An application quote needs more than a screen count. User roles, data, integrations and the release environment determine much of the work.
What to do
- Identify target platforms: browser, iOS, Android or a combination, and whether offline use or device capabilities are required.
- Describe user roles, sign-in, notifications, payments, administration and the data each role can access.
- List external APIs and explain who owns the relevant accounts and subscriptions.
- Agree on testing, deployment, monitoring, maintenance and ownership/access handoff as part of the proposal.
Good to know
Store review, third-party approval and platform requirements are outside a developer’s guaranteed control. Hosting and ongoing support should be scoped explicitly.
