Hey Fratlas, what are you trying to build? Outsourcing can be a tricky thing... I've seen it go wrong more times than right.

Hey Fratlas, what are you trying to build? Outsourcing can be a tricky thing... I've seen it go wrong more times than right.
- fratlas 10y agoSimple(ish) CRUD App? My budget is ~50-80k, is that reasonable?
- GFischer 10y agoI think so. I've been quoted 10-20k for a mobile app (here in Uruguay). Costs do pile up, but 50 to 80k, well managed should get you way beyond an MVP. I'd try to budget half for marketing, testing and other non-development activities. Edit: Gigster's estimates sound okay.
- spsheehan 10y agoHi Fratlas- my name is Steve, I work on the project development team at Gigster. Happy to chat with you about our process and pricing, shoot me an email at steve.s@gigster.com.
- williamtaormina 10y agoNot really that unreasonable, but maybe a bit high. I'd be more than willing to bet that if you down-scope your feature set by 10%, you'd cut development costs by 50%. What exactly are you building?
- fratlas 10y agoReading up on it, I'm starting to think it should be around 15-25k. It's a simple app which involves payment systems, GPS and talking to 1 or 2 APIs, with a very simple FE.
- williamtaormina 10y agoWithout disclosing anything proprietary, I challenge you to describe your "MVP in Three". In other words, what are the three most important value-creating activities your app will facilitate?
- fratlas 10y agoReduce inefficiencies in waiting times on C2B sales through GPS tracking (pretty hard to explain without mentioning the domain).
- williamtaormina 10y agoNot quite what I was looking for, but I'll take it. How's the development hunt going?
