Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built this because every "website cost calculator" I tried was either: 🚫 A lead-gen trap that emailed me a vague price range later 🚫 Wildly inaccurate (one quoted me $50K for a $5K project) 🚫 Hidden behind a paywall with sales calls So I built one that's actually useful — and free. **What it does:** 1. Pick your project type (ecommerce, blog, web app, marketplace, etc.) 2. Configure features (auth, search, integrations, multilingual, etc.) 3. Get an instant estimate with cost breakdown, recommended platform, timeline, complexity score, risk level, and ROI projection The calculation runs **9 transparent engines** — you can see exactly which inputs drive which numbers. No black box, no email gate. **What makes it different:** ✅ Calibrated against 600+ real project quotes across 5 markets (US, UK, Western EU, Eastern EU, Australia) ✅ Pricing data refreshes weekly from 8 sources (Upwork, Clutch, GoodFirms, etc.) ✅ Smart defaults pre-fill 80% of inputs based on project type — you only adjust what matters ✅ Live-updating sidebar with animated price counter, complexity gauge, risk indicator ✅ Free forever, no signup, no email required **How I keep it sustainable:** - Optional $8 PDF report (white-label friendly for freelancers/agencies) - Affiliate links to recommended hosting (Cloudways, Kinsta, SiteGround, Shopify) - $99 expert review for high-stakes projects **Built solo over 6 months.** Stack: Next.js 14, TypeScript, Tailwind, Framer Motion, Zustand, Vercel. I'd love your feedback — especially on: 1. Does the estimate match what you'd actually quote for similar scopes? 2. What features are missing? 3. Would you use this for client proposals? Trying it out and dropping honest feedback in the comments would mean a lot 🙏 — Florin
