I'd guess you're off by 10x to 50x. Your rough design specification is only the very beginning. Would you say it's around the Obama campaign app's complexity?

I'd guess you're off by 10x to 50x. Your rough design specification is only the very beginning. Would you say it's around the Obama campaign app's complexity? $50,000-$150,000. Would you say it's around Twitterrific's complexity? $200,000. Or Instagram, which needed back-end services as well? $500,000. Flipboard raised a $10.5 million series A funding round to build its app, along with acquiring a semantic indexing startup and whatever other tech they're building to support the eventual advertising play.
