Do you think the results from this tool are HIGH? I went through a couple different apps I know and thought the estimate provided by the page needed to be multiplied by 3-5.
The default rates are $56 an hour. For Android/iOS developers, I know a dozen people making $100-200 an hour.
It's a great tool (and note you can actually adjust your price at the bottom), but I would consider all of the quotes around time & rate as the low end.
- marpalmin 11y agoAs I mentioned earlier, it really depends on the country you are in. Outside US $100 - 200 per hours is ver high, even in most EU countries.

IME, you can get to a point where you tally everything up and it comes to $65K, and then you start thinking, well this would be a fun side gig, and I have some free time I otherwise waste, and I sure could buy something cool with even $25K (after tax), and some of my estimates might be a little on the fat side, and this is a buddy (or isn't well funded, or both), and coding is fun enough that I sometimes do it for free anyhow, so I'll bid $45K. And you've not accounted for the inevitable yak shaves, scope creep items, etc, but you got the work for $30K less than you should/could have.
