Estimate software costs before you build

Projecto launched on January 18, 2026 with 1 votes.

What it does

Most software projects go over budget before the first line of code. Projecto helps founders estimate real development costs before building. It breaks projects into features, complexity, integrations, and scalability, not guesses or hourly math. Get clearer scope, realistic budgets, and confidence before talking to developers or agencies. Plan smarter. Build less blindly.

Estimate software development costs for SaaS, apps, marketplaces, healthcare, fintech, and e-commerce projects. Calculate budget, timeline, and team requirements in minutes.

Projecto Calculator estimates are based on role-based effort benchmarks and typical development workloads. They provide a realistic planning range, but final cost and delivery time may vary depending on scope, requirements, technical choices, and execution. No. The results are not a quote and are not binding. They are intended to support early planning and budgeting, not to serve as a contractual offer. Yes. Many agencies and freelancers use Projecto Calculator for early estimates and internal planning. For client-facing proposals, we recommend validating the output with detailed scoping before finalizing price and timeline. Projecto Calculator does not require you to submit sensitive…from projecto-calculator.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
