A small, well-scoped build. One good developer can ship this — keep the scope tight and resist adding 'just one more' feature before launch.
Estimate the cost →Know what you're really asking for
'Can you add a chat feature?' sounds small but often isn't. Real-time chat, video calls, payments and offline support each pull in infrastructure, edge cases and testing that a simple CRUD screen never touches. This estimator lets a founder tick the features they have in mind and immediately see whether they're describing a few-weeks MVP or a multi-month platform — so the conversation about budget and timeline starts from reality, not optimism.
Common questions
How are complexity points decided?
Each feature carries a rough effort weight based on real build experience — a simple profile page is 1, payments are 4, and audio/video calls are 8 because of the infrastructure they need. Adding them up gives a relative complexity score, not an exact hour count.
Is the time estimate reliable?
Treat it as a planning range, not a quote. Real time depends on the developer, the design, edge cases and testing. Use it to sanity-check whether a build is a 'few weeks' or a 'few months' job before you commit a budget.
