How We Estimate the Cost of a Project

7 Nov 2026 · 4 min read

What goes into our quotes, and why the price depends on scope rather than guesswork.

We break the work down

We split your project into screens, features and integrations, and estimate each piece. This gives a far more reliable number than a single guess.

What affects the price

Number of screens, user roles, payments, third-party integrations, admin panels, design complexity and testing needs.

Fixed quote or hourly?

When the scope is clear, we give a fixed quote. When it's likely to change, hiring a dedicated developer from $9/hour is usually better value.

What about changes?

With fixed-cost projects, new features outside the agreed scope are quoted separately. With a dedicated developer, you simply reprioritise.
