Estimate for the development of the site and mobile application?

Question

Mobile development

Good evening!
Now I am ordering a website and a mobile application from one company. Made a full cost estimate today.
I wanted to ask you to look at this estimate and tell me which points it is better to pay attention to. I understand that without a detailed understanding of the project it is difficult to objectively assess the TOR.
The site is planned for 1C-Bitrix + Bitrix24
Mobile application based on Xamarin technology (cross-platform application - iOS and Android)
Estimate - https://1drv.ms/b/s!AudeXxUhRWypjSoMTPuoSjMzUGkd
I just have a point that raises a number of questions:
1. Stage – 3. Layout of design layouts. Tell me why these points are calculated separately - Layout of adaptive versions of pages and Layout of the main resolution
2. Stage - 4. Programming. API for integration with a mobile application
Stage - 3. Programming the functionality of the mobile application. Preparation of api for the application (on the side of the web version of the service) / Integration with 1C-Bitrix: Site Management
It seems strange to me to meet the same thing twice?
3. Project management. What it is?
4. Section testing. Why should I pay?
It seems to me that the cost is very high, especially the mobile application. I will be glad for any help

Answer 1

2 730 000 - for just a website? With the most common modules that come with Bitrix out of the box? Your mother's leg!!!! In the programming section, I'm a little misunderstanding the essence of many prices. Given the fact that there is a business version, then there will already be most of the necessary modules. They only need to be modified with a file for certain purposes.
What does a mobile app actually do? From the estimate, I did not understand. Almost everything is written there as in the estimate about the site.
What needs to be cooked there? The application will work with this

API for integration with a mobile application - 125,000 rubles.

and there is nothing to cook there. We simply request data via this API to the server and display them, I don’t understand what they are going to cook there.

Integration with 1C-Bitrix: Site management - 100 000 r

Why is it needed if we have an API? I will give a simple example. There are sites: Twitter, VK, Insta, Facebook, YouTube. They provide an API to work with their content. You can display YouTube videos, tweets, Instagram photos, etc. Nothing to cook for 150k. The maximum that may be required is a module for the application itself, which will help you easily request data from the service.

Newsletter of the main permit - 175,000 rubles.

I'm sorry, what? Basic permission? What is interesting about such an abundance of devices on the smartphone market?
Based on this, quoting user sim3x and his expression

You do not need to order both the site and the mobile application at once.
You either need a mobile app and a landing page to promote it, or you need a responsive website and no app

you don't need to make a mobile app. All you need is a responsive website.

Answer 2

I didn’t follow the link
From the point of view of a customer who does not understand development, the technical specification should not have those details at all
You buy features
Each feature is a finished product or an almost finished product
If you run out of money you can still start with limited functionality, but then you can easily continue developing
the PS: do it on Bitrix = do it twice, first on Bitrix, and then on a normal framework
. You don’t need to order both the website and the mobile application at once.
You either need a mobile app and a landing page to promote it, or you need a responsive website and no app
The size of the studio - do not care. Even if a studio has completed 100 projects like yours, no one will guarantee that trainees will not be assigned to your project simply because the rest are busy.
No one will change the price tag

Answer 3

They just charge 2500 for an hour of work. From here comes the cost. I started with 300r per hour freelancing. Now 1600 and I estimate the cost of the products I created not on the basis of what the conditional Vasya will make cheaper or more expensive, but on the basis of his employment. If they can find clients and take that kind of money for work, then it is their work that is worth so much.
Not satisfied with the cost, look for someone who will do it cheaper. And not necessarily that they will make it worse here as lucky. If you like this particular studio and their reputation, then get used to their prices.

Answer 4

API for integration with a mobile application - 125,000 rubles.

Preparation of api for the application (on the side of the web version of the service) - from 150,000 rubles.

Am I behind the times or do I not understand something?...
Check the cost of TK with other studios (2-3) and compare later.

Answer 5

1) Is Bitrix a necessity? It will be more expensive and not better obviously
2) Project management - making changes to the work in the process of developing a project. Well, that is, the designer drew a button, but the layout designer could not make it up, so I had to draw another one. For example.
3) From the price for the layout, I o:uel. 170k for static without adaptive for 70 hours - so that I earn money.
If Bitrix is ​​not fundamental, write, at least the site and API will definitely be cheaper))

Answer 6

For good, these questions should be asked to the studio, not to the toaster.
