FAQ
Common questions
- How accurate is this software cost estimator?
- It is indicative only. We score your answers against delivery patterns from past projects, then map them to timeline and budget bands. A discovery call is required before any fixed quote.
- What types of projects can I estimate?
- Mobile apps, web apps, SaaS platforms, ecommerce builds, custom software, and AI-heavy products. You can select multiple platforms and describe integrations in plain language.
- Does the estimate include UAE or India pricing?
- Yes. Erratum Solutions delivers from Silicon Oasis, Dubai, UAE and Calicut, Kerala, India with lean teams. Ranges reflect our model, not large US agency staffing.
- Why do I need to verify my phone number?
- Verification keeps the tool available for serious inquiries and reduces automated abuse. It is the same gate used in the Erratum AI chat widget.
- Can I get a written proposal after the estimate?
- Yes. Use the contact page or WhatsApp after you run the estimator. Reference your answers and we will schedule a discovery call.
- Is the estimator the same as the chat widget?
- Yes. Questions, scoring, and result cards use the same configuration. Updates to the model apply to both this page and the site chat.
- What budget ranges does the tool show?
- Bands are tied to a complexity score from 1 to 10, based on roles, platforms, AI depth, admin needs, ecommerce scope, and timeline pressure.
- Can I ask follow-up questions?
- After your report generates, you can ask follow-ups on this page or open the Software Cost Estimator mode in Erratum AI chat.
