Questions founders ask
Is this calculator specific to my idea?
No — this gives you the category-level range (SaaS, marketplace, etc). For a cost estimate built from your actual idea description, use AiiQA's free validator, which factors in your specific scope and features.
Why is there a range instead of one number?
Scope is the biggest cost driver, not the category. A SaaS product can cost ₹4L or ₹10L depending on how many features are in the first version — the figures here are the typical midpoint for a reasonably scoped first version.
Does this include ongoing costs after launch?
No — this is a one-time build cost estimate. Hosting, support, and iteration after launch are ongoing costs not included in these figures.
