVP Scope Planner
  • Free startup resource guide

Productivity tools

Find the device that's most suitable for the work you do.

  • Device Recommender
  • PC vs Laptop vs MacBook comparison
  • Workstation recommendation

💡 Why I built this

Honestly, many founders spend money in the wrong places right at the start.

  • Someone jumps onto AWS when a single VPS would have run the project just fine.
  • Someone wants 50 features in their MVP, when 5 features could have tested the market.
  • Someone hires a freelancer with no idea about GitHub, source-code or hosting ownership — and runs into problems later.

I wanted these tools to help people make at least an informed decision.

🇧🇩 Built with Bangladesh in mind

Many international calculators don't match the reality of Bangladesh. I tried to give recommendations that work for:

  • Bangladeshi startups
  • Local businesses
  • NGOs
  • Freelancers
  • Small teams

Where it matters, I've included local payment gateways, budget-friendly hosting, practical startup stacks and real-world recommendations.

🚀 My goal

My goal is simple: help people plan a little better before starting a software project — cut unnecessary costs, choose the right technology, and build a strong foundation for future growth.

If these tools save even one person from a single wrong decision, the effort is worth it.

I built all of this from my 7+ years of real-world software development experience. I hope it helps you, Inshallah. 🤲 — Programmer Hasan
