— Methodology

The five delivery buckets are calibrated against real-world pricing observed across 2024–2026 in the B2B SaaS MVP market: no-code self-build ($0–$5k), freelance developer ($5k–$15k), productized agency ($9k–$25k), traditional dev agency ($40k–$150k+), in-house team ($80k–$300k+).

The composite scope score (0–100) weights auth, billing, AI features, core flow count, design polish, and compliance posture. Higher scope scores push estimates toward the top of each bucket's range; lower scope scores toward the bottom.

The “best fit” recommendation encodes editorial guidance from the cost research: which delivery model is the right call given the scope you've described, not just the cheapest. Compliance work, AI features, and high flow counts shift the recommendation toward productized or traditional models.
