Get an AI Quote

The DDOBS AI Quote Tool is an instant estimator that gives you a rough cost range for designing and developing your digital app. It’s built to help founders, product teams, and entrepreneurs quickly understand what level of investment is typically required for building the type of app they’re envisioning. By providing a detailed description of your idea, you’ll receive a ballpark quote in seconds, helping you make informed early-stage decisions.

The AI-generated quote is not an exact figure. It uses industry benchmarks and historical project data to produce a preliminary cost estimate based on the features, complexity, and scope you select. Since every app is different, especially when it comes to design requirements, integrations, scalability, and launch timelines, the only way to get an accurate quote is by discussing your project with our team directly.

The estimate includes planning, design and development phases for iOS, UX/UI design, backend architecture, integrations with third-party services (where relevant), and testing. It also considers whether your app needs features like user accounts, payments, push notifications, or advanced APIs. While helpful, the quote is figurative—it doesn’t account for deeper technical details, brand strategy, or ongoing product management.

To receive a detailed proposal tailored to your vision, simply reach out by requesting to be contacted about your project. Once we understand your goals, users, and requirements, we’ll prepare a custom project scope and budget. This real quote reflects not only the tech and design needs but also timelines, team structure, and support plans after launch.

Yes, the AI quote is an excellent starting point. Many founders and teams use it to shape internal discussions, set investor expectations, or decide whether to pursue a full MVP or phased launch. While it’s not a binding proposal, it gives a clear sense of what professional app development typically costs in today’s market.

The tool is built for startup founders, product managers, marketers, and businesses exploring new digital products. Whether you’re building your first iOS app or expanding your ecosystem, it helps validate your idea from a budget standpoint before moving into development.

A strong product brief should explain what your app does, who it’s for, and what problem it solves. It should include key features you want to launch with, your preferred timeline, any third-party services you need to connect to, and an idea of your brand or visual style. If you’ve already done user research, have wireframes, or know your monetisation strategy (like subscriptions or in-app purchases), include those as well. A clear brief not only helps us give you a better quote, it also saves time and reduces revisions later in the process.

We take data privacy seriously. The AI Quote Tool is powered by OpenAI’s API, which means any information you enter is handled securely and is not used to train AI models by default. According to OpenAI’s current policy, data sent through the API is not stored long-term, and is only retained temporarily for monitoring or debugging purposes if needed. Even then, it’s managed securely and automatically purged. If you’re using ChatGPT Plus, Team, or Enterprise accounts (which includes our integration), your data is not used for training unless you’ve explicitly opted in. For extra privacy, we recommend avoiding sensitive personal information when submitting your quote request and rest assured—your app idea and data stay confidential.
