Single 40k, both 70k. Why 30k difference?

React Native vs native?

Can I start with an MVP?

React Native/Flutter: one code, two platforms = 1.3x cost. Performance 95% native.

There's one point I'm curious about. I mean don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.

Im also curious if anyone does it differently.

Thanks for writing this, that's the right way. The system lives on after delivery; maintenance is a separate line item.

If I understood correctly you're saying: Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.

Solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I learned this late. Correct me if I'm wrong.

We need to take it step by step. Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.

Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's right. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I've been dealing with this for a long time. When making a decision, first look at what data you have on hand.

when making a decision first look at what data you have on hand... hope this helps.

my perspective changed after experiencing that then honstly the system lives on after delivery; maintenance is a separate line item.

good luck with that.

I'm in the same situation that's why I'm asking. Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.

Good luck with that.

I partly agree, partly disagree. Solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I learned this late.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Looking at it as a process, the picture changes. If it's your first time, start small; scaling comes later.

yes, thats exactly how it is with mobile app cost. i mean any unwritten clause becomes a pont of disagreement later, as both sides remember it differently.

the biggest time-waster for us was not knowing who had the final say.

let me write how its done in practice and any unwritten clause becomes a point of disagreement later, as both sides remember it differently.

the cheapest quote is usually the least thought-out one and i mean proven by experience.

The discussion got scattered, let me summarize. If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later.

This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.
