A free tool that gives founders an instant, honest cost and timeline range for their web app or MVP no sales call, no email required until you want the details. Answer 6 quick questions about your project (features, auth, payments, AI needs, timeline) and get a real ballpark estimate in under a minute. Built by a solo full-stack dev, not an agency so the pricing logic reflects what founder-led builds actually cost.
Hey Product Hunt! š
I'm Dharanidharan, a solo full-stack developer building custom web apps and MVPs for early-stage founders.
Here's the problem I kept running into: founders would message me asking "roughly, what would this cost?" and I'd have to say "let's hop on a call" before giving them even a ballpark number. That's a lot of friction for someone who just wants a rough sense of scope before committing time to a conversation.
So I built the Web App Cost Estimator answer 6 quick questions about your project (type, features, auth, payments, AI needs, timeline) and get an instant cost + timeline range. No email needed unless you want a detailed breakdown sent to you.
A few things I focused on:
ā Real ranges, not fake precision. I'd rather be honestly rough than confidently wrong
ā No gate before you see your result
ā Built the pricing logic around what founder-led builds (not agency-scale teams) actually cost
I'm not an agency it's just me, so pricing here reflects real solo-dev economics, not inflated agency overhead.
Would love your feedback especially if a question felt confusing, or if the estimate felt way off from what you'd expect. Try it with a real idea you're sitting on and let me know what you think! š
