▶ How the MVP Estimator Works
From a blank page to a fully scoped MVP — in under two minutes. No tech background needed.
Tell us your project type (SaaS, e-commerce, mobile app, etc.), key features, expected user scale, target launch timeline, budget range, and whether you have a tech team. Takes about 90 seconds — no technical knowledge needed.
Our estimation engine — trained on 100+ real-world MVP scope and cost reviews by senior engineers and startup founders — weighs your exact constraints against proven engineering trade-offs. No generic templates. No guesswork.
Receive a recommended tech stack, a prioritised list of MVP features, deferred features for v2, a realistic timeline breakdown by phase, and a cost range in both USD and INR — calibrated to Indian dev agency rates.
If you want to build it, connect with our engineers. We review your scope, sharpen the estimate, and can start in days — not months. Fixed scope, transparent pricing.
Estimation engine trained on 100+ real-world scope and cost variants, reviewed by senior engineers and startup founders — built specifically to give non-tech founders accurate, jargon-free results.
## Frequently Asked Questions
The ranges are based on 100+ real MVP projects reviewed by senior engineers. They account for common scope changes but not unusual edge cases. Treat them as a reliable starting point for budget planning — not a fixed quote.
Yes — completely free with no sign-up required. We make money when founders hire StackPick to build their product. The estimator exists to build trust, not to extract data.
For most SaaS MVPs: Next.js (frontend + API routes), PostgreSQL (database), and Vercel or Railway (hosting). The estimator tailors this recommendation based on your specific features, scale, and team situation.
Typically 5–15 seconds. Our engine generates a fresh analysis for each set of inputs — so your results reflect your specific project, not a cached average.
Yes. Go back to the home page and run it again. Each session is independent — you can tweak your answers to see exactly how different choices affect cost, timeline, and tech stack.
Yes. Every cost estimate is shown in both USD and INR, calibrated to current Indian software development agency rates. The USD range is useful for international comparison.
