Factors That Affect Cost

Why Platform Matters

Web-only is the most cost-effective starting point (~$8-15K). Mobile adds iOS + Android (~$15-25K). Both platforms together (~$20-35K). Cross-platform frameworks (React Native) can reduce mobile costs by 30-40%. Most founders start web-only and add mobile once they have traction.

Complexity Multiplier

Simple SaaS (basic CRUD, simple workflows): 0.7x base cost. Moderate SaaS (multiple roles, standard features): 1x base cost. Complex SaaS (advanced permissions, sophisticated logic): 1.5-2x base cost.

  • " Payments: $2.5K (Stripe integration + subscription logic)
  • " Admin dashboard: $4K (user management, analytics, settings)
  • " Third-party APIs: $1.5K each (integration + error handling)
