We design and build the MVPs we estimate
This calculator gives you a scope, timeline, and cost range in minutes — no sales call required. If the numbers work for you, Codeles can also design and build that MVP directly: mobile app, SaaS platform, AI product, or marketplace, with founder-led delivery, clear milestones, and full code ownership.

App cost calculator FAQ
- How much does it cost to build an app?
- For a startup MVP built by a small senior team, a simple app typically costs $4k–$8k (4–6 weeks), a standard MVP $8k–$18k (8–12 weeks), an advanced MVP $18k–$40k (12–18 weeks), and a complex product $40k+. Platforms, user roles, and features like payments, real-time chat, video calling, or AI move a project up these bands.
- What affects app development cost the most?
- Scope is the biggest driver: the number of user roles, screens, and integrations. Platforms (iOS, Android, web, or all three), real-time features, payments, video or audio calling, and AI features each add significant work. Starting with a focused MVP is the most reliable way to control cost.
- What is an MVP calculator?
- An MVP calculator turns your product idea into a startup-ready estimate. The Codeles MVP Calculator scores your scope, then returns an estimated timeline, cost range, recommended tech stack, and a phased launch roadmap — instantly, with no sales call required.
- How accurate is the MVP cost estimate?
- The estimate is a deterministic, experience-based range derived from product type, platforms, and feature complexity. It's a planning benchmark—not a fixed quote. A scoped proposal follows a short discovery call where we confirm details and edge cases.
- Can Codeles build the MVP after estimation?
- Yes. Codeles designs, builds, and launches mobile apps, SaaS platforms, AI products, and marketplaces. After your estimate you can request a free consultation and we'll turn the scope into a delivery plan.
- Does the calculator include AI products?
- Absolutely. AI Product is a product type and AI Integration is a feature — both increase the complexity score and recommend an AI-ready stack. A deeper AI-powered scope report (user stories, architecture, database modules) is coming soon.
