1 dev for backend and api, 1 dev for phone app, 1 qa, outsource landing page. 3 months for the project. Monthly spend: 3.5 x n where n is a proxy for quality and probability of successful project completion; $5k, $10k, $20k.

3 x 3.5 x $20k = $210k

Thank you. This is helpful for me. I always tell my CEO we don't charge enough.

With that said though, it didn't take us three months. But we had slightly more people than you gave too.
