DevQuote Cost Calculator is a local, offline estimation tool designed to help you calculate and plan the development costs of your software projects. Organize your project estimates, manage development roles, and generate comprehensive pricing proposals.
Key Features:
- Project Management: Create and organize software development projects with name, client name, base hourly rate, and complexity level.
- Complexity Buffers: Set project risk tiers (Easy, Medium, Hard) that automatically apply multiplier adjustments (+5%, +20%, or +50% buffers) to the total estimated hours.
- Detailed Feature Estimations: List separate features under each project, specify estimated hours, select developer roles, and add notes.
- Hourly Rate Customization: Manage and edit hourly rates for standard developer roles (Lead Engineer, Frontend Developer, Backend Developer, UI/UX Designer, QA, Project Manager) or add custom roles to fit your team.
- Real-Time Summary Metrics: Automatically track total project hours (base vs. risk-adjusted) and total cost estimates as you modify parameters.
- Export and Share Proposals: Generate a text-based project estimate proposal, copy it to the clipboard, or share it via the system share sheet.
- Local Storage & Reset: All data is saved securely on your device. Easily reset all projects, features, and rates back to defaults.
- Search and Archive: Search through your projects by name or client, and archive completed proposals to keep your active list clean.
