Hello everyone, we are a tiny, family-run business that creates augmented reality applications. I’ve been looking everywhere and reading a lot about invoicing, expenses, and the best ways to set a reasonable price for our services. I was hoping this AVR FORUM might provide more insight.
I am aware that everything depends on the deliveries.
Thus, two instances:
1.A compact application with a compact scope. One with few displays, basic AR functionality, basic UX/UI elements and features, no data storage, no backend, and no calls to third-party APIs.
2.A medium-sized application with a moderately-sized reach. Everything mentioned above, including potential database integration, custom UI elements, some third-party integrations, and intermediate business logic.
What price plan using numbers for PoC?
What figure-based pricing method is best for MVP?
What pricing approach using figures for the entire app?
I own an AR shop, therefore to price either of those requests, you would need to get much more specific. It’s impossible to determine a fair price without first understanding what you’re building. How many non-AR screens, how many help overlays, what is the purpose of AR, how many 3D objects are required, what level of realism, and is it necessary to scan real objects or people to convert them into 3D objects? It’s everything. I would strongly advise you to create a discovery offering to gain a better understanding of what you need to construct, divide it into tasks, and assign a price for each work. Developing a reasonable estimate based on such requests would be quite challenging.
I own an AR shop; pricing either of those requests would require far more detail. You can’t set a reasonable price without first determining what you’re building. How many non-AR screens, how many help overlays, what does the AR perform, how many 3D items are required, what fidelity, and do physical objects or people need to be scanned to convert them into 3D objects? It’s an entire thing. I would strongly advise you to create a discovery offering to get clients to give you a better idea of what you need to build, then divide it into jobs and price them. It would be quite difficult to develop a reasonable estimate based on those requests.
