The honest answer is "it depends," and this page explains exactly on what. At the end, describe your project and get your own range, no sales call, no commitment.
Mexico's central time zone overlaps the entire US business day. Meetings, reviews and fixes happen while you're at work.
Proposals, meetings and documentation in English. No translation layer between you and the people building your product.
That is why many US companies build here. The generator gives you your specific range; we don't publish generic percentages.
Direct flights from most US hubs. When an on-site kickoff or demo matters, it's a short trip, not an expedition.
Contracts and intellectual property under a trade framework the US, Mexico and Canada all recognize.
An app is not a catalog item: it's a project. Two "restaurant apps" can differ five-fold depending on whether one needs a QR menu and the other needs inventory, loyalty and five locations. Anyone who quotes a number without asking a single question is either quoting something generic that will grow later, or planning to cut scope without telling you.
That's why we don't publish a table. We publish what actually helps: what moves the price, and how to get yours.
How many modules and how deep. A login is one thing; a login with roles, permissions and audit trail is another.
Payments, accounting, ERP, WhatsApp, terminals. Every external system adds work and risk.
Web, iOS, Android, or all three. A separate admin panel counts too.
A functional interface with standard components, or a custom-designed experience with your brand.
User volume, sensitive information, compliance (for example health or financial data).
Compressing the calendar costs: more people in parallel and less room to iterate.
It depends on the six factors above. What stays constant: a professional team in Mexico costs sensibly less per hour than a US team at the same technical level, which is why many US companies build here. Your specific range comes out of the generator in two minutes.
Less than the full product, but more than the word "minimum" suggests: a serious MVP has to work with real users, take payments if it takes payments, and not break. What gets cut is the number of features, not the quality of the ones that ship.
A well-scoped MVP is usually in real users' hands in 4 to 10 weeks. What stretches it most isn't coding: it's not having the scope clear at the start.
Time zone and communication. Offshore teams work while you sleep, so every question waits a day. A US agency works your hours at US rates. Nearshore in Mexico works your hours, in English, at a lower cost per hour. In all three cases, insist on owning the code.
SaaS is cheaper in year one and more expensive every year you use it without owning it. Custom software is paid once, the code is yours, and it adapts to your operation instead of the other way around. It pays off when your process is your competitive edge.
Scope per module, explicit assumptions, what's out of scope, phases with deliverables, who owns the code, and what happens after launch. If any of these is missing, ask.
Yes. A well-planned project is delivered and paid by phase, and every phase leaves something that works.
No signup wall, no sales call. Describe your project in English; the proposal comes back in English.
Each vertical has its own modules and timelines. Pick yours and arrive with the generator preloaded.
