🦉 Fred's Pick

ScopeCalc

Show clients what software actually costs — before the awkward call.

01The Problem

Your prospect thinks their app costs $5K. They have a $3K overseas quote. The real number is $50-80K. You've tried line-item breakdowns, failure case studies, smaller MVPs. Nothing lands. Half are already committed to the cheap quote before you even talk.

02The Solution

An interactive cost estimator you embed on your site or send to prospects. Client describes their idea through a guided questionnaire, gets a realistic cost range with visual breakdowns showing where every dollar goes. Not a quote tool — an education tool that sets expectations before the sales call.
