Project Cost Estimator

Project Cost Estimator is a free calculator that tells you what a website or web app should cost before you ask anyone for a quote. Pick the project type, platform, features and the developer's market, and nine pricing engines return a cost range with a median, a timeline, the hourly rate behind it and a line-item breakdown. The figures are calibrated against 600+ project quotes and public rate benchmarks across six markets, from South Asia to the United States, and the method is published. We estimate websites; we do not build them, so the number has no reason to be inflated. Around the calculator sit a rate database (72 platform-by-region hourly bands, CC BY 4.0), a cost index by project type, and cost guides for 200+ industries. Paid tools start once real quotes arrive: a dated PDF report ($15), a Quote Analyzer that scores up to five quotes against your reference estimate ($39), and a written expert review within 24 hours ($99). No signup, no sales calls.
