Project cost estimator
Answer five short questions to see an indicative budget range in Hong Kong dollars, a rough timeline and what drives the number. It runs in your browser, needs no sign-up and sends nothing unless you choose to.
About this estimate: it is an indicative range produced from general project patterns, not a quotation. Your requirements, integrations and constraints can move the real figure up or down.

How to read your result
The estimator starts from the typical effort for the kind of product you chose, adds effort for each extra platform, feature and integration, and then turns that effort into a timeline and a budget band. The band is intentionally wide, because early in a project the biggest unknowns are still unknown.
Not included: hosting and cloud fees, app store accounts, third-party charges such as payment or messaging fees, content creation and ongoing maintenance. These depend on your choices and are discussed during scoping.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is this estimate?
It is deliberately broad. It combines typical effort for a project type, the platforms and features you select and the weight of any integrations. Treat it as a way to sense the size of a project, not as a prediction of the final price.
Is this a quotation?
No. A quotation needs a conversation about your goals, users, existing systems and constraints. The estimate helps you decide whether that conversation is worth having and what to prepare for it.
What does the range include?
Scoping, design, development, testing and support for launch. It excludes hosting and cloud fees, app store accounts, third-party charges such as payment or messaging fees, content creation and ongoing maintenance.
Why is the range so wide?
At this stage nobody knows how many edge cases exist, how well your existing systems are documented or how much design iteration will be needed. A narrow figure now would imply a certainty that does not exist.
Why does an urgent timeline cost more?
Finishing sooner usually means more people working in parallel, which adds coordination effort and cost. A flexible timeline leaves room to sequence the work efficiently.
Does selecting more features always raise the estimate?
Usually, because every feature adds design, build and test effort. Some overlap: a booking system already includes booking and scheduling, so selecting that feature adds nothing extra.
Is my information stored or sent anywhere?
No. Your answers stay in your browser while you use the tool. They are passed to the enquiry form only if you choose to send the estimate with your enquiry, and even then they stay in your own browser session until you submit the form yourself.
How can I get a more accurate figure?
Describe your project in the enquiry form, or draft it first with the project brief builder. After a conversation about scope we can propose a first phase with a clear boundary and a firmer price.
