Software Development Cost Calculator

Cost depends on complexity: a simple mobile MVP starts at $15-25k (4-8 weeks), a medium-complexity app with payments, auth, and admin panel runs $30-60k (3-5 months), and complex enterprise apps with multi-platform delivery and integrations land at $70-150k+ (5-9 months). The calculator returns an estimate range for the feature scope and team you select — a guide, not a contract. At WIZICO Tech (Almaty; serving Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and the UAE) we name the firm fixed price only after the Design phase: under our Diagnose → Design → Build → Evolve approach, no code is written until architecture, timeline, and budget are fixed. First, a Diagnose audit of 1-2 weeks at a fixed cost de-risks the work and clarifies scope. Stack: React Native, Kotlin, Swift on the front end, Node/Go/Java/Python on the back end, AI/ML, and Kubernetes/cloud. Describe your project in the calculator or build a brief with our AI brief generator.

Cost scales with platform maturity: a SaaS MVP (core feature + basic billing + auth + landing) is $25-50k in 2-3 months; production-grade SaaS with multi-tenancy, full admin, billing flows, and API is $60-120k; enterprise SaaS at scale with SSO, audit logs, and compliance is $150-300k. AI features add 20-30%. The calculator shows an estimate range for the scope you select — a budgeting guide, not a final contract. At WIZICO Tech (Almaty; serving Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, the UAE) we fix the firm price after the Design phase: under our Diagnose → Design → Build → Evolve approach, no code starts until architecture, timeline, and budget are fixed. A Diagnose audit of 1-2 weeks at a fixed cost clarifies multi-tenancy, billing, and compliance needs before build. Stack: React/Next/TS, Node/Go/Java/Python, AI/ML, Kubernetes/cloud; draft a brief via our AI brief generator.

The cheapest path is to scope tight: define one core feature and one user role, use a proven stack (Next.js + Stripe for billing + Clerk for auth), skip native mobile and start with web/PWA, and lean on templates and managed services. This keeps an MVP at $10-20k in 6-8 weeks. The calculator gives an estimate range for this scope — a guide, not a contract; the firm price is set after the Design phase. Under WIZICO Tech's Diagnose → Design → Build → Evolve approach, no code is written until architecture, timeline, and budget are fixed, and a Diagnose audit of 1-2 weeks at a fixed cost helps scope tight to minimize cost without compromising validation goals. We are in Almaty, serving Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and the UAE; stack React/Next/TS, Node/Go/Java/Python, AI/ML, Kubernetes/cloud. Try different configurations in the calculator or build a brief with our AI brief generator to see how scope shifts the budget.

Because software costs depend on scope decisions that emerge during design — not just initial requirements. Hidden complexity such as legacy integrations, performance edge cases, and compliance often adds 20-50%, and an honest range reflects that uncertainty before it is measured. So the calculator gives an estimate range upfront as a guide, and we fix the firm price after a 1-2 week discovery (the Design phase). Under WIZICO Tech's Diagnose → Design → Build → Evolve approach, no code is written until architecture, timeline, and budget are fixed: a Diagnose audit of 1-2 weeks at a fixed cost de-risks by designing first and coding second, narrowing the range to a single figure. We are in Almaty, serving Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and the UAE; stack React/Next/TS, Node/Go/Java/Python, AI/ML, Kubernetes/cloud. Our AI brief generator helps clarify requirements and draft a brief to tighten the estimate.

Yes — typical savings versus EU/US agencies are 50-70% at comparable quality. Kazakhstan's engineering talent matches international standards: we focus on hiring senior engineers, and working hours overlap with EU, the Middle East, and partial US East Coast, which makes synchronous collaboration easy. Unlike most freelance markets, we provide fixed-price guarantees: the calculator shows an estimate range, and WIZICO Tech fixes the firm price after the Design phase. Under our Diagnose → Design → Build → Evolve approach, no code starts until architecture, timeline, and budget are fixed, and a Diagnose audit of 1-2 weeks at a fixed cost removes risk early. We are WIZICO Technologies LLP, Almaty, serving Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and the UAE. Stack: React/Next/TS, Node/Go/Java/Python, React Native/Kotlin/Swift, AI/ML, Kubernetes/cloud. You can build a brief for an estimate via our AI brief generator.

The calculator estimate covers design + development + QA + deployment of the scope you select. It excludes ongoing maintenance (typically 15-25%/year), third-party costs (Stripe fees, cloud bills, paid APIs), and post-launch feature additions. It is an estimate range to guide planning, not a final contract: WIZICO Tech names the firm, line-item price after the Design phase. Under our Diagnose → Design → Build → Evolve approach, no code is written until architecture, timeline, and budget are fixed, and a Diagnose audit of 1-2 weeks at a fixed cost clarifies the work involved. We provide a detailed line-item breakdown after our discovery call. We are WIZICO Technologies LLP, Almaty, serving Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and the UAE; stack React/Next/TS, Node/Go/Java/Python, React Native/Kotlin/Swift, AI/ML, Kubernetes/cloud.
