I liked the UX but I didn't like the fact I had to enter my email address - I didn't enter my email address

@dannyaziz97 @owenfar1 point taken. I think that by far this was the most discussed point from those who gave it a spin.

I ran a few calculations to see how close the costs were to the prices my customers paid in the past for app development. It's pretty spot on. Once you think about all the changes the client will make, infrastructure and testing -- it's very justified.

Pros:

Easy to use and does a great job at asking the right questions.

Cons:

Sometimes the prices is a little high.

Totally agree. Clients always update their requirements once the features are developed which will cost more developing time and resources...

The product looks cool, how much would it cost to build something like tik tok?
Wendy Dean
@santhosh_me Thanks! I'm going add tik tok as an example. BRB 🙏
Wendy Dean
@santhosh_me just updated the app. Now tik tok is an example you can view directly. You can click the icon in the bottom of the page or you can directly link to it here: http://www.howmuchtobuildanapp.i...

🎇🍾🥂Happy 2019 Product Hunters!! To start the first day of the year I've created my first project and thought it would be interesting to share. Historic data from Project Management Software + Machine Learning = **PROBLEM The two most common pain points across app development projects are the uncertainty of time and cost. With the mobile app market showing no sign of stopping and technology evolving to expedite development - people are still unsure of how much it REALLY costs to build an app. **SOLUTION This calculator uses machine learning across a few hundred projects to calculate the cost of developing an app in 2019. Give it a spin! I'll keep adding more possible variable inputs and variations. If you have feedback or ideas, please let me know and I will get them in.

I love the UX overall. Very simple and easy to use. Where did you get the data?
Wendy Dean
@ryanhickmam Thanks! The data comes from many agencies around the world. We actually export the data directly from project management tools of real projects.

Hi there! Cool idea =) Please make the 'Previous question' link readable on hover though 😋 You also have a lot of typos ('featues', 'crpyto', ...) Bug: on Advanced features, you can select both 'None' and other features at the same time Bug #2: on Additional features, there's no 'None' button Last remark: quite unhappy that you request the email, even more so since you request it at the end, without being straightforward about it from the start. I'm not entering my email, since I don't see why you need it to show me the result. This feels fishy.

@c10v32c1u6 Thanks for the feedback! We're going to make those adjustments and post the change when we deploy them later today! On a sidenote: Do you freelance as a QA engineer! Could always use a hand 😉
Wendy Dean
@c10v32c1u6 I had my engineer deploy those changes. Thanks again for the feedback 🙏
Clo
@wendyde03942462 I can do basic testing but I'm not an engineer, so it really depends what you need =)
Clo
@wendyde03942462 No problem, well done with being so quick to make the changes!
Wendy Dean
@c10v32c1u6 thank you, thank you. You are far too kind! Just trying to make the best product possible for the community.

wrote a story recently on medium about pricing if it too cheap and too good to be true the project will never get completed Q - how many apps did you use to build your machine learning model ? just curious .

good luck - there a real need for such a product

Pros:

Smart - easy UI - reasonable prices - well put

Cons:

did it before me :-(

Jen Boonie

saw it last night trending on hacker news - tried super fast and to the point

Pros:

Easy to use - super fast and gave me an idea

Cons:

wanted more questions but i guess they covered the main points

Have been thinking about building an app for a long time but didn't have an idea of where to start or how to get an idea of the cost taking many factors into account. This app made me take the first step. This app really did the job for me as it took all those factors I have been thinking about and summed it up for me in one cost figure for me to see clearly. Thanks!
Wendy Dean
@kenny_quach Thanks! In my freelance days I commonly developed projects for clients that were similar to other popular apps. Far too many times I found myself doing more learning than earning because I was undercutting everyone...even myself. After working at a bigger agency and with larger companies I found how much apps really cost to be done the right way. Much of that is presented here in this tool.

Very nice UI first of all. Secondly, it is nice to have some reference when people wants to build an app without knowing too much of the real marketing. 👍
