Costs to Build a Web App
Thanks to Mike for sending this excellent summary of a SXSW panel on the costs to build and maintain a web app.
The most relevant (to me):
# Maya’s Mom: Build $70,000 / Monthly $30,000
# Mobissimo: Build $60,000 / Monthly $150,000
Homethinking is probably most like Maya’s Mom. We launched the initial site with coverage of California with a little more capital but out monthly costs are slightly lower (at least at the moment). All figures obviously don’t count sweat equity which is a large part of the efforts at the early stages as well.
