A short FAQ video by Richard Schreiber (the Software Whisperer) addressing the common question "How much will it cost?" He states that cost depends on the scope and complexity—primarily the features/functions requested—estimated as developer man-hours, and also includes infrastructure and cloud resource costs.

Hi, Richard Schreiber, the Software Whisperer again. And today we're going to talk about a frequently asked question that is always on everyone's mind when you're talking software, and that is how much is it going to cost? Well, that really depends on the scope and the complexity of what you need the software to do. And that is usually comprised of the feature features and the functions that you need the software to do. So it's going to end up costing you whatever the time and effort for a development team to understand all these features and functions that you've hopefully been able to document for them so that they can give you an estimate in terms of how many man hours it's going to take. And then, of course, there are also some infrastructure needs and cloud resources and things of that nature that also got baked into the formula. So that's a quick answer for what it may cost. Richard Shriver, the Software Whisperer.
