Frequently asked questions

How does the quote checker work?

It estimates the typical build effort for an app like yours from its type, features, user types, integrations and design level, then prices that effort at typical rates for the kind of developer who quoted you. Your quote is compared with that range, and the checklist shows what your quote leaves unclear.

What if my quote is much cheaper than the typical range?

A very low quote is not always good news. It often means features, testing, launch or support are missing from the scope, or that costs will appear later as change requests. Ask for a written list of everything included before you sign.

What if my quote is higher than the typical range?

It may still be fair: experienced teams, complex integrations, compliance needs and thorough testing all cost more. Ask what is driving the price and whether a smaller first version could be built first.

Why does custom code cost more than no-code?

Custom code usually takes roughly twice as long to build as a comparable no-code app on a platform such as Bubble.io, because more has to be built from scratch. It can be the right choice for very complex or high-scale products, but it costs more to build and change.
