Cost FAQs
How much does it cost to build an app?
It depends entirely on the app - a single number would be misleading. The estimates above are real, itemised MVP costs for common app ideas, built from actual PRDs. Use them as a starting point, then get a structured estimate for your exact idea with ChatStack.
Are these real quotes or rough guesses?
Each estimate is built from a full PRD - user stories, functional and non-functional requirements, and a technical specification - priced feature by feature at our AI-accelerated delivery rate. Click into any app to see the full breakdown.
Why are your quotes often more competitive than expected?
AI-accelerated development lets us build faster without cutting quality, and we reuse patterns from apps we've already shipped. That combination brings the cost down without pushing you toward a no-code platform whose code and IP you don't own.
Does this include hosting and ongoing maintenance?
No - these are one-time MVP build costs. Use the app cost calculator to estimate hosting and retainer costs over five years, or see our hosting and maintenance pricing for typical ongoing costs once your app is live.
