AI Software Cost Estimator

👋 Hey Product Hunt! I’m Rokas, founder at Idea Link, where we’ve developed over 100 software products for clients and ourselves over the past 5 years. Along the way, we realized how much guesswork goes into project planning, especially around costs and timelines. That’s why we built something to solve it. Today we’re super happy to launch the AI Software Cost Estimator—a tool we’ve been using internally and decided to share with the world! 🎉 So, what’s the deal? It’s a free tool that takes just 7 simple questions about your idea and turns it into a complete project plan in minutes: - Problem & solution statement - User roles - Detailed Feature breakdown with user stories - Risks - Hidden back-end logic - Costs - Detailed timeline We’ve built this based on our experience developing over 100 projects, and we’re proud to say it’s 90% accurate (as shown by our internal benchmarks ). Whether you’re an entrepreneur, maker, or developer, this tool brings transparency to your project and helps you understand the full scope before you even begin. Here’s who this tool is for: Entrepreneurs: Understand the complexity and costs of your MVP, and plan more effectively. Developers: Get a deeper look at backend needs and potential project risks. Anyone building software: It takes the guesswork out of project planning and helps communicate expectations to your team. We’d love for you to try it out for free and share your feedback! Let us know what additional features you’d like to see - we’re all ears. 🙌 Thanks for checking it out, and we’re super excited to hear what you think

wow! Such a timesaver!! It works pretty well tbh and gives great summaries! No more long initial discussions with a client haah :D

I like the onboarding process! Congrats on your launch!

Congrats Rokas and the Idea Link team! 🚀 I just tried the AI Software Cost Estimator, and the final result looks super professional. Well done!

Really nice tool to ideate and weigh how viable ideas are and also to see what hidden risks they have, because some of them are not always easily spotted. One minuscule thing I would improve is I would allow entering email while waiting for the report to be generated, but other than that - great job!
