How it works

How we calculate your estimate

The estimator uses the same pricing we use for real quotes, simplified into a few steps. Here is exactly what it does:

  • Each project type starts from the smallest sensible version: custom design, one platform, normal pace.
  • Each feature you tick adds its typical cost range, taken from projects we have delivered.
  • Extra platforms add a share of the build, not a full rebuild, because they share one backend.
  • A ready-made theme lowers the price, and a premium brand experience raises it.
  • Integrations such as payments, WhatsApp or KYC are added as fixed amounts.
  • An urgent timeline adds about 25% for a larger team. A flexible one saves about 5%.

Indicative estimate; fixed quote after a short call. The range reflects typical projects built by RED SAG in Tiruppur, India, for clients in India, the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. Your final price depends on the detailed scope we agree in writing.

FAQ

Cost estimator questions

What is the typical software development cost in India?

With us, a starter business website costs ₹15,000–25,000, a theme-based online store starts at ₹35,000, and a web app or SaaS MVP typically costs ₹1.75–3.5 lakh. Mobile apps start at ₹1.75 lakh for an MVP. Market rates vary widely between freelancers and agencies, so use the estimator for a range that matches your features.

What drives web app development cost the most?

The number of user roles, the integrations (payments, WhatsApp, accounting, KYC) and real-time features such as chat or live tracking. Screens matter less than most people expect. Each of these is a separate question in the estimator, so you can see how much each one adds.

How accurate is the cost estimate?

It is an indicative range based on the prices of projects we have delivered, not a quote. The fixed quote comes after a short call, once we understand your users, screens and integrations.

Why is the estimate a range and not a single price?

The same feature can be simple or complex. A "bookings" feature might be one form or a full calendar with deposits and reminders. The low end assumes the simpler version and the high end the fuller one. We narrow it to one fixed price when we write the scope.

Which currency are the prices in?

We price in Indian rupees and convert for other countries using rounded rates (US$1 = ₹85, with pounds, Australian and Canadian dollars in proportion). Your fixed quote can be issued in INR, USD, GBP, AUD or CAD.

Does the estimate include hosting and third-party fees?

No. It covers design, development, testing and launch. Hosting, app store accounts, SMS or WhatsApp message charges, payment gateway fees and paid APIs are billed by those providers, and we help you choose cost-effective plans.

What happens after I send my estimate?

We read your answers and reply within one working day, usually with a few questions. After a 30-minute call we send a written scope with a fixed price and timeline. There is no obligation, and we can sign an NDA before you share details.

Can I start smaller and add features later?

Yes, and we usually recommend it. Launch a first version with the features that matter most, learn from real users, then add the rest in planned phases, each with its own fixed price.
