What development actually costs — and what drives it.

We don't quote blind. Here's how MSApps prices mobile, web, and AI projects, what changes the number, and what's honestly negotiable.

Typical project ranges

• Mobile MVP (iOS + Android): $40K–$120K — depends on backend complexity, integrations, and design polish.
• Web platform: $30K–$200K — varies enormously by data model, user roles, and integrations.
• AI agent (single workflow): $15K–$60K — discovery + 14-day prototype + production launch with SOSA controls.
• Dedicated staffing: $7K–$15K per engineer per month, based on seniority and stack.

What drives the number up

• Custom backend or compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOC 2, accessibility audits).
• Real-time or AI-heavy features that need careful architecture.
• Multiple integrations with legacy systems.
• Tight timelines — accelerated delivery costs more, always.

What we can flex on

• Phased delivery — ship the highest-value 30% in V1, validate, then expand.
• Mixed-seniority team — pair senior architects with mid-level builders.
• Existing codebase — if you have something to start from, we don’t rebuild what works.

How we quote

1. Free discovery call — 30-60 min to understand scope.
2. Written estimate within 5 business days — fixed-fee for defined scope, T&M for exploratory.
3. No surprise invoices — anything outside the agreed scope is flagged + quoted before we do it.
