A well-defined MVP typically costs $15,000–$45,000 and takes 8–14 weeks. A full SaaS platform typically costs $60,000–$180,000 over 5–9 months. Dedicated developer rates range from $40–$75 per hour depending on seniority and specialisation. We provide a detailed estimate with a line-item breakdown and risk factors after the discovery call — never a vague range chosen to win the conversation.
